Understanding ADHD

What is ADHD?

Adult ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interfere with daily functioning. Symptoms may include difficulty focusing, disorganization, forgetfulness, restlessness, and difficulty completing tasks. These symptoms can impact work, relationships, and overall quality of life. Treatment often involves a combination of medication, therapy, and lifestyle adjustments.

Key characteristics of ADHD include:

  • Inattention: Difficulty sustaining focus, being easily distracted, and frequently losing things.
  • Hyperactivity: Restlessness, excessive talking, and difficulty sitting still.
  • Impulsivity: Acting without thinking, interrupting others, and making hasty decisions.
  • Disorganization: Poor time management, difficulty prioritizing tasks, and often running late.
  • Forgetfulness: Frequently forgetting appointments, deadlines, and daily tasks.
  • Emotional Regulation: Difficulty managing stress, mood swings, and frustration.
  • Procrastination: Tendency to delay tasks and struggle with completing projects.
  • Low Frustration Tolerance: Becoming easily irritated or frustrated with minor obstacles.

Who it Affects:

  • ADHD often starts in childhood but can continue into adulthood.
  • It's not a sign of low intelligence or laziness. People with ADHD have unique strengths and talents.
