When most people hear the letters ADHD (Attention Deficient Hyperactivity Disorder) they think about kids who are bouncing off the wall or who are constantly displaying impulsive behaviors. The image of an adult who struggles with focus doesn’t often enter our minds. ADHD symptoms in adulthood are often minimized and the person is labeled as being disorganized, lazy, a procrastinator, or simply unmotivated.
The reality is millions of adults have ADHD but most go undiagnosed for years. ADHD is a mental health condition that includes a combination of persistent problems, such as difficulty paying attention, hyperactivity and impulsive behavior. Adult ADHD can lead to unstable relationships, poor work or school performance, low self-esteem, and other problems.
In this episode of the podcast, I break down the signs and symptoms of adult ADHD. You will leave the show with a better understanding of this disorder and some concrete steps to take to get the help you may need.
