🧠 October is ADHD Awareness Month!
“I’ve always been a little scattered… but since my concussion, everything feels harder.”
Sound familiar? ADHD and concussion symptoms can overlap, making it harder to tell what’s familiar and what’s changed.
You might notice:
🔹 Losing your train of thought more often
🔹 Rereading without taking in the information
🔹 More difficulty starting, organizing, or finishing tasks
🔹 Forgetting appointments or why you walked into a room
🔹 Feeling overwhelmed by noise, screens, or busy environments
🔹 Running out of mental energy sooner
If you already have ADHD, concussion symptoms may add to challenges you previously managed with routines and strategies. And new attention difficulties after a concussion don’t automatically mean ADHD.
At A Rise Above, occupational therapy helps you understand what’s getting in the way and build practical strategies for work, home, and everyday life—from managing fatigue to organizing your day.
💙 You deserve support that considers how your brain worked before your injury—and what it needs now.
