Looking Beyond Black and White Thinking

Black and white thinking, also known as dichotomous thinking, is a cognitive distortion that involves viewing the world in extremes – things are either right or wrong, good or bad, with no room for shades of gray. This type of thinking can have a profound impact on individuals with ADHD. It can contribute to feelings of self-doubt, perfectionism, and an all-or-nothing approach to tasks and goals. Black-and-white thinking can lead to a cycle of frustration and disappointment when expectations are not met, or mistakes are made.

Is ADHD an Excuse or a Reason?

Understanding the nature and symptoms of ADHD is crucial in order to address the ongoing debate about whether it is an excuse or a reason for certain behaviors. ADHD is not a lack of discipline or willpower, but rather a neurological condition that affects cognitive function.

‘Why can’t I sleep?!’

A good night’s rest does more than energize you—sleep can affect your mood, keep your heart healthy, and help you feel better when you’re sick. About 1 in 3 adults in the United States say they don’t get enough sleep.

Embracing Failure as a Learning Opportunity When You Have ADHD

Living with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can present unique challenges in various aspects of life, including academics, work, and relationships. ADHD affects individuals differently but often leads to difficulty focusing, organizing, and managing time effectively. These challenges can sometimes result in setbacks and failures, discouraging and overwhelming individuals. However, it is important to remember that failure does not define one’s potential for success. By understanding ADHD and its challenges, individuals can develop strategies to overcome obstacles and thrive.
