Surprising ADHD research finds greater life demands linked to reduced symptoms
www.psypost.org
Recent research found that ADHD often fluctuates, with most individuals experiencing alternating periods of remission and recurrence influenced by environmental demands, rather than following a static course of persistence or permanent remission. Recovery is rare, occurring in only 9.1%.

Curious to hear what others think, as this definitely aligns with my own experiences.

    surprising

    As a therapist with ADHD and lots of clients with ADHD, this is not a surprise to me at all, and I can’t imagine it’s a surprise to anyone else in the field (that would be surprising)

      Any suggestions on ways someone might use this theory to better manage their symptoms? How can I make myself feel more busy when life isn’t keeping me busy enough?

      I’ve tried asking my manager for more work, but they’ve instead shifted some of my work to other people. I’ve been considering looking for a second job, but I’m afraid that will swing things too far to the other side.
