Deep dives

Starting the Journey of Self-Discovery

When receiving an ADHD diagnosis later in life, it is crucial to seek support from others who understand the condition. Engaging in education about ADHD is the first step towards self-discovery, as it helps individuals break new ground and validate their experiences. Trying medication is also an important option, as it can significantly improve focus and managing symptoms, similar to how eyeglasses help those who are nearsighted. The journey should not be undertaken alone; finding a supportive coach or therapist can provide essential guidance during this transformative process.
