Hi ! My Name is Alice, I created The Mini ADHD Coach in August 2020 when I was just diagnosed with ADHD at 29.
After years of questioning, therapy, burnout, and chaotic career path changes, I finally understood why I struggled with so many things.
So I decided to share what I learned to raise awareness around ADHD and help the ADHD community thrive.

AttentionDeficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is often associated with impulsivity, inattention, and hyperactivity. However, an oftenoverlooked manifestation in some ADHD individuals is the tendency towards hoarding. Endless struggles to organize, make decisions promptly, and the challenges of getting easily distracted can contribute to accumulations of items that might seem unnecessary to others.
The link between ADHD and hoarding can be attributed to executive function deficits. Executive functions refer to the mental skills that help manage time, pay attention, switch focus, organize tasks, and remember details. Individuals with ADHD may struggle with the decisionmaking process about what to keep and what to discard, leading to excessive clutter. The emotional attachment to objects, combined with impulsivity, can make it hard to part with items, even when they serve no practical purpose.
Addressing hoarding in ADHD individuals requires a tailored approach. Alongside conventional ADHD treatments, cognitivebehavioral therapy (CBT) targeting hoarding tendencies can be beneficial. Implementing organizational strategies, setting small decluttering goals, and seeking support from professionals or support groups can pave the way for improved wellbeing and a healthier living environment.
