Emotional dysregulation is a pervasive and at times paralyzing experience for many people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD or ADD). Despite exclusion from diagnostic criterion, experiences of emotional dysregulation – outsized anger, irritability, shifts in mood, intense feelings, sensitivity, and more – are common and frequently very troubling components of the ADHD experience.
