Deep dives

ADHD individuals are more prone to burnout

People with ADHD are more susceptible to burnout due to their tendencies towards hyperfocus, setting unrealistic boundaries, and ignoring bodily signals. ADHD individuals often have a full-ass or no-ass approach to tasks and struggle to pace themselves. This enthusiastic and vibrant way of going about life can lead to a constant state of stimulation, similar to a manic episode. Despite being aware of their tendencies, individuals with ADHD may still find themselves engaging in behaviors that contribute to burnout.
