Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders. Most patients are diagnosed as children, but the symptoms of ADHD can last into adulthood. Some adults with ADHD haven’t been properly diagnosed, so the symptoms can make it particularly difficult to have a career, as well as meaningful and healthy family and personal relationships.
Symptoms of ADHD
People with ADHD often have trouble paying attention and controlling impulsive behaviors. Some other symptoms include:
- difficulty concentrating at work or school;
- struggling to maintain focus on material you find uninteresting;
- losing interest in projects before they are complete;
- forgetting to pay bills;
- a messy or disorganized house or office;
- feedback from others that you talk too much, too loudly or too quickly;
- problems paying attention in conversation;
- feelings of restlessness or challenges staying still for long periods of time;
- difficulty staying “on the subject” in conversation;
- getting “lost” in enjoyable activities, to the point where you sometimes forget other responsibilities;
- feelings that your brain is working faster than you are able to express your ideas;
- creative inspiration that fades before you’ve completed the project;
- signing on to too many things at once;
- challenges controlling anger;
- tendency to lose things;
- feeling more engaged in loud, crowded or “high energy” environments; and
- procrastination
