Negative thought patterns in individuals with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder often manifest as self-doubt, pessimism, and defeatist attitudes. These patterns can significantly impact self-esteem and exacerbate the difficulties faced in daily life. For instance, a child struggling with ADHD might frequently think, "I?m never going to get this right," which can lead to decreased motivation and increased frustration.CBT aims to address these negative thoughts by helping individuals recognize and challenge irrational beliefs. By identifying these harmful thought patterns, therapists can work with patients to replace them with more balanced and realistic thoughts.
