Welcome to another insightful episode of "Thriving with ADHD," presented by Animo Sano Psychiatry. In today's discussion, we dive deep into the complex relationship between ADHD and emotional regulation with our special guest, Stephanie Solomon, a highly experienced physician assistant at Animo Sano Psychiatry. Stephanie offers her clinical expertise to help us explore why adults with ADHD often struggle with managing their emotions and what can be done to improve emotional well-being.
Stephanie explains that emotional dysregulation is not officially included in the diagnostic criteria for ADHD, yet it is increasingly recognized as a core symptom. We learn how ADHD affects brain systems involved in emotional control, leading to challenges such as impulsive behavior, heightened emotional sensitivity, and difficulty in maintaining relationships and productivity.
In this episode, Stephanie highlights common signs of emotional dysregulation and offers a variety of strategies and therapies to improve emotional control, including mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, diet, and exercise. She also emphasizes the importance of support from family, educators, and peers in managing emotions and fostering a supportive environment.
Stephanie and our host, Nada Pupovac, conclude the episode by underscoring the significance of emotional acceptance and support, reminding listeners that emotions are a natural part of human existence. Join us in learning how to embrace and manage emotions more effectively to thrive with ADHD.
Tune in to discover practical tips and supportive strategies that can help individuals with ADHD enhance their emotional regulation skills and overall quality of life.
