Deep dives
The Impact of Perfectionism on ADHD
Perfectionism can significantly hinder the progress of individuals with ADHD by fostering fear of judgment and reluctance to take action. Many people struggle with focusing on their shortcomings rather than appreciating their achievements, which undermines their confidence and emotional well-being. This mindset can lead to detrimental psychological effects, including increased feelings of inadequacy and even despair, as seen in some profiles of youth suicide. Recognizing this pattern is crucial for ADHD individuals to develop healthier perspectives on their progress and capabilities.
