The most basic way to define Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is as a neurological condition causing symptoms of inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness. But it isn’t a basic condition.

A common symptom of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is experiencing deep emotional reactions such as frustration, impatience and excitability. This can be difficult to handle for an ADHD brain. Someone may find themselves overdramatising situations as if they are of grave concern even when in fact, they can be resolved relatively easily and quickly. This is why people with ADHD have a tendency to exaggerate and catastrophize situations.

People with ADHD are prone to Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), which is triggered by the change in the season and reduced hours of daylight over the autumn and winter. Here are eight suggestions to keep you going throughout the winter and beat the ADHD winter blues.
