If you are struggling with symptoms like inattention, being easily distracted and restless, and impulsivity, you might want to consider being tested for adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. ADHD is often thought of as a childhood condition that is “outgrown” by the time one goes through teenhood. For this reason, it is often overlooked in adults. However, ADHD can span a lifetime.
Testing ADHD
How to recognise ADHD
Adults with ADHD are easily distracted, struggling with poor planning and organizational abilities, and suffer mood fluctuations and fits of temper. They seek out excitement and risks in order to be better able to concentrate, they often use drugs and alcohol, and they are impulsive and restless. Furthermore, they almost always have one or more additional disorders, such as anxiety, depression, addiction, a sleep disorder, a bipolar disorder, or a personality disorder. All this results in problems with functioning at school, at work, and in relationships.
