Whether or not you have a formal diagnosis of ADHD, many people can relate to struggling with ADHD symptoms. These can include disorganization, feeling “scattered”, inability to manage focus (inability to focus, difficulty in shifting focus), hyperactivity (an “ants in your pants” type feeling, difficulty in sitting still), procrastination, difficulty in managing time, among others. These symptoms can contribute to feelings of anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns. Unfortunately, ADHD is under diagnosed and commonly missed, especially in females.

It can be challenging to manage these symptoms, but there are strategies that can help. These strategies range from working on executive functioning skills (including organizational strategies, learning to prioritize, managing procrastination) to processing the impact ADHD has had on relationships and daily life. There is hope that you can feel better and have your life run more smoothly!
