I personally do not find ‘labels’ healthy or often acurate because we are all unique, our stories are unique and how we respond or react to life completely reliant on our perception on life at the time and epigenetics is now showing us nothing is set in stone until we decide it is .. that said sometimes a label helps us be kinder to ourselves whilst we work out how to respond to life and how to do so with less judgemement and more compassion. A really helpful article on why ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, can create many obstacles for adults. Specifically, adults with ADHD can have many issues when it comes to handling money.
ADHD and money don’t always mix
In the brain, the prefrontal cortex controls a person’s executive functioning. Executive functioning is a set of skills that one uses to manage oneself and includes processes such as planning, organizingand learning from consequences, all of which are skills needed to manage money. Impulsivity and self-regulation are also controlled by this area of the brain.
All of these pieces can negatively affect one’s finances if not managed in the right way. Adults with ADHD that have issues with money will find that these situations can be emotionally draining and can strain relationships. Money mismanagement can lead to large amounts of stress for these individuals.
