Emotional dysregulation in ADHD is often worsened by co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, depression, or other mood disorders. The presence of these conditions can make emotional responses even more intense and harder to control.
Anxiety: Anxiety can amplify emotional responses, making a person with ADHD more likely to react to minor stressors with intense emotional outbursts or heightened sensitivity.
Depression: Feelings of sadness or hopelessness associated with depression can make emotional regulation even more difficult, potentially leading to emotional shutdowns or prolonged emotional distress.
