An ADHD Guide to Emotional Dysregulation and Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (w/ William Dodson, M.D.)

People with ADHD feel emotions more intensely, more frequently, and more suddenly. In fact, one third of adults with ADHD say emotional dysregulation is the most impairing aspect of their ADHD, adversely affecting work performance and personal relationships.

Among the biggest emotional challenges facing adults with ADHD is rejection sensitive dysphoria, an extreme sensitivity to criticism and judgment that seems to exist only in those diagnosed with the disorder. In this hour-long webinar replay, learn about emotional dysregulation and rejection sensitive dysphoria with William Dodson, M.D.
