“Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself… You may give them your love but not your thoughts, for they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow…” ~Kahlil Gibran

Navigating any sort of new mental health diagnosis can feel overwhelming. It usually comes with new prescription medications, therapy sessions, and other recommendations from a doctor. In many cases, people feel so shocked that they don’t even know what questions to ask at first.

We are living in an age in which there is so much information, that we can no longer deny the direct impact of our actions, especially when it comes to our children. If you look around, it’s extremely obvious that young men are suffering immensely, and much of this suffering is tied to how we are teaching and handling our sons on an emotional level.First and foremost, just because something is traditional or has been done for generations does not make it right. For ages, parents have beat the crap out of their kids, calling it discipline, and now study after study is showing that corporal punishment is not only ineffective it’s devastating to your child’s well-being.

Growing up, I loved watching TV. In fact, it’s the only thing I did most days. It’s not shocking that I’ve made my living engaging with, writing about, and creating media. I found the immersive worlds spoke to me in ways I couldn’t understand. Hyperactive characters that loved being funny and would maybe cut people off every now and then always made me feel seen. Little did I know I was living with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and these characters (whether intentionally or unintentionally) showed all the same traits I lived with.

The last few years have been full of ups and downs for singer/superstar Demi Lovato, who is known for processing their very public battle with addiction through their music. Now, their latest song about addiction “Skin of My Teeth” goes back to their rock roots. The song isn’t just punk rock for being edgy — it’s calling out how we treat people with addiction head-on. In the chorus, Demi declares: 

When I first began watching “The Deep End” on Hulu, I had no clue who Teal Swan was or why this documentary had been made. Within five minutes of the first episode beginning, I was yelling at my phone in horror, “That’s not OK.” As the episode unfolded, it felt as though I was witnessing a real-life version of the series “Nine Perfect Strangers” on steroids and I needed to know more. Who exactly was Teal Swan? Where did she come from? And how did she become as infamous as she has? That’s exactly what I have spent the past three weeks discovering.

Many slurs are a hard “no” to say— we know how they’ve been used to undermine minority groups and understand why we shouldn’t use them. Disability slurs, however, don’t receive the same negative press as words that harm other minority groups, so they’re often regularly interspersed in our conversations. If you’d like to change your phrasing to be more mindful of the disability community’s history and challenges, here are 10 common terms you may not know are disability slurs.

confidence in yourself means something different to each person.For instance, you may wake up in the morning and love what you see looking back at yourself in the mirror. However, another person doesn’t even consider that as confidence. They would see someone who goes to work, does a good job, and lives to face another day as assurance.The good news is that there is no right or wrong way to show assurance.

Days with chronic illness can be unpredictable. Days with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) can be just as unique and uncertain as the disease itself. In addition to the normal uncertainty of everyday life that we all must face, you also have the added “fun” of never quite knowing how you will feel. Most days, my treatment manages PD very well.  Sometimes, however, a conversation similar to this occurs:

cringey jokes. Struggling in unstructured social situations.

I sometimes look back on life before lupus and psoriatic arthritis and feel startled by the richness of my days back then. I woke up, exercised, taught a full day as a preschool teacher, studied, and often went out for a drink or coffee with a friend before winding down for the night. My schedule required fewer choices than it does now. I thought nothing of how that kind of fulfillment from everyday activities merited keeping — or what the cost would be to my mental health were I to lose any major life activity.

When you think of the teachers who’ve had the greatest impact on your life, who comes to mind?

Perfectionism becomes, for them, an unhealthy coping mechanism.“Perfectionists are often driven by the fear of disappointing themselves or others,” said clinical psychologist and author Sharon Saline, Psy.D. in a recent ADDitude webinar on perfectionism. “They are all-or-nothing thinkers; if it’s not completely right, then it must be a failure.”We asked ADDitude readers which perfectionist traits cause them the most trouble.

May 18, 2022ADHD medication use may decrease the risk for long-term unemployment among adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, according to a recent study published in JAMA Open Network.1 The study found the association between pharmacological treatment and decreased risk of unemployment to be significantly stronger among women.Previous research has shown that adults with ADHD face an increased risk for unemployment.2, 3, 4 Pharmacological treatments have proven effective in reducing core ADHD symptoms such as difficulty concentrating, poor planning, lack of organization, self-regulation deficits, forgetfulness, and impulsivity.5, 6“However, less is known about the extent to which pharmacological treatment for ADHD is associated with reductions in unemployment rates,” the researchers wrote. “This is a critical limitation, because long-term unemployment is associated with economic difficulties, worse mental and physical health, and higher mortality rates.”Researchers sought to determine whether taking medication for ADHD was associated with a lower unemployment rate among working-age adults.

Do you ever look back on your youth and wonder why nobody picked up on certain signs that you were already living with depression, anxiety, or another aspect of your mental health? That’s what made the diagnosis for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) so interesting for me — it was like the final key puzzle piece slotting into place, making everything that’s come before it all the clearer. It’s all I’ve wanted from diagnosis: validation that my struggles are quantifiable and explainable. It makes me feel more human and less like the outsider I’ve always felt I am.

I remember when I was first diagnosed with ADHD, I didn’t know how to talk about it. I wasn’t sure what to say, and I didn’t know if telling people would change their perception of me. Part of me was worried they wouldn’t believe me, while another part was worried that they’d see me differently or judge me. Ultimately I decided that I needed to tell people about my diagnosis because I needed support and I didn’t want to hide it or carry it alone. I also knew that my ADHD caused behavior that wasn’t fair to others, and I didn’t want my telling others to come off as if I was making excuses or not taking accountability for my actions. If I had to do it all over again, here’s what I’d do.

Do you have a child with a disability? If you do, I’m almost positive that at some point in this parenting journey you have felt the pain of wanting them to be happy and included. Do you have a child without a disability? Have you ever been sad when your child felt left out? If you have, I can confidently say to multiply that feeling by infinity and you’ll have a small understanding of how awful it feels when your child with a disability is excluded.
