Summary

This study tests a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program called ADHD&me, designed to improve self-esteem in young people aged 16-25 with ADHD and low self-esteem. Participants will attend seven therapy sessions and complete questionnaires about their self-esteem, masking behaviors, and mental health. The goal is to see if the program helps them feel more confident and reduces the need to hide their ADHD symptoms.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could provide a new therapy option to help young people with ADHD feel better about themselves and reduce the need to hide their symptoms.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 110 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The therapy is behavioral, so benefits depend on individual engagement and may not be long-lasting.
