People with ADHD are at increased risk of developing addictions, such as substance abuse, pathological gambling, or technology addiction. Impulsivity and the search for immediate gratification, typical of ADHD, can push people with ADHD towards risky behaviors, while substance use or compulsive behaviors become an attempt to self-manage symptoms. Furthermore, difficulties in impulse control and emotion regulation make it more difficult for these people to avoid or manage addictions. An integrated approach to the treatment of ADHD is essential, which includes not only pharmacological management, but also psychological support and behavioral strategies. Preventing and treating addictions in people with ADHD requires specific attention and targeted interventions, to improve the quality of life and reduce the associated risks. Today we discuss this with Valerio Rosso, a neuroscience specialist and science communicator (http://www.lifeology.it), Giancarlo Giupponi, a psychiatrist, Agnese Raponi, a psychologist at GAM Medical. #adhd #neurodivergent #diagnosiadhd ▶ Do you think you are ADHD?
