“Unfortunately, like most people with ADHD (and many doctors who treat ADHD), I didn’t know that emotion dysregulation was part of the deal because the DSM doesn’t list it as part of the diagnostic criteria“

“This is the reason people with ADHD are often misdiagnosed with mood disorders, and why we don’t get the support we need even once we’re diagnosed correctly: we don’t know the extent to which our struggle with emotions isn’t normal. Emotions hit us harder and faster, and take us under, in ways most medical providers, teachers, and loved ones don’t understand.“
