Understanding ADHD and the Impact of Masking
ADHD, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, is a neurodivergent condition that affects individuals in various ways. It is characterized by symptoms such as attention problems and hyperactivity. ADHD can manifest differently in men, women, and children, with girls often displaying inattention and concentration difficulties. Masking is a term used to describe the act of concealing one's true self and adapting to fit societal expectations. People with ADHD may mask their symptoms in order to fit in, but this can lead to exhaustion and challenges in relationships. However, there are strengths associated with ADHD, such as impulsivity, risk-taking, and a unique perspective on the world. Understanding the complexity of ADHD and embracing neurodivergent traits can lead to self-acceptance and personal growth.
