Have you recently noticed that you…

• Get “lost” in things that you are interested in, but can’t focus on things you don’t enjoy?

• Often get side-tracked by things that pop into your head that results in getting off task?

• Find yourself missing deadlines and avoiding or procrastinating with things that require more in-depth thought?

• Are quick to react and say things or make decisions without slowing down to consider the consequences?

Here are some common symptoms of Adult ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder):

ADHD is a brain-based issue that a person deals with over the course of their life. Yet sometimes ADHD goes undetected until adulthood. Additionally, problems may not arise until the stresses of life increase in adulthood.

• Problems with planning and executing tasks efficiently

• Difficulty with time management with the inability to anticipate how long a project will take to complete

• Forgetfulness no matter how clearly instructions are presented

• Inattentiveness or distraction which can be seen as “zoning out” in conversations or during meetings within a professional setting

• Trouble with detail-oriented work which can lead to mistakes and errors

• Challenges with getting started and staying on task with things that feel boring or repetitive

• Impulsivity or blurting out things without thinking them through or considering the consequences of words expressed

• Hyperactivity, trouble sitting still, or internal agitation/restlessness

• Frequently talking over others or interrupting

• Irritability, short fuse, or being sensitive to criticism.

• Problems staying motivated when under-stimulated or underwhelmed
