Hormones affect attention, mood, and energy. Noticing when symptoms rise and fall through your hormonal cycle can help you work with your body, not against it.

#ADHD symptoms exist on a spectrum — there’s no clear dividing line where people have it or don’t have it. Misunderstanding this fuels misplaced fears about rising diagnoses, according to two psychiatrists

Yes, ADHD diagnoses are rising, but that doesn’t mean it’s overdiagnosed

ADHD symptoms occur on a continuum and can fluctuate dramatically based on life circumstances such as transitions to middle school, stress levels and even sleep.

"Hurry sickness" isn’t an ADHD-specific term. In fact, the phrase was coined back in 1974 by a cardiologist team writing about the damaging effects of a "Type A" personality on the heart.

In this interview w/ @kyavo.bsky.social for @parentingteens.bsky.social, I discussed how parents can prep their students with disabilities for college transition. (Spoiler - there are no IEPs OR 504 plans at college.) I hope you'll read & share. https://bit.ly/LDAi1x

"The more students know how to do, the more they’ve practiced being independent, the more confident they will be able to be about that transition."

When the reward for growing up with so much criticism is hearing „You’re just too sensitive!

Panel 1:
A hand extends a single red brick toward the character. The character looks surprised and slightly sad as they reach out to take it. Text: “It’s hard for people to understand why small comments can make me so emotional,”
Behind the character, there’s already a small pile of red bricks on the ground.

Panel 2:
The character now holds the brick close to their chest, looking down with a pained expression. The pile of red bricks behind them has grown into a large heap, stretching far into the background. Text: “because they can’t see how many times I’ve been criticized for the same thing, over and over again.”
