ADHD and Mood Disorders
ADHD and mood disorders frequently overlap. Someone living with undiagnosed ADHD may experience emotional dysregulation, frustration, and low self-esteem that can look very similar to a mood disorder — or exist alongside one. Furthermore, untreated ADHD can make it harder to benefit from mood disorder treatment alone.
Our practice offers ADHD testing as part of our holistic services. Getting clarity on what is actually driving your symptoms is a powerful step toward the right kind of support.
