Are you the type of person who tends to over-do it, because if one is good, ten is better?
The inability to self-regulate is a hallmark symptom of ADHD. Because the ADHD brain does not regulate dopamine well. Which makes it hard to get started when a task seems boring, and hard to stop when you’re feeling good.
Typically perceived as a learning disability in school-aged boys, the ADHD diagnosis for women ages 30-49 has doubled in the last few years.
Which is good…because without a proper diagnosis, most ADHDers attribute their struggles to a lack of integrity and discipline. But feeling like a failure only compounds the emotional energy required to function. And further increases your risk of addiction.
Eric Trivers is a licensed clinical social worker, certified ADHD service provider and host of the hit podcast ADHD Rewired. In this episode, you’ll learn:
How ADHD impairs executive function and drains your emotional reserves
How menopause affects the symptoms of ADHD in women
Why undiagnosed ADHD makes you more susceptible to addiction
How stimulant medications support the ADHD brain when overcoming alcohol use disorder
Why the primary coping strategies for ADHD are awareness and self-compassion
