    Similar Brain Changes Seen in Those with ADHD and Emotional Instability Disorders

    September 5, 2018 / No Comments

    We can call them sibling conditions, since they both involve partly overlapping underlying brain mechanisms, and therefore attention should be paid to both dimensions during diagnosis Similar Brain Changes Seen in Those with ADHD and Emotional Instability Disorders By Traci Pedersen Clinical observation has long shown that individuals with attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often have emotional problems, such as chaotic emotional responses, anxiety and depression. Yet the link between ADHD and impaired emotional regulation has not been identified, even though theories have proposed that both conditions are rooted in a dysfunction in how the brain processes information.

Should You Tell Your Boss About Your Mental Health Condition? By Hannah Ewens Most people I know with an ongoing mental health condition haven’t told their employer about it.

When bigotry invades mental healthcare: Women, sexual minorities are most vulnerable to harassment Prateek Sharma “I was talking about my nightmares to my therapist and while in the middle of that I accidentally told him that I am a bisexual and out of nowhere he just slapped me and asked me to go away. The incident did make me badly depressed, took a toll on my health and everything. I already have ADD and OCD and that’s what I was seeing the therapist for.
