ADHD Burnout Prevention & Recovery – Teen Workbook
 
Living with ADHD is a full-time job your teen’s brain didn’t exactly sign up for. School, homework, friendships, social media, masking… it all adds up. No wonder so many ADHD teens end up totally exhausted and shutting down.
 
This psychiatrist-approved teen workbook gives young people a clear, gentle way to understand what ADHD burnout is, spot it early, and build their own plan to recover and protect their energy going forward.
 
Written to teens in straightforward, non-patronising language, it helps them make sense of what’s going on in their brain and body, and reassures them that they’re not lazy, dramatic or “failing” – they’re overloaded.
 
What’s inside:
 
Across 19 colour workbook pages, your teen will:
Learn what ADHD burnout actually is – and how it’s different from “just being tired”
Understand why ADHD brains are more vulnerable to burnout (executive function, emotions, masking, sensory overload, etc.)
Identify their personal warning signs using guided prompts and doodle space
Explore practical prevention strategies written with ADHD in mind – energy management, realistic expectations, protecting executive function, sensory support, sustainable routines and emotional regulation
Use structured journal pages to track energy, mood and early signs of burnout
Create an emergency recovery plan for when everything feels too much
Build a personalised recovery toolkit: safe people, comforting activities, sensory supports and things they’re allowed to drop when overwhelmed
Read clear guidance on when to seek extra help and how to talk to adults or professionals if they’re struggling
All information has been reviewed by a fully qualified UK psychiatrist for clinical accuracy (January 2026), and there’s a reminder that it’s an educational resource – not a diagnostic tool.
 
Why families love it
Teen-friendly, not childish – respects their intelligence and lived experience
Validating and shame-free – firmly tackles “lazy” and “not trying hard enough” myths
Actually practical – tiny, realistic steps designed for ADHD brains, not perfect students
Easy to use together – great for starting calm conversations about burnout at home, in school or in therapy sessions

ADHD teens who keep hitting a wall with school, college or social demands

SENDCos, pastoral staff, counsellors and youth workers supporting neurodivergent teens
Use alongside existing ADHD support, coaching or therapy
 
Give your teen a way to understand their limits, protect their energy and recover kindly – instead of blaming themselves for “not keeping up”.
