π» ADHD and Alcohol: An Important Analysis π«₯
According to a study conducted by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, individuals with ADHD are at a higher risk of developing alcohol-related problems π€―
In fact, 40% of adults with ADHD are at risk of developing an alcohol use disorder, compared to 25% of the general population π
π€ Why this correlation?
There are several theories as to why individuals with ADHD may be more prone to problematic alcohol use...
Some suggest it may be due to seeking a form of self-treatment for ADHD symptoms like anxiety and stress π₯
Others hypothesize it may be linked to the tendency of individuals with ADHD to seek out stimulation and intense experiences π’

Happy Sunday everyone! π
"Do things at your own pace. Life is not a race!" π
These words are a precious reminder to embrace our unique journey, without comparing it to others π
For people with ADHD, this message is particularly significant... In a world that always seems to be in a rush, it's important to remember to value our own time and pace. Every step forward, big or small, is progress worth celebrating π₯³
So, today, give yourself permission to slow down, to take a deep breath, and to appreciate the present moment... Do what makes you feel good, following your own rhythm and listening to your needs π
I wish you all a relaxing Sunday filled with joy! Always remember to be kind to yourself and to celebrate your unique journey π€π
I confess: House cleaning and ADHD aren't exactly the dynamic duo people would expect! π
π§Ή
But after some experimentation (and quite a bit of practice!), you can master our simple strategies to make your chores at home more bearable! π§Όπͺ£
π‘Before starting to clean, take some time to plan which tasks need to be completed and how much time should be allocated to each. Use a checklist or time management app to keep track of tasks and estimated times. This will help you avoid wasting time and maintain a clear view of the work to be done...
π‘Break down cleaning into smaller, manageable tasks: For example, dedicate 15 minutes at a time to a specific room or chore. This makes tasks more manageable and reduces the feeling of overwhelm...
π‘Use visual reminders or notes posted around the house to help you remember which tasks need to be completed and in which areas of the house they need to be done. These tools can help maintain focus and follow your cleaning plan...
π‘Listening to music or an audiobook while cleaning can make the activity more enjoyable and engaging, helping you to maintain motivation. Choose energizing music or something you enjoy listening to keep interest and enthusiasm...
π‘Set timers to track time during cleaning. Assign a reasonable time limit to each task and use alarms to alert you when it's time to move on to the next task. This can help maintain pace and avoid spending too much time on individual tasks...
π‘Establish a reward system for yourself or your family that provides an incentive to complete cleaning tasks. For example, you can reward yourself with a break, small treat or a brief leisure moment (after completing a specific task! π
)...
By following these practical tips, all ADHDers can overcome challenges in household cleaning and maintain a tidier, more organized home environment π§΄π€©

Dear Parents,

ADHDers usually get excited when starting a new Fitness routine ππ»ββοΈ but if it's too "rigid", it can get boring quickly and soooooo we lose interest π₯±
We all know exercise does good for our health, but for people with ADHD the best strategy is to focus on physical activities that provide all the benefits of excercising (in an alternative wayπ), such as
β
Dopamine release
β
Regulation of the nervous system
β
Improvement of executive functions...
There's no need to lift weights or go to the gym when you can get the same positive results just by
π walking your dog
ππ» dancing in your kitchen
π§π»ββοΈ meditating
ππ» stretching
π¨π»βπ§ practicing functional fitness (according to your lifestyle and work!)
Find a way to do "excercises" that fit YOUR way of life! Make physical activity a habit to feel more energetic, focused, and confident in managing ADHD! ππͺπ»
ADHD is one of the most common neurobehavioral disorders of childhood π§π½π¦π»
An estimated 5,9 - 7,1 % of children (ages 2 to 17) have been diagnosed with ADHD in the World πΊοΈ
On the other hand, the main symptons associated to ADHD can easily pass unnoticed when a child is labeled as "vivacious" at school π₯²
β Lack of attention
β Difficulty to maintain concentration
β Unable to sit still for long periods of time
β Impulsive reactions
β Difficulty relating to peers
β Struggling to control emotions
Raising awareness of ADHD helps create welcoming and accessible schools, it ensures that it's properly treated, reduces the social impact of the condition, and may ENCOURAGE people with symptoms of ADHD to seek a diagnosis π€²πΌπ
