From mood swings and growth spurts to impulsive and risky behaviors, the challenges of puberty can exacerbate ADHD symptoms and cause teenagers to feel and act like different people. Hormonal changes often perplex and frustrate parents, who become unsure how to best support their growing children — and keep their own feelings of overwhelm, confusion, and exhaustion at bay.
By learning what to expect during adolescence, caregivers can help teens manage emotions, improve decision-making skills, and promote independence.
