In this time of the year, everybody has ADHD.

I'm calling this article out for its causal tone, as it could lead to people self-diagnosing with ADHD solely due to this so-called "little-known ADHD trait."

Tip #07: Too much of something is never a good idea, especially when it comes to JARGON.

Tip #03: When the clinician keeps steering towards themselves — Who is the therapy actually for?

Red flag:
Your therapy sessions feel more like a monologue about the clinician's life.

ADHD diagnosis cannot be reduced to a simple checklist of self-perceived symptoms.

To truly support our clients, we must take a holistic approach and consider their unique circumstances.

"Dear Mr. Ivan, thank you and I appreciate you."

This is a sweet, sweet note I've received from one of my clients.

If you could pass on a message to a parent whose child is struggling to open up about their mental health, what would you say? Someone may really need to hear your advice.

[Ivan Lee - Clinical Psychologist @ivanleemh]

Improving mental health support alone isn't enough. We need to address the issues in society that make young people's mental health worse.

In my recent accident, I realized that we are not as important as we think.

Although, we may not be important to the world, but we hold the power to define our own worth
