ADHD is often associated with children, but many adults live with undiagnosed ADHD. Instead of being seen as hyperactivity, ADHD in adults can look like:

  • Difficulty focusing or staying organized

  • Procrastination and unfinished tasks

  • Feeling overwhelmed easily

  • Forgetfulness or misplacing items

  • Restlessness or racing thoughts

Adults often blame themselves — thinking they’re lazy, scattered, or inconsistent.
But in many cases, there’s an underlying neurological reason.

Why It’s Missed

Adults typically learn to mask symptoms by working harder, overplanning, avoiding tasks, or pushing themselves to exhaustion.

The Good News

Testing for ADHD can provide clarity and validation.
A diagnosis doesn’t limit you — it gives you a roadmap for thriving.

With the right support, coping tools, and treatment, adults with ADHD often find more confidence, energy, and control in daily life.
