additudemag.comadditudemag.com:

The issue of medication for children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) — more than with any other condition that I treat — is controversial and murky.

For parents, the question of adding medication to their child’s treatment plan is one that weighs heavily. They research the pros and cons of ADHD medication, but their findings are colored by feelings of guilt and fear of judgement from others.

It is not a black-and-white decision for most caregivers.The benefits and side effects of ADHD medications, whether stimulants or nonstimulants, are well documented.

Why I Have to Keep My Chronic Illness a Secret to Keep My Career
Before my identity was intrinsically intertwined with my (sometimes visible) invisible illness, I identified first and foremost as a performer and singer. I started at a very young age and it became my dream to perform as my career. Long story short, my dream is in the process of coming true after working hard for many years through university and postgraduate study.

A Yoga Sequence for Resilience (Especially for Caregivers)
Caregiving for a loved one is not a job we apply for; it’s thrust upon us when someone close—a partner, parent, or child—needs help. This disruptive and sometimes immediate lifestyle change can be overwhelming and isolating, leaving us exhausted, anxious, depressed, and unable to provide the kind care we so desperately want to give. But yoga can help us take care of ourselves and find the resilience we need to help others. Here, this gentle 12-pose sequence can help you help yourself.

“I Don’t Need to Be Fixed!” Epiphanies of Self-Acceptance from Adults with ADHD
“Not long after I was diagnosed with ADHD in my 30s, I was surfing the web and found others like me. Reading their stories made me cry buckets of tears. I was not alone. I was not lazy. I was not stupid. There is a name for what I have suffered all of my life. That discovery and realizing that I have ADHD — it doesn’t have me — gave me the power and self-assurance to make changes and try new things.” — an ADDitude Reader

Q: Single Mom with ADHD Fears Modeling Bad Behavior and Habits
Q: “I’m a 52-year-old single mother who has had raging ADHD her whole life. My son is 16 and does not have ADHD. Unfortunately, I have modeled poor ADHD-related difficulties to him for so long (such as disorganization, impulsivity, what I call domestic ‘failure,’ and weak communication skills), that he has learned, and uses, these behaviors himself. My question is, how can I stop modeling these debilitating struggles to my son so that he can become who HE is supposed to be, instead of some version of me and my ADHD?” – SingleMomWithADHD

All the Joys I Never Knew I Was Missing
Two months ago, my doctor told me I had a respiratory infection (which my anxiety told me was definitely COVID-19), and I haven’t left my house since. I spent the first three weeks lazily in bed. Then my state locked down, and the panic followed shortly thereafter. Though I had nowhere to be, just the thought of being trapped with no choices, no options freaked me out. My instincts told me to get the hell out of there, but alas ‘flight’ was not an option.

Parents: Don't Let Anyone Make You Think You're Not Doing Enough Right Now
I recognize the feelings a little too well. There is a tightness, a sense of what’s coming that rises up into my chest. I consider it my almost panic attack, when I can tell my body is starting to need a moment, but it’s not to the point of breakdown. I stop and breathe deep. I repeat mantras, say a quick prayer and keep going. It was Ben’s first day back to work and I knew the anxiety would creep in.

Teaching Self-Care Skills to Children During the COVID-19 Pandemic
There has been a great deal of talk about the importance of self-care. The COVID-19 pandemic has created a great deal of stress, worry, and unease for nearly all of us. What we don’t hear enough about, however, is how crucial self-care can be for children’s well-being. During this time that adults need to preserve their own mental health and well-being, they must also tend to their children who require the same, if not more, self-care. Like general hygiene routines, children must be instructed on how to take care of themselves — this includes emotional care, too!

I’ve done extensive research on psychology, so why have I waited 31 years to get help if I’ve dealt with these issues all my life?

The Special Moments I Keep Noticing During the COVID-19 Pandemic
I saw it when I went for a walk with my daughter. It was a cool spring afternoon, a rare day when the sun was actually shining. She was zipping along the sidewalk on her scooter, 10 feet ahead of me. Her pink bike helmet bobbing up and down as she propelled herself forward. We passed by an elderly couple who moved to the other side of the street, waving hello from a safe physical distance. A few blocks later my daughter stopped in front of a house and pointed to the front window. “Look mom, a rainbow,” she said.

The Nights I Wonder About My Medically Complex Child's 'Complex' Emotions
“Complex” is a word I’m very familiar with when it comes to my daughter. “Complex medical needs” is typically one of the first descriptors when it comes to her condition. Her body, down to her genetic makeup is complex — each organ just a bit different from the “norm,” resulting in issues with her brain, heart, kidneys and bladder. Each illness she tackles is off the beaten path… complex. So complex that I feel that I’ve spent the majority of the last five years of my life explaining her complexity. But one thing that I usually round out my complexity discussion with is, “But E is easy. She keeps it simple: ‘Puffin Rock,’ ‘Daniel Tiger,’ music and food. She is sunshine incarnate.” I can sum E herself up in three sentences.

4 TikTok Therapists You Need to Follow If You Struggle With Your Mental Health
Similar to Vine, TikTok has become the new social media rage over this year. It tends to be used primarily by teenagers, but is becoming increasingly popular across all age groups. Young adults, celebrities, “TikTok moms” and even the elderly are all sharing videos. I finally caved in and joined a few months ago and let me tell you, if there is anything bringing in some extra serotonin during this quarantine, it’s this app. I find myself laughing, crying, trying to dance and feeling understood by my fellow users. Among the many users of this app, there are mental health professionals using the platform to spread awareness and help those who are struggling — they refer to themselves as “TikTok therapists.”
