Learning to live with ADHD is a difficult and constant process that is heavily influenced by the cultural values and experiences of the diagnosed person. Values like expectations and definitions of success, attitudes towards medical treatment, and how roles and relationships within a group are defined all play a part in how ADHD is perceived and addressed. Understanding how your clients culture and its values shape their experience with ADHD is an important step towards providing considerate, quality care.
