ADHD Brain: Unraveling Secrets of Your Nervous System Attention deficit disorder (ADHD or ADD) is a confusing, contradictory, inconsistent, and frustrating condition. It is overwhelming to people who live with it every day. The diagnostic criteria that have been used for the last 40 years leave many people wondering whether they have the condition or not.

The Joy of Quitting It’s my favorite four-letter word: quit. I quit law school because I didn’t want to commit my precious life to fighting other people’s wars in musty courtrooms. I quit a relationship after my partner disrespected my boundaries and cheated on me. And I quit living in England because I didn’t care for what then seemed to be a national attitude of cynicism and small-time thinking. I had a 20-year career on radio and TV, working for the BBC, CNN, and NPR. At one point, I had my own show on the Travel Channel. That’s when I knew: I needed an urgent course correction before it was too late. Oddly, in our society we look on quitting as a bad thing—a sign of laziness or a weak nature. Your calling is the voice of divine intelligence. Divine intelligence is constantly inviting you to let go and trust, to be bold enough to jettison what isn’t working and clear away the deadwood that no longer serves you. So here in a nutshell are my rules for living a life inspired by grace rather than ego.

How Mental Health Stigma Keeps People From Asking for Help This piece was originally published on Broadly. When I’m feeling so low that I cancel plans with people I love in order to binge-eat noodles with my hands, I feel like a jerk, and I definitely don’t want to talk about it. Symptoms of mental illness, including a lethargy so debilitating I can’t bring myself to grab a fork from the kitchen, can feel like personal failings. For me, it’s the sign of a mood disorder, and I’m not alone: According to the National Institute of Mental Health, as of 2015 about 18 percent of Americans suffer from some form of mental illness, but few seek treatment. People feel shame about their psychiatric disorders, in part, because they’re exhibiting symptoms that are generally considered “bad,” like sadness, inattentiveness, and irritability. “These are medical conditions that affect the very fabric of who we are: how we think, how we feel,” said Carol Bernstein, associate professor of psychiatry and neurology at the NYU School of Medicine. Dr.

Get Rid of ADHD Anxiety with These Tips Many clients who come to me are in transition or are in the process of doing something quite new, and they bring along their various worries. The old “Not to worry…things will be just fine” doesn’t cut it. They need more than my reassurance that hard work and patience will pay off, and that their negative thinking is not necessary. It’s comforting for them to hear that 95% of what we worry about never comes to fruition, but that’s not quite enough. Some still leave with nagging thoughts that are distracting, as well as limiting to their efforts to move forward. As an ADHD coach, I want proactive, positive suggestions to give my clients, and I found them in Dr. Surprisingly, the book also describes how worry is beneficial.
