The effects of ADHD can reach beyond its symptoms. It’s not uncommon for those suffering to experience dips in self-esteem, difficulty in establishing and maintaining relationships, and overall well-being. ADHD frequently accompanies other mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and learning disabilities, which adds to the complexity of diagnosis and treatment. It is also not uncommon for ADHD and these other diagnoses to be mistaken for one another, causing many - especially women - to go mis- or undiagnosed until later in life. We’re now seeing many that have struggled with self-doubt for so long, find hope as they learn there was valid reason for their difficulties in school, work, and relationships.
