How to say what you mean without pissing-off people. #adhd #socialskills

Picking up on the drama of the previous episode, we continue the series on how ADHD affects our social skills. As many of you know, social skills are more challenging for us than others who don’t have #ADHD. And even within the ADHD population, there are some who are more impacted by this symptom than others.

WHY THIS TOPIC?
I chose “Over/Under reacting” as the number-three of the most worrisome Social Skills because it is a theme that has popped up in my life enough that caused me to think there was something wrong with my personality. I’ve lost friends over this particular quirk and it’s led me down paths where I prioritized things that didn’t need immediate attention and catastrophized events that didn’t warrant the drama I gave to it.

http://adhdinadults.com/ Learn how healthcare professionals can better educate their patients about Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and how to facilitate the conversations surrounding ADHD from Anthony Rostain MD/MA, the Medical Director for the Penn Medicine Adult ADHD Program. Rostain offers doctors and/or PCPs guidance on how to educate patients about adult ADHD and set them up for successful treatment.

When discussing ADHD for the first time with a patient, the doctor should help the patient identify some of their strengths as well as their weaknesses as they relate to ADHD. Highlighting positive characteristics helps give patient hope and reminds the patient there is support available for managing their disorder. Encouraging patients to learn about changes in their home environment and providing other strategies for patients to cope with ADHD is also encouraged.

Doctors should discuss expectations regarding treatment options early. In order to effectively do so, physicians should be aware of the prescription options available for treating patients (stimulants and non-stimulants). Healthcare professionals should also know about local cognitive therapy resources that are available to help patients manage their ADHD.

One kind of barrier that patients may have is overcoming behavioral problems, such as procrastination. Another barrier is a lack of confidence, due to the interference ADHD has had over the course of the patient's life. These barriers can result in compensatory strategies that can interfere with coping strategies. Cognitive therapy can help patients reduce symptoms and improve functioning without medication and knowing its advantages is important to counseling patients.

I tell you my story with medication for ADD (Concerta) and how I feel about it all.
I also share the fact that you can have comorbid mental difficulties like anxiety and depression, and how to know if these two stem from your ADD or not!

Hello people that I love!
This video is my story about being diagnosed with attention deficit disorder. (ADD)
I also share the three pillars/components that make up ADHD and ADD: Inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. These are the components of ADHD and I will share what they look like in mine. Also, how emotional regulation is an important piece of the ADD puzzle that is often overlooked. (Intense emotions)
Here’s my story about medication for ADD (Concerta), and how it affected me.
I agree with the idea that you may have comorbid mental problems like anxiety or depression. Learn how to tell if they are related to your ADD.
We hope you find this relatable and less lonely. This is possible! 😀 xxxxxx

A new systematic review and meta-analysis based on 133 double-blind, randomized controlled trials has concluded that methylphenidate is the best first-line medication choice for the treatment of ADHD in kids and teens.

ADHD and Mood Swings

Everyone has mood swings occasionally and regardless of age, but for people who learn and think differently, regulating their emotions can be challenging. Kids with ADHD can become overwhelmed in social situations and experience a range of emotions throughout the day.

Understanding that emotional rollercoasters are a part of ADHD can Allow you to help your child balance feelings in a healthy and productive way. Stephanie Sarkis, PhD, a clinical specialist in child and adolescent counseling, offers tips that can help children better express themselves.
