ADHD in adults – why does a group work?
ADHD in adults is not just distractibility. It means putting important things off until the last minute, feeling overwhelmed by simple tasks, impulsive decisions, emotional ups and downs and – after years of being misunderstood – often shame and the belief “bright, but lazy” as well. More and more people, especially women, receive a diagnosis only in adulthood, and it makes them re-evaluate their whole lives.
The group combines psychoeducation (how the ADHD brain really works), training in specific strategies (planning, external memory, coping with procrastination and overstimulation, emotional regulation) and something no book can give you: contact with people who function in a similar way. For many participants it is the first place where they don’t feel “defective”.
The group is led by a psychologist specialising in adult ADHD. You don’t need a formal diagnosis to take part – we also welcome people who are in the process of being assessed. At our centre you can also have a full ADHD assessment (DIVA-5).
