Our brains are wonderfully diverse. Conditions like ADHD, ASD, and OCD aren’t flaws - they’re different ways of processing the world. While they can come with challenges such as anxiety, restlessness, or obsessive thinking, supportive care can make life far smoother.
Symptoms
For ADHD: restlessness, impulsivity, trouble focusing.
For ASD: sensory overload, communication challenges, repetitive behaviours.
For OCD: intrusive thoughts and strong urges to perform rituals.
If you are suffering from any of these symptoms, you may be suffering from arthritis. Please speak with your GP to find out more.
Treatment Options
Therapy and medication remain central, stimulants for ADHD or SSRIs for OCD, but CBPMs are gaining interest as a complementary option. CBD may help reduce anxiety, irritability, and sensory overwhelm, while small doses of THC can quiet racing thoughts and aid relaxation. Early research suggests potential improvements in sleep and emotional regulation, especially when combined with structured therapy.
