The emotion commotion of ADHD can hurt self-esteem, relationships, and just about everything else in life. Here’s what you should know to control it.

(3) Disapproval from Others.

The emotional response to failure is catastrophic for those with the condition. Perceived criticism and withdrawal of love and respect is just as devastating as the real thing. The term “dysphoria” means “difficult to bear,” and most people with ADHD report that they “can hardly stand it.”  ADHDers are not wimps; disapproval hurts them much more than it hurts neurotypical people.

專注力不足過度活躍人士的情緒動蕩問題不但損害個人自尊和人際關係，更令生活中差不多每樣事物都受到影響。了解多一些問題的癥結所在，有助更好地控制情緒。

(3) 不被認同.

ADHD患者面對失敗時的情緒反應非常激烈。當以爲自己受到批評、不被愛及尊重時，他們感到的傷害與真正受到批評、不被愛及尊重時造成的傷害一樣大。Dysphoria的原意是「難以忍受」，大多患ADHD的人對於不被認同都「受不了」。ADHD患者不是懦弱的人，但不被認同對他們造成的傷害比對一般人要大。
