For people with RSD, the experiences of rejection, criticism, and failure are unusually severe. Small, relatively insignificant setbacks can provoke outsized responses, leading people to feel intense emotions of self-consciousness, unworthiness, and hurt.

But you can reduce the effect that rejection has on your ADHD brain with the right strategies. Understanding Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria shows you how.

Inside this 120-page eBook, caregivers will learn how to teach and model emotional regulation skills. Children and adults with RSD will find actionable tips for listening to their bodies, identifying and managing RSD triggers, recognizing unhealthy relationships, and reducing their emotional vulnerability to ultimately end RSD’s dominance over their emotional health.

6-PART GUIDE TO MANAGING REJECTION SENSITIVE DYSPHORIA IN CHILDREN AND ADULTS WITH ADHD

Understanding Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria: RSD Is a Powerful and Common Manifestation of Emotional Dysregulation Seen with ADHD contains expert advice and resources spanning the following topics:

CHAPTER 1: THE IMPACT OF REJECTION SENSITIVE DYSPHORIA AND EMOTIONAL DYSREGULATION ON ADHD BRAINS

• RSD is one of the most common and disruptive manifestations of emotional dysregulation associated with ADHD, however, it is not included in the diagnostic criteria for ADHD because it is almost always present and cannot be measured.
• RSD is often misdiagnosed as a mood disorder.
• RSD can affect normal development and alter brain chemistry by increasing the release of adrenaline and cortisol.

CHAPTER 2: WHAT LIVING WITH RSD FEELS LIKE

• Rejection sensitivity is worse for girls and women with ADHD, who are often primed to expect criticism, feel like impostors, and internalize negative messages.
• Many people try to overcome RSD by discounting their emotions or avoiding situations where any semblance of criticism could occur.
• A multimodal treatment plan including ADHD medication and behavior therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), has proven to help people understand how situations and thought patterns affect their emotions.

CHAPTER 3: MANAGING REJECTION SENSITIVITY IN CHILDREN AND TEENS WITH ADHD

• Emotional dysregulation can play a destabilizing role as teens begin to explore romantic relationships and physical intimacy, putting them at future risk for adverse relationship outcomes.
• Throughout the menstrual cycle, the rise and fall of estrogen may affect your child’s individual symptoms, behaviors, mood, functioning, and even medication efficacy.
• When it comes to calming an emotionally dysregulated child, the best strategies are proactive and positive.

CHAPTER 4: STRATEGIES FOR SILENCING YOUR INNER CRITIC AND CALMING AND BIG EMOTIONS

• Research shows that body awareness helps people with RSD identify unhealthy feelings and step off the emotional merry-go-round.
• All self-sabotaging behavior is rooted in self-preservation. We engage in self-defeating behaviors to protect ourselves and our egos and to feel safe.
• To break the cycle of self-sabotage, you must approach your challenges with the sense that you can understand, overcome, and even grow from them.

CHAPTER 5: HOW TO STOP RSD FROM JEOPARDIZING YOUR RELATIONSHIPS

• Social anxiety is associated with a distinct fear of potential, devastating scrutiny, rejection, and judgment from others in one or more social situations.
• Adults with RSD are more vulnerable to toxic friendships, partly due to their people-pleasing tendencies and lack of confidence and self-esteem.
• ADHD emotionality makes people more likely to overreact in ways that can be damage relationships friends, coworkers, family, and romantic partners.

If so, you may have an executive function deficit — a hallmark trait of ADHD.

Executive function refers to the cognitive or mental abilities we need to actively pursue our goals and manage everyday life. It’s not that individuals with ADHD have fewer or less effective executive functions. The problem is that executive functioning is applied inconsistently. This occurs when we hyperfocus on interesting tasks but find it painful to focus on what we find boring.

What’s unclear: Why this is happening and how to cope with it.

What does the science say — and what is unknown — about the impact of hormonal fluctuations on ADHD symptoms? Are treatments and interventions available to help manage symptoms during each hormonal phase? Hormones and ADHD answers those questions and more in its 190 pages.

7-PART GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING HOW HORMONAL CHANGES EXACERBATE ADHD SYMPTOMS ACROSS THE LIFESPAN

Hormones and ADHD contains expert advice and resources spanning the following topics:

CHAPTER 1: THE URGENT NEED FOR RESEARCH ON HORMONES AND ADHD

• We know that hormones collide with ADHD to cause heightened mood dysregulation, memory problems, and impulsivity each month, but we don’t know how hormonal transitions over a lifetime impact ADHD symptoms, comorbid conditions, and treatment outcomes.
• There is little to no research on menopause and ADHD, specifically, but plenty of anecdotal evidence supports a link between the two.
• There is virtually no reliable science regarding the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for perimenopausal or postmenopausal women.

CHAPTER 2: HOW THE MENSTRUAL CYCLE COMPLICATES ADHD DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT

• Fluctuating hormonal levels through the monthly cycle may impact symptom severity, mood, functioning, and even medication efficacy.
• Understanding the impact of emotional dysregulation as it ebbs and flows during the menstrual cycle is the first step to safeguarding the mental health of teen girls with ADHD.
• Research shows that women with ADHD may experience more severe symptoms of hormone-related mood disorders, such as premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and premenstrual syndrome (PMS), than women without ADHD.

CHAPTER 3: HOW HORMONES IMPACT ADHD SYMPTOMS IN BOYS AND MEN

• There is no conclusive evidence that an individual’s testosterone level influences the likelihood of developing ADHD.
• Testosterone levels remain relatively stable until midlife, when they begin to decline gradually, approximately 1 percent per year.
• Fluctuating testosterone levels during puberty are associated with greater risk-taking behavior among boys.

CHAPTER 4: HOW PUBERTY EXACERBATES ADHD SYMPTOMS IN TEENS

• As puberty invariably influences ADHD symptoms, some teens may require treatment with medication for the first time, while others may benefit from adjustments.
• Teens with ADHD are at a higher risk for car accidents and moving violations, unwanted teen pregnancy, substance and alcohol use disorder, and self-harm.
• Brain development in the frontal lobe—the region involved in executive function skills, such as problem-solving, conflict resolution, planning, and impulse control—is often delayed 2 to 3 years in teens with ADHD.

CHAPTER 5: ADHD TREATMENT DURING AND AFTER PREGNANCY

• No clear-cut studies exist regarding the safety of stimulant medication use while pregnant.
• Women with ADHD are six times more likely than neurotypical mothers to experience postpartum anxiety, and five times more likely to experience postpartum depression (PPD).
• Frequent screenings are the most powerful tool for early detection of PPD and other postpartum mood disorders.

CHAPTER 6: ADHD IN MIDLIFE

• It is not uncommon for women with ADHD to be misdiagnosed or undiagnosed during perimenopause and menopause.
• ADHD medications may improve memory, focus, and organization in menopausal women.
• Women with ADHD may face an even greater risk for cardiovascular disease during perimenopause than their non-ADHD peers.

CHAPTER 7: COMMUNITY VOICES + ADDITIONAL RESOURCES

• The underdiagnosis of ADHD in adult women and the lack of awareness that they may need different treatment approaches are ongoing medical equity issues with serious consequences.
• Children and teens going through puberty benefit from set expectations, routines, and sleep.
• ADHD is still primarily viewed as a predominantly male disorder, leading to gender gaps in diagnosis, treatment options, and research.

The strain of dealing with an oppositional child affects the entire family. A Parent’s Guide to Understanding (and Outsmarting) ODD aims to help.

Inside its 270+ pages, caregivers will learn how to distinguish ODD from other disruptive behavior disorders, evaluate behavioral parent training programs, and implement effective strategies to reduce defiant and hostile behaviors in their children.

10-PART GUIDE TO DISMANTLING OPPOSITIONAL BEHAVIORS IN CHILDREN WITH ADHD

A Parent’s Guide to Understanding (and Outsmarting) ODD: Strategies for Navigating Your Child’s Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Emotional Dysregulation, and Discipline Challenges contains expert advice and resources spanning the following topics:

CHAPTER 1: WHAT IS OPPOSITIONAL DEFIANT DISORDER?

• The ODD diagnosis does not describe a specific neurological condition but a behavior pattern that persists over time.
• The exact cause of ODD is unknown, though many professionals cite a combination of psychological, social, and biological factors.
• Boys with ODD tend to be more physically aggressive and experience explosive anger, while girls are more likely to lie, refuse to cooperate, and express symptoms indirectly.

CHAPTER 2: THE EMOTIONAL DYSREGULATION UNDERLYING YOUR CHILD’S BEHAVIOR

• Anger issues stemming from emotional dysregulation—while notably missing from diagnostic criteria for ADHD—are a fundamental part of the ADHD experience for most people.
• About 80 percent of children with ADHD report problems with emotional dysregulation.
• ADHD symptoms fluctuate over time, which may mean that emotional dysregulation also changes in severity or degree of impairment.

CHAPTER 3: HOW TO USE POSITIVE PARENTING STRATEGIES

• The language you use to describe your child’s behavior matters because it frames your mindset about your child.
• Validating your child’s feelings helps them feel understood, builds connection, and takes the edge off tense situations.
• Building your child’s social-emotional awareness helps them accurately label their feelings and the emotions they observe in others.

CHAPTER 4: BETTER WAYS TO ADDRESS BEHAVIOR CHALLENGES

• Discipline is preferred over punishment because it teaches the child how to behave, while punishment uses fear and shame to force the child to behave.
• By rewarding positive behavior (rather than punishing negative behavior), you help your child feel successful—and further increase their motivation to do the right thing.
• Teaming up with your child to problem-solve various negative behaviors creates a climate where your child feels loved and supported.

CHAPTER 5: STRATEGIES TO HELP AN EMOTIONALLY DYSREGULATED CHILD

• Even if your dysregulated child builds walls to keep you out, you can help turn things around by recognizing how stress uniquely affects them, de-escalating their worries and intense emotions, and connecting with them in productive, healthy ways.
• Interacting in a calm, firm, non-controlling way may help you bypass emotional reactivity. li>
• Your child isn’t seeking to upset or disrespect you deliberately. Remember that emotional dysregulation is real.

CHAPTER 6: HOW TO DISARM YOUR CHILD’S EXPLOSIVE EMOTIONS

• All children want to do well, and they will if possible. If they aren’t doing well, then something must be getting in the way.
• Strategies to defuse explosive reactions work best when there’s a culture of respect and communication at home.
• Even with all the coping tools in the world, it’s unrealistic to expect that your child will never have another outburst. However, it is realistic to hope for their responses to improve and for explosive reactions to become less frequent, less disruptive, and easier to manage.

CHAPTER 7: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BEHAVIORAL PARENT TRAINING (BPT)

• While medication works on a neurological level to regulate the brain, behavioral therapy addresses specific problem behaviors by structuring time at home, establishing predictability and routines, and increasing positive attention.
• Though it’s never too late for a child to benefit from behavior therapy, evidence suggests that it works best when started early in the child’s life.
• BPT’s efficacy hinges on the severity of the child’s symptoms, your commitment to the training, and the consistency with which the rules and skills learned are implemented at home and in school.

CHAPTER 8: CONDUCT DISORDER, DMDD, AND MORE CONDITIONS RELATED TO ODD

• ODD behaviors that become frequent and severe may indicate an emerging disruptive behavior disorder like conduct disorder (CD), disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD), or intermittent explosive disorder (IED).
• Roughly half of all children with ADHD will also develop ODD or CD. The prevalence of co-occurring CD increases with age, and the disorder may affect as many as 50 percent of teens with ADHD. Likewise, about 60 percent of teens with CD also have co-occurring ADHD.
• Pathological demand avoidance (PDA) is not a standalone diagnosis in the U.S., but it falls under the umbrella of the autism spectrum diagnoses and is seen most often in people with autism, ADHD, and high anxiety.

CHAPTER 9: WHEN BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS SHOW UP AT SCHOOL

• Implementing effective behavior management strategies—clear expectations, positive incentives, and predictable consequences—can help defiant students learn how to self-regulate and curb disruptive behaviors.
• When school administrators can’t figure out the trigger for inappropriate behavior, a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) and a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) can clearly define problem behaviors in the classroom and provide strategies for fixing them.
• When teachers deny recess for poor classroom behavior, they hurt not only their students with ADHD but the whole classroom.

CHAPTER 10: PARENTING Q&As + ADDITIONAL RESOURCES

• Parents often find that modeling positive behaviors can help their child rediscover the polite person they once were or were with others.
• It will take time to change a toxic dynamic that has long been reinforced. Be prepared to see an uptick in defiant behaviors from your child as you work toward change.
• Providing positive feedback for the effort children are making to build trust is an effective motivator for good behavior.

9-PART GUIDE TO ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES TO ADHD

Complementary Approaches for Managing ADHD details expert advice and resources spanning the following topics:

CHAPTER 1: THE ADHD TREATMENT LANDSCAPE TODAY

• Epigenetic research suggests that modifications in nutrition, sleep, and exercise can positively impact symptoms of ADHD.
• Many complementary approaches address ADHD’s secondary issues, such as stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and emotional dysregulation.
• Integrative medicine considers the whole person and devises a patient’s care plan comprising conventional treatments and complementary therapies.

CHAPTER 2: 10 THERAPIES FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN WITH ADHD

• Therapies for ADHD encompass a range of approaches from skills training to talk therapy and creating art to working with horses.
• ADHD medication paired with behavioral training is the most effective treatment for ADHD in children, especially those who also exhibit oppositional behavior.
• Finding the right therapy requires self-reflection, research, and a discussion with your treatment team.

CHAPTER 3: HOW EXERCISE AND GREEN TIME AFFECT ADHD SYMPTOMS

• Strong evidence shows that physical activity promotes brain growth, improves brain efficiency, and strengthens learning abilities.
• Time spent outside in natural settings reduces inattentiveness in children.
• Identifying goals, recruiting an accountability partner, varying activities, and scheduling workouts are some ways to incorporate exercise into daily routines.

CHAPTER 4: THE ROLE OF NUTRITION IN THE ADHD BRAIN

• Unhealthy eating patterns are often the byproducts of ADHD symptoms like impulsivity and inattention.
• Diets rich in fruits, vegetables, complex carbohydrates, and lean proteins benefit ADHD brains.
• Studies suggest that children with ADHD are adversely affected by food additives, artificial food coloring, and flavors,

CHAPTER 5: VITAMINS AND SUPPLEMENTS THAT SUPPORT BRAIN HEALTH

• Supplements and vitamins are not meant to replace medication and behavioral therapy.
• Studies suggest that people with ADHD have low levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which are believed to be important in the body’s production of the neurotransmitter dopamine.
• The best time to take a melatonin supplement is 90 to 120 minutes before bedtime; any later may lead to delayed sleep and difficulties waking up in the morning.

CHAPTER 6: CALMING ADHD BRAINS WITH MINDFULNESS AND SOMATIC THERAPY

• Mindfulness trains the brain to be less reactive, more observant, and more self-aware.
• Mindfulness techniques can enhance social skills, improve focus, and promote emotional regulation in children at home and at school.
• Many people associate meditation with a “spiritual lifestyle;” however, mindfulness is not a spiritual practice, but a type of meditation.

CHAPTER 7: WHAT IS ADHD COACHING, AND HOW DO YOU FIND A COACH?

• ADHD coaches are trained professionals who help individuals with ADHD develop strategies and skills to manage their symptoms, but they are not therapists or medical experts.
• No regulating body currently certifies ADHD coaches; several institutions have established robust criteria to be an ADHD coach.
• Age is not a criterion for coaching—ADHD coaches can work with individuals of all ages, including children, teens, adults, and older adults.

CHAPTER 8: BRAIN TRAINING AND NEUROFEEDBACK: WHAT THE SCIENCE SAYS

• Brain training refers to a range of programs, tools, and exercises meant to strengthen the brain by changing its structure, altering brain waves, or improving specific brain-based skills.
• Neurofeedback is a type of biofeedback that uses EEG to help patients train their brains to improve focus, impulsivity, and executive functions.
• According to research, neurofeedback and brain training are not effective standalone treatments for ADHD.

CHAPTER 9: ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES NOT BACKED BY SCIENCE

• Alternative approaches, such as lion’s mane mushroom, kava, caffeine, and homeopathy, are not recommended to treat ADHD.
• Anecdotal evidence suggests that cannabidiol (CBD) oil may help reduce symptoms, but no large studies recommend CBD oil for ADHD.
• Small studies link turmeric and curcumin, hypnotherapy, and EFT tapping to positive outcomes for individuals with ADHD; however, robust clinical trials remain sparse.
