ADHD in adults remains a largely undiagnosed and misunderstood condition, often due to various misconceptions that surround it. In many cases, symptoms in adults may go unrecognized because they can be subtle or overlap with other conditions.
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that begins in childhood and often persists into adulthood. Common symptoms in children include difficulty paying attention, impulsive behaviors, and excessive activity levels. When these symptoms continue into adulthood, they may present as restlessness, challenges with multitasking, and mood swings. These effects can significantly impact relationships, work performance, and daily life activities.
