Are You Suffering From Adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)?

However, these behaviors could be indicative of adult ADHD. ADD is more common in older adults than was previously acknowledged and is often overlooked by family doctors. Patients with ADD often have comorbid psychiatric disorders such as anxiety, mood disorders, and addiction problems. 1. You have trouble focusing. Having a hard time focusing could indicate that something is interfering with your ability to think clearly. You might want to talk to your doctor about getting tested for adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) if this is a problem for you. There are symptoms of adult attention deficit disorder can try to improve your focus, such as eliminating distractions or taking a medications that aid in concentration. Adults have less obvious signs of ADHD than children. They may show up as a general feeling of restlessness or a feeling of anxiety. You might not be in a position to remain still in an interview or doodling in meetings or fumbling with your phone, which is known as fidgeting. These behaviors can cause you to miss important information or make it harder for others to understand what you're saying. You may also be having trouble remembering things, such as appointments, tasks, and other obligations. You might be inclined to procrastinate and stay up late to finish school work or working on a project the day before it is due. These behaviors may appear to be normal personality characteristics that won't change but if they impact your relationships and work they could indicate that you have ADD. 3. You Are Always Late If you're always late and you find yourself making excuses, this could indicate that you have an adult addition. Carmel Moore, a time management expert, says that people who are always late may be impulsive or driven by the desire to hurry. They also often engage in magical thinking that they believe it will take less time than it actually takes. 4. You're having a hard time managing your time Procrastination is a characteristic that a lot of adults carry around with their childhood. It could be a personality characteristic that you cannot change. You may still delay responding to texts or calling people back. You might be always late for work or other activities. If these habits are causing disruption to your routine, it could be a sign of an adult add. Refusing to tackle issues can cause anxiety, depression and even burnout. 5. You have a difficult time keeping track of your time It might seem like your problems with procrastination from high school are over, but sometimes these tendencies can stick around into adulthood.

In the same way, if you're constantly snooze-ing your alarm, only to forget to make sure the family cat is fed, or you put off completing projects due in the near future until they're right up against the deadline, these behaviours could be indicative of adult ADHD. You must tackle these issues before they affect your relationships and career or your mental health. Fortunately, help is readily available.
