This week we're talking about Seasonal depression (Seasonal Affective Disorder)and how it can impact a person with ADHD. Research has shown that people with ADHD are more prone to having seasonal depression, so if you are feeling low in mood during the winter months and you have ADHD, this could be the reason why! Seasonal changes can potentially exacerbate symptoms of ADHD in people who have both conditions, as reduced exposure to natural light can affect mood and energy levels, making it more challenging for individuals with ADHD to manage their symptoms effectively during the winter months. Stick around till the end to hear some of Sparky's tips for managing seasonal depression. Hopefully they can help you this year to get through those winter blues!

It's been a very emotional and intense time for Shell recently as she discusses what the past few weeks has been like emotionally for her and how she's been coping. This week we do cover some sensitive subjects so we encourage you to reach out for help and support if you are affected by any of this weeks discussion. One of the common symptoms of ADHD is emotional dysregulation, which refers to difficulties in managing and controlling emotions effectively. Individuals with ADHD may experience heightened emotional reactions, difficulty in self-regulating emotions, and a tendency to have intense emotional responses or sometimes no response at all due to overwhelm and shut down. We also discuss some coping stratergies that can help you manage emotional regulation.

Shell has been consistency going to the gym now for a number of months, so we thought we'd both sit down and unpick how in the world someone who hates exercise as much as Shell has has managed to keep this consistency going for so long, even with ADHD! It's not uncommon for individuals with ADHD to have difficulty with exercise or to feel a dislike towards it. This can be due to several factors, including challenges with motivation, difficulty sustaining interest, and a tendency to get easily bored. However, it's important to remember that exercise can have significant benefits for managing ADHD symptoms. We talk about the positive benefits of exercise, if you have ADHD. Engaging in regular physical activity can positively impact both your physical and mental well-being. It's no secret that the both us highly dislike exercise, so we give you some top tips that have helped us to try and enjoy exercising, so hopefully they can work for you too!
