ADHD and your brain
Understanding ADHD across all ages
ADHD affects children, teens, and adults, influencing focus, impulse control, and emotional regulation. In today’s fast-paced, digital world, these challenges can be amplified. Excessive screen time, social media, and constant information overload can strain attention, disrupt sleep, and increase anxiety. Children and teens may experience school difficulties and social stress, while adults may struggle with work, relationships, and daily productivity.
Medication, overstimulation, and brain dysregulation
Common ADHD medications can help manage symptoms but often come with side effects, including appetite changes, sleep disruption, mood swings, and, in some cases, dependency or cardiac risks. At the same time, overstimulation from modern life—endless notifications, multitasking, and digital distractions—can dysregulate brain activity, making it harder to focus, regulate emotions, and maintain consistent performance.
