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.
