ADHD and Emotional Dysregulation Across the Lifespan
In this course, psychologist Grace da Camara explores how difficulties with emotional regulation influence functioning across childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.

About this course
In this course, psychologist Grace da Camara, developer of the OnTrac programs and co-author of ADHD-focused therapeutic workbooks, introduces emotional dysregulation as a clinically significant yet historically overlooked aspect of ADHD. She examines how executive functioning, motivation, dopamine regulation, masking, cognitive load, rejection sensitivity, and developmental factors contribute to emotional dysregulation across the lifespan. Da Camara explores the impact of these difficulties on relationships, parenting, identity, self-esteem, and everyday functioning while highlighting the importance of viewing ADHD through a broader self-regulation framework. Learners are guided through how this perspective informs assessment, differential diagnosis, psychoeducation, and intervention planning to promote more effective and compassionate support.
