Rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD) is an emotional experience that many people with ADHD report but it can often be overlooked by clinicians.
Dr. William Dodson describes ADHD as an intense reaction to rejection or criticism, sometimes leading to feelings of physical pain for the individual.
To avoid the pain of rejection, many individuals with ADHD become perfectionists and people-pleasers, setting high standards for themselves.
Recognizing RSD can help those with ADHD build self-knowledge and seek necessary support to manage their symptoms more effectively.
