Challenges with Memory

People with ADHD often struggle with memory, and sometimes it is due to their inability to retrieve information. However, the real issue is that the memory never registered in the first place. This happens when their minds are elsewhere or when they are multitasking. Switching back and forth between tasks prevents memories from being properly encoded. One way to address this is by practicing mindfulness and being fully present in the moment.
