ADHD can significantly impact daily functioning, relationships, and academic performance. It is important to recognize that ADHD is not simply a childhood disorder; many individuals carry these symptoms into adulthood and face challenges in maintaining focus, organizing tasks, managing time, and regulating emotions.

We live in a time that can feel very uncertain and anxiety-provoking. Anxiety is not always a bad thing; in fact, anxiety can help keep us safe, encourage us to problem-solve, and motivate us to complete difficult tasks. However, anxiety also has the ability to trap our thoughts in rumination of the past or worry about the future, and in doing so, robs us of our present. When I was a child, my grandmother used to say “worry is like a rocking chair; it gives you something to do, but doesn’t get you anywhere.”
