Rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD) may also be triggered by a sense of failure, or falling short — failing to meet either their own high standards or others’ expectations.
The extreme emotional pain of perceived rejection is a feeling unique to people with ADHD, and it can be debilitating. Learn how Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria may be impacting you or a loved one, and what you can do to move forward.
