Episode Description

Toxic relationships disproportionately impact individuals with ADHD. Adolescents with ADHD are at particularly high risk due to slow executive function development, low self-esteem, increased life stressors, and difficulties sustaining connections with others.

  • What makes a relationship toxic and why it is dangerous to teens’ wellbeing
  • How to help adolescents with ADHD identify signs of toxic relationships
  • Why teens with ADHD are more susceptible to toxic relationships
  • How to support adolescents through ending and recovering from a toxic relationship
