ADHD isn’t always what it seems. Often, it’s misunderstood: not just about hyperactivity or distraction.
Myth: "ADHD is just an excuse for bad behavior."
Fact: ADHD is a real condition that affects focus, organization, and emotions. It’s not laziness or undiscipline.
Myth: "ADHD only happens in kids."
Fact: Adults have ADHD too! The challenges: attention, impulsivity, organization: may change but never disappear.
Myth: "People with ADHD just need to try harder."
Fact: It’s not solved by willpower: what helps is support, understanding, and in some cases, treatment.
Compassion matters more than assumptions. If you or someone you care about feels misunderstood, Mentally Strong Mind and Body is here for you.
