Emotional Governance Theory: The Missing Link in ADHD and Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD)

Abstract

The emotional component of ADHD has long been misunderstood, misclassified, or outright ignored. Emotional Dysregulation (ED) is often referenced in clinical literature as a "feature" of ADHD, while Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) — a term coined by Dr. William Dodson — is excluded entirely from the DSM and mainstream medical frameworks. However, the lived experience of adults with ADHD suggests there is more at play than momentary emotional instability. This document proposes a new lens for understanding emotional collapse in ADHD: Emotional Governance (EG).
