When We Hyperfixate on Crushes: Stories of ADHD Limerence
When cupid’s arrow strikes ADHD hearts, it embeds deep — at least for a time.For many ADDitude readers, falling in love is an intense, all-consuming experience. The dopamine rush of having a new crush or of being in love is “addicting,” as one reader describes, creating the perfect setting for dopamine-charged hyperfixation and big emotions to take over (especially when it’s unrequited love).When pining for someone’s love and attention becomes obsessive and disruptive, as has happened to some of our readers, that’s a state known as limerence, a term coined by psychologist Dorothy Tennov, Ph.D., in her 1979 book, Love and Limerence: The Experience of Being in Love.

Live Webinar on February 28: Eating Disorders Comorbid with ADHD: What You Need to Know About ARFID, Anorexia, and Others
Not available February 28? Don’t worry. Register now and we’ll send you the replay link to watch at your convenience.Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions that often go undetected and untreated. An estimated 28 million Americans will struggle with an eating disorder at some point in their lifetime, but only some of these individuals will receive the care they need. Given the high rate of comorbidity between eating disorders and ADHD, it’s important for families, caregivers, and individuals with ADHD to be well-informed about the symptoms and treatments for different types of eating disorders. This is particularly true for diagnoses that are relatively new or understudied like atypical anorexia nervosa and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID).In this webinar you will learn:Have a question for our expert? There will be an opportunity to post questions for the presenter during the live webinar.Dr. Christine Peat is the Director of the National Center of Excellence for Eating Disorders (NCEED) and an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. As the Director of NCEED, Dr. Peat is focused on broadly disseminating education and training on eating disorders to healthcare providers across a variety of disciplines. Her scientific research has focused on evidence-based treatments for eating disorders and the physiological comorbidities associated with these conditions.Dr. Peat is also a licensed psychologist in North Carolina and continues to be an active clinician at UNC serving patients with eating disorders, supporting healthcare providers in the UNC Wellbeing Program, and providing behavioral medicine interventions to patients in various medical settings.

Untangling Treatment for Trauma and ADHD
Small studies suggest that an individual with trauma may be predisposed to ADHD, just as anyone with a history of trauma is predisposed to depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).The task of a good diagnostician is to identify a patient’s current diagnoses and treat them, focusing particularly on the most pressing and problematic symptoms. If all of those appear to be symptoms of PTSD, we treat that with a different kind of therapy called trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT).

How to Co-Parent a Child with ADHD: Solutions from Readers

What a Good Patient-Provider Relationship Looks Like, According to Readers
Finding a healthcare provider who is both well-versed in ADHD and a good fit can is the Number One barrier to quality ADHD care, according a recent ADDitude reader survey. The right professional can make a world of difference — a personal touch goes a long way — but with rising mental health concerns and a limited number of clinicians trained to address them, not everyone has been so lucky. Add waitlists, stimulant shortages, skewed research, and outdated guidelines, and it’s easy to understand why many patients with ADHD — adults and caregivers — are eager for more guidance.The comments below are a true testament to the difference a trained provider can make in your ADHD journey.

“What Happens When You Give a Tape Recorder to a Chatty Kid”
I’ve always been long-winded. As a chatty kid, I saw myself (I’m embarrassed to say) in Donkey, the talkative motor-mouth and sometimes annoying character from Shrek who could not and would not shut up. I suppose the rest of my family and friends, to my chagrin, also saw the uncanny similarities between myself and that hyperactive little sidekick.Though I excelled in classes that relied heavily on participation and creative thinking, my enthusiasm – in the form of constant hand-raising and oversharing – wasn’t always appreciated.

“Riding Motorbikes and Contemplating Death with ADHD”
Death is terrifying, in part, because it’s impossible to imagine ‘nothing.’ Instinctually, our brains and bodies actively reject the unknown. I suspect this is why so many cultures and religions have formed beliefs and stories about the afterlife — to give death some boundaries, some purpose, and some meaning. Still, death is arguably the only thing in life you can’t reject, escape, or deny.

Preconception Experiences of Moms — and Dads — May Influence Babies’ Development
To what extent can parents’ experiences before conception influence their offspring’s development, behavior, and long-term health? It’s an increasingly common question that scientists can’t answer — at least not yet.The link between parental experiences and child outcomes is well established, but research has generally focused on the prenatal period (e.g., the effects of smoking, stress, or diet during pregnancy) or the postnatal period (e.g., the impact of different parenting practices). More recent is the idea that parents may influence their children’s lives and health even before conception.

“Foods Can’t Touch on My Plate:” On Life with ARFID and Food Aversions
FREE WEBINAR ON FEB. 28, 2024:Register for “Eating Disorders Comorbid with ADHD: What to Know About ARFID, Anorexia, and Others” Can’t stand mushy bananas? Hate the taste of cilantro? Avoid foods that smell or look a certain way?If you answered yes to any of the above, then you share a lot in common with our ADDitude readers, many of whom experience strong sensory reactions to food based on taste, texture, smell, and/or temperature. Sensory sensitivities, after all, commonly occur with ADHD, autism, and other forms of neurodivergence.Aversions to certain foods can create minor inconveniences around eating, but in extreme cases — as is the case for some of our readers — food aversions and selective eating are due to avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), a condition wherein food avoidance or restriction is based on sensory characteristics and qualities of food, concern about aversive consequences of eating, and/or a lack of interest in food.

Co-Parenting After Divorce: A Guide for ADHD Families
The gold standard for a great divorce when you have kids with ADHD is one in which both parents are working together, amicably. In an ideal world, all parents adopt the same healthy approach to managing ADHD, along with the same schedule and routine.But this smooth, coordinated ideal is difficult to achieve when co-parenting children with ADHD after divorce.We know that children with ADHD have executive functioning challenges. Divorce may heighten those struggles largely because the prefrontal cortex, the command center for executive functioning, is now also trying to manage frequent transitions amid a changing family dynamic.Transitioning between home, school, and another home brings changes in routine and possible parental conflict.

Study: ADHD Symptoms in Children Missed by Clinicians for Up to Two Years
January 24, 2024ADHD symptoms in children and adolescents are routinely overlooked by general practitioners (GPs), who see these patients more often than they do their neurotypical peers in the two years preceding a diagnosis, according to the journal Archives of Disease in Childhood. With better training in ADHD, GPs could recognize these frequent visits — for everything from asthma and eczema to behavioral disorders — as possible indicators of ADHD and opportunities for early evaluation, say the researchers behind the study.

Why the ADHD Brain Chooses the Less Important Task — and How CBT Improves Prioritization Skills
A combination of “procrastinate” and “activity,” the term “procrastivity” aptly describes a tussle common among adults with ADHD who are always busy but never seem to make headway on life’s important goals. At its root is an implementation problem: the individual knows what they need to do, but they won’t or can’t do it, so they keep occupied with more palatable but less critical tasks.Filing taxes, for example, is a high-priority, strict-deadline task that an adult with ADHD might put off for re-seeding the lawn.

Q: “Are My Feelings Valid, Even If RSD Is Involved?”
Q: “When I feel rejected, slighted, or hurt by someone, how can I know whether my feelings are valid or if they’ve been tainted by rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD)? I often question whether I’m overreacting or responding appropriately to situations. I sometimes feel like I’m not entitled to have strong negative emotions.”As someone who also feels emotions intensely (growing up, my parents called me Super Sensitive Sharon), I understand completely where you’re coming from when you question the validity of your feelings. When I have big feelings, I truly think that something is the matter with me.

Special Report: ADHD Treatments Scorecard from ADDitude Readers
ADHD medication remains a magnet for debate, confusion, and promise.Amphetamine and methylphenidate have been used to treat ADHD for at least 80 years, and their safety and efficacy have been studied relentlessly. But according to a recent ADDitude survey, less than half (42%) of parents opt to medicate their children in the months after a diagnosis, largely due to the risk of side effects like appetite suppression or sleep disruption — both possible impediments to growth.In the end, 85% of all people with ADHD end up taking medication and they rate its efficacy higher than any other treatment included in the survey, ADDitude’s largest to date.

Study: Hoarding Disorder Symptoms More Highly Comorbid with ADHD Than with OCD
January 12, 2024Hoarding disorder (HD) is significantly more common in people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) than it is in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), according to a study published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research.1Researchers from the Brain Center Firenze in Italy and McMaster University in Canada found that adults with ADHD had a substantially higher prevalence of hoarding disorder (32%) than did adults with OCD (8%) or adults in the control group (4%).A similar pattern emerged during a second analysis focused on hoarding disorder symptoms of excessive clutter and difficulty discarding. Twenty-two percent of the ADHD group had the condition compared to 6% of the OCD group and 4% of the control group.The American Psychiatric Association defines hoarding disorder as a distinct psychiatric condition characterized by persistent difficulty discarding possessions, regardless of their actual value, resulting in severely cluttered living spaces, distress, and impairment.The APA classified hoarding disorder as a subtype of OCD in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) in 2013.

I’m afraid that if I declutter I’ll end up getting rid of something I actually need, which has happened to me before.”It’s common to feel some level of guilt or anxiety at the thought of throwing things away, especially if you’ve had the experience of discarding items that you ended up needing. When this happens, it’s usually a case of too much decluttering and not enough organizing.“Decluttering” and “organizing” are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same thing.

You Are Enough: How to Counteract Imposter Syndrome, Perfectionism, and RSD
It’s an aspect of living with ADHD that no one discusses: a core sense of deficiency.We feel we’re not good enough, not smart enough, not productive enough, largely because people have told us as much all our lives. Aside from toxic self-esteem problems, this pattern of negative messaging also leads to social anxiety – often experienced as rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD), imposter syndrome, and perfectionism.These dimensions of social anxiety overlap and are often experienced together. They also explain a lot about the negative internal state — that nagging feeling of being “not good enough” — that often plagues individuals living with ADHD.Social anxiety causes debilitating fear and avoidance of situations that may expose you to scrutiny, humiliation, rejection, or judgment.
