Adult ADHD can create many personality conflicts with others.  When one discovers they have ADHD, they can start to reflect on the past and how they acted or how they wish they behaved.  Being able to reclaim one’s life and understand ADHD and cope with it is critical in living a successful life at work and home.

The article, “Has ADHD Warped Your Sense of Self? It’s Time to Reclaim Your Story — and Power.” by Dr Alise Cogger looks at how one can reclaim one’s life against ADHD.  She states,

“Yes, ADHD is a constellation of inattentive, hyperactive, and impulsive symptoms accompanied by academic, professional, social, and other life impairments. But perhaps most importantly, ADHD is a web of deeply rooted memories and stories. These memories hold a long history that inform our perceptions of ourselves and our capabilities. They are hard to shake and may warp our self-esteem and understanding of who we are.”

A big issue with any mental problem is medication.  Medication while helpful can also produce numerous side effects.  It is always best if coping and counseling can help alleviate an issue.  This is not always the case so the question of when and what is always central.  ADHD also comes into play with various medications to help alleviate the symptoms.  The big question is if medication is best for a particular individual or not.

The article, “The ADHD debate: To medicate or not to medicate, that is the question” by Dr Hanli Ratenbauch explores this debate in greater detail.  The article states,

“The debate on whether or not to medicate is a difficult one. Parents are concerned about the consequences if you don’t medicate before your child reaches adulthood.  Of the 5-9% of children diagnosed with ADHD, 70% of people carry it into adolescence and 50% into adulthood. As we age, the hyperactivity and impulsive behaviour decreases, but the non-core issues relating to peer relationships, self esteem, family function and social skills can remain negatively impacted.”

Managing money, like many things, can become difficult with ADHD.  ADHD can create an uncomfortable urge to continue to upgrade or add to something.  It can make one unsettled.  ADHD can hence become a major issue for adults who try to save money or spend more money.

The article, “Managing finances when you have ADHD” from MONEYSENSE reviews ways to better save money despite the ADHD urges.  The article states,

“To break that down, we all have something called executive function: That’s a function of the brain that allows us to review and think about the decisions we are making, and create a strategy for seeing those decisions through. Now, people like me, who have ADHD—we don’t have as much control over that executive function. And what that looks like from the outside is impulsive and erratic behaviour, which can have financial consequences.”

ADHD can cause havoc with impulses and it is no wonder that financial issues can follow adults with ADHD.  To read the entire article, please click here
