What is Adult ADHD?

Adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a mental health condition that is characterized by a combination of persistent difficulties in paying attention, hyperactivity, and poor impulse control behavior.

Usually, the symptoms of adult ADHD, tend to start in early childhood and continue well into adulthood. However, in some cases, ADHD is not recognized or even diagnosed until the person is an adult. Adult ADHD symptoms might not always be very obvious or prominent.

In adults, hyperactivity may decrease, but an individual may struggle with impulsiveness, low frustration tolerance, and difficulty paying attention.

Some of the symptoms of Adult ADHD are the following:

  • Struggling to begin tasks, even when they’re important or time-sensitive.
  • Inconsistent focus – sometimes missing small details, other times feeling hyper-fixated on something.
  • Having trouble staying organized or keeping tasks and responsibilities in order.
  • Finding it a challenge to stay mentally present or maintain focus for an extended period of time.
  • Acting impulsively, or having sudden emotional outbursts, especially in public.
