Distorted Thoughts in ADHD
- Automatic negative thoughts are common but often distorted or incomplete and can worsen mood and functioning.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) challenges these thoughts to improve mood and behavior, crucial for ADHD management.

- Break tasks down into manageable steps and set realistic expectations for progress.
- Use reframing and time limits like 15-minute increments to increase task engagement and avoid overwhelm.
