October is ADHD Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder—a neurodevelopmental condition that affects millions of people worldwide. ADHD is more than being “easily distracted” or “overactive.” It influences how people think, learn, and connect with others. By understanding ADHD and moving beyond stereotypes, we can create more inclusive environments where individuals feel supported and empowered to thrive.

Self-compassion is the act of treating yourself with the same kindness, understanding, and care you would offer to a close friend.
