Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria

Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) is a common and disruptive symptom of emotional dysregulation often associated with ADHD. It is a brain-based condition where individuals experience severe emotional pain due to failure or rejection. People with RSD compensate for this fear by striving for perfectionism, but this can lead to intense anxiety and difficulty prioritizing self-care. The intensity of RSD is described as a wound, and it directly affects emotional regulation. People with RSD experience strong emotional responses to situations they interpret as rejection or criticism, which can cause them to develop a serious fear of rejection.
