Self-care is important to our overall health. Unfortunately, in today’s fast-paced world, many people do not make time for sufficient self-care. Dealing with a loved one with ADHD is often a trying and exhausting process. Proper self-care gives you time to relax, rejuvenate, reflect and refresh yourself so you are better prepared physically, emotionally and spiritually to handle whatever lies ahead. Self-care can include just about anything that is fulfilling to you such as reading a book, taking a long bath, going to dinner with a friend, watching a movie and even seeking support through individual therapy and/or group therapy.
