For November's Wellness Wednesday, we want to look ahead to celebrating World Kindness Day on Nov. 13th. With so much going on in the world, we need to be treating each other with kindness more than ever. Not only does it make the person on the receiving end feel good; it makes you feel good too. So on Nov. 13th (or everyday!) see how you can perform random acts of kindness, such as buying coffee for the person behind you or leaving a positive note for someone. Other ideas include volunteering, donating to a charity, making a heartfelt phone call to a loved one, or simply spreading positivity online and in your community. Take care of yourselves and each other! 🥰

ADHD in adult women

Does it seem like more adult women than ever are being diagnosed with ADHD? There’s a reason why.

Recent research shows these diagnoses are rising—not because the disorder is new, but because studies and surveys are finally highlighting how ADHD presents in women. Factors include subtle symptoms, decades of underdiagnosis, and social “masking,” while telehealth and awareness campaigns have made it easier for women to seek evaluation.
