ADDitude asked, “How does therapy improve your outlook and ADHD symptoms?” Here’s what you had to say:
Therapy... “Helps Me Feel ‘Normal’”
“Weekly sessions affirmed that I was a good person who had a problem, not a scatterbrained oaf.” -Joseph McAllister, Washington
“Putting a label on my symptoms made me feel more ‘normal’ for the first time in my life, if that makes any sense. Before being diagnosed, I felt that I was lazy, disorganized, spacey, and downright stupid. After I began treatment, I understood that I could take control of my symptoms. It made a big difference in my perspective.” -D., Texas
