This comprehensive book delves into the often-overlooked phenomenon of Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) in adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Through a neurobiological lens, it examines how the unique brain structures and neurotransmitter imbalances associated with ADHD contribute to extreme sensitivity to rejection and emotional dysregulation. The book begins by exploring the defining characteristics and prevalence of RSD, followed by an in-depth analysis of the brain regions involved, such as the amygdala and prefrontal cortex, and their role in amplifying emotional responses.

Readers will find practical coping strategies and therapeutic interventions, including cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based approaches, tailored to help manage RSD symptoms. In addition, personal narratives and case studies shed light on the real-world impact of RSD, providing a sense of community and shared experience for readers facing similar challenges. With insights into current research and emerging treatments, this book is an invaluable resource for ADHD adults, mental health professionals, and anyone seeking to understand the profound emotional effects of RSD and ADHD on daily life.
