According to CHADD, some struggles that come from growing up with ADHD are having a negative self-image or self-worth. Experts at Mayo Clinic share, “When you have healthy self-esteem you may feel good about yourself and see yourself as deserving respect of others. When you have low self-esteem, you put little value on your opinions and ideas. You might constantly worry that you aren’t good enough.” Adults with ADHD tend to be hypercritical of themselves, which is usually partially due to difficulties with concentrating that leads to negative work outcomes or relationships. They also tend to see themselves as failures or underachievers.
