What is ADHD?
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how you focus, control impulses, and regulate activity levels. It's not about being lazy or not trying hard enough—ADHD is a brain-based condition that responds well to proper treatment.
ADHD presents in three ways: predominantly inattentive (formerly called ADD), predominantly hyperactive-impulsive, or combined type. Many adults with ADHD were never diagnosed as children and have struggled for years without understanding why.
Common ADHD Symptoms
- Difficulty sustaining attention on tasks or activities
- Frequently making careless mistakes at work or school
- Trouble organizing tasks and managing time
- Often losing things necessary for tasks
- Easily distracted by unrelated thoughts or stimuli
- Forgetful in daily activities
- Fidgeting, squirming, or feeling restless
- Difficulty waiting your turn or interrupting others
- Talking excessively or blurting out answers
ADHD in Adults
Adult ADHD often looks different than childhood ADHD. You may have developed coping strategies that mask some symptoms, but still struggle with:
- Chronic procrastination and missed deadlines
- Difficulty following through on commitments
- Impulsive spending or decision-making
- Trouble maintaining relationships
- Feeling overwhelmed by daily responsibilities
- Mood swings and emotional dysregulation
4.4%
