Infographic to help with Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria for those with ADHD.
Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) is a condition often associated with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) characterised by extreme emotional sensitivity and pain triggered by the perception that a person has been rejected or criticized by important people in their life. Individuals with ADHD may be more prone to RSD due to their heightened emotional responses and difficulties with executive function, which can make it harder to regulate emotions or to see situations in a less personal and more objective light. This can lead to rapid mood changes, anxiety, and even social withdrawal in an effort to avoid potential rejection. It's a significant issue because it can severely impact personal relationships, self-esteem, and overall mental health.
