ADHD and emotional regulation: navigating mood swings and impulsivity

ADHD, meaning attention-deficit and hyperactivity disorder, is a neurodivergent condition with many characteristics that can prevent a person from engaging appropriately with tasks and other people. In the same way that ADHD makes it difficult to stay focused on one task and energy levels, the emotions may be similarly turbulent and hard to keep in check.

How does a psychiatrist help with dementia?
