Going back to even the change from add to adhd, why has that changed? We've put so much energy across the mental health field for people to recognize mental health as a health issue that we can't compartmentalize ourselves from our mental health, from our physical health, and that it's been for Many, Many Years, quite unfortunately, socially unacceptable.
Imagine trying to sit still and focus, but your mind keeps jumping from one thing to another. That's a glimpse into the world of a child with ADHD. In this episode of 'Life Unscripted', host Janice Arnoldi dives into the complexities of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, a condition affecting nearly 10% of children globally. She breaks down common misconceptions—like the idea that kids with ADHD are simply undisciplined or unmotivated—and sheds light on the real struggles they face daily.
Janice emphasizes that ADHD is a spectrum, meaning symptoms can vary widely from one child to another. Some kids might find it hard to concentrate, while others struggle with organizing their thoughts to complete simple tasks. This episode is a must-listen for parents who suspect their child might have ADHD or are already navigating the challenges it brings.
Janice offers practical advice on recognizing early signs and stresses the importance of understanding the emotional toll ADHD can take on a child's mental health. She also touches on how the pandemic has added new layers of difficulty, especially in social settings. But it's not all doom and gloom; Janice shares how treatment options have evolved and what the future might hold for ADHD management.
Whether you're a parent, teacher, or just someone wanting to learn more, this episode offers valuable insights and compassionate advice to help children with ADHD thrive.
