Why does it seem like so many people have ADHD these days? 🧠

ADHD isn’t necessarily suddenly becoming more common. We’re getting much better at recognizing what ADHD can actually look like, especially in adults, women, and people who may not have shown the “classic” signs of hyperactivity as children.

Greater awareness, better screening, and a deeper understanding of symptoms like difficulty focusing, impulsivity, emotional regulation, procrastination, and executive functioning challenges mean more people are finally getting answers.

If you’re wondering whether ADHD may be affecting you or someone you love, working with an ADHD therapist can help you better understand your symptoms and learn practical strategies.

Cityscape Counseling offers ADHD therapy in Chicago, Hinsdale, and virtually throughout Illinois.

You can talk about su***de. In fact, we need to.

World Su***de Prevention Day (WSPD) is an awareness day always observed on 10 September every year, in order to provide worldwide commitment and action to prevent su***des, with various activities around the world since 2003.

On World Su***de Prevention Day, we’re challenging the idea that talking about su***de makes things worse. Compassionate, direct conversations can create space for someone to say what they’re actually experiencing—and get the support they need.

If you’re worried about someone you love, don’t be afraid to ask directly how they’re doing. Connection can be powerful.

Mental health struggles deserve care, support, and conversation.

What is OCD? 🧠

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) involves unwanted, intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors or mental rituals that can feel difficult to control.

OCD is more than simply being organized or particular.

If OCD is interfering with your daily life, therapy can help.

Communication is key when it comes to engaging in relationships. For most of us, we didn’t take a life class that tells us the best way to share. We didn’t learn quality interactions and how to have intimacy with the people around us. One of my favorite relationship tips is the concept and difference between “Support” and “Shift” responses. Sociologist Charles Derber crafted this concept in an effort to address the broader term “Conversational Narcissism.” The notion of conversational narcissism is exactly like what it sounds like. It is the pattern that some people have of turning the subject of every conversation back to themselves.

Check out our blog, How to Avoid Conversational Narcissism, to learn how to combat this tendency in conversations.

“Can you just tell me what to do?”

This is a question that is commonly asked, in many different ways, within the therapy room. Sometimes, there is understandable frustration when your therapist responds with a version of, “Can you tell me how you are feeling about it?”, rather than giving their advice.

Whether you are a friend, a colleague, or a client, this blog - Why Won’t My Therapist Just Tell Me What to Do? - addresses a few of the reasons why a therapist may steer clear of jumping to providing a straightforward answer to this question.
