Many adults who have ADHD blame themselves for the condition, which can lead to embarrassment, low confidence, and self-esteem. However, it’s important to understand that ADHD is not anyone’s fault. ADHD is a neuropyschiatric condition with biological origins, and does not reflect any failings or shortcomings of those with the condition.
