Do you suffer low self-esteem because you have difficulty maintaining daily responsibilities at school, work, or home? Do you struggle with sitting for long periods or staying on task? Do you sometimes feel as though you are "controlled" by strong waves of emotion or anger? Maybe you're discovering trouble in your relationships with others due to forgetfulness, time management, impulsiveness, substance abuse, or general communication issues.
Although it may look different to each and every person, these are just some of the potential symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
ADHD is commonly understood as a deficiency in the way certain neurotransmitters (chemicals in the brain) work, especially dopamine. Due to this, ADHD can often become "hidden" under a variety of other co-occuring mental health concerns (i.e.- depression, anxiety, trauma) and substance use issues, which may result in symptoms going unnoticed or misdiagnosed.
