Framing ADHD as a strength can lead to better mental health

New research suggests that recognizing ADHD-related strengths like creativity and hyperfocus may improve mental health and well-being.

However, there is a growing body of evidence that suggests that ADHD also has an upside. And, according to a new study, being aware of these positives may create some mental health perks.
