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.

“Your habit of blaming yourself may not change overnight, but in time through education, coaching and therapy, you will realize that ADHD is not your fault!”
