CBT is a short-term therapy that focuses on developing new skills to change unhelpful behaviours and thoughts, and to manage emotions.
Adults with ADHD often experience problems with memory, attention, and getting organized. Hobbies, relationships, self-esteem, diet, and sleep can also be affected.
Anxiety can include extremely uncomfortable physical sensations, emotions like fear and anger, and thoughts such as imagining the worst-case scenario in a situation.
Depression can have a serious impact on almost every part of your life: Mood, sleep, thoughts and concentration, eating, work, responsibilities, hygiene, and relationships.

Low self-esteem can be intertwined with perfectionism, social anxiety, criticism from yourself and others, shame and depression, for example.
