ADHD can affect more than attention. Many people experience emotions that rise quickly, linger longer than expected, or make small problems feel suddenly urgent.
Practical ideas
- Name the emotion before trying to solve the problem.
- Use physical regulation, such as walking or paced breathing.
- Delay important replies when emotions are running high.
- Build routines that reduce avoidable stress before it peaks.
