Defining ADHD
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects focus, impulse control, and executive functioning. While often diagnosed in childhood, ADHD can persist into adulthood, impacting work, relationships, and daily responsibilities. Contrary to common misconceptions, ADHD is not simply a matter of inattention or hyperactivity—it is a complex brain-based disorder that influences how individuals process information, manage time, and regulate emotions. With the right support, strategies, and interventions, individuals with ADHD can harness their strengths and thrive in both personal and professional settings.
Signs and Symptoms of ADHD
ADHD presents in three primary types: inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, and combined. Common signs of inattentive ADHD include difficulty sustaining focus, forgetfulness, disorganization, and frequent distraction. Hyperactive-impulsive symptoms may manifest as restlessness, excessive talking, difficulty waiting turns, and acting without thinking. Many individuals experience a combination of both, making everyday tasks feel overwhelming. ADHD symptoms can vary in severity and often interfere with work performance, academic success, and social interactions. Recognizing these signs is the first step toward seeking effective management strategies and support.
ADHD in Children and Youth vs. ADHD in Adults
ADHD presents differently in children and youth compared to adults, though the core challenges of inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity remain.
In children, ADHD often manifests as excessive energy, difficulty sitting still, trouble following instructions, and frequent daydreaming or distraction in school. They may struggle with completing assignments, waiting their turn, or managing emotions, leading to social and academic challenges.
In contrast, ADHD in adults tends to appear as chronic disorganization, difficulty managing time, forgetfulness, and struggles with maintaining focus at work or in relationships. While hyperactivity may lessen with age, adults often experience restlessness, impulsive decision-making, or difficulty regulating emotions, which can impact career growth and personal responsibilities.
Understanding these differences helps in recognizing and addressing ADHD at every stage of life, ensuring individuals receive the right tools and support to thrive.
