Taming the Emotional Storms of ADHD with James Ochoa

I had to begin to view it as a chronic condition that wasn't going to go away, and I began to conceptualize it as the idea of an emotional distress syndrome, because it was something that wouldn't go away, and it was something that spun off of the diagnosis of ADHD as a result of the neurological and the behavioral challenges that come as a result of it.
Feeling like life's curveballs hit you harder than most? For those with ADHD, unexpected events can be more than just a bump in the road—they can feel like a full-blown storm. In this episode of 'ADHD Focus', Dr. David Pomeroy chats with James Ochoa, a Licensed Professional Counselor from Austin, TX, about what he calls Emotional Distress Syndrome. Ochoa believes this condition affects everyone with ADHD, turning minor disruptions into major emotional upheavals.
But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom. Ochoa shares practical tools and strategies to help manage these emotional whirlwinds and regain control. From understanding how Emotional Distress Syndrome manifests to developing your own coping mechanisms, this episode offers a deep dive into living more peacefully with ADHD. Whether you're struggling with ADHD yourself or supporting someone who is, you'll find valuable insights and actionable advice here. Tune in and take the first step towards taming those emotional storms.
