What is ADHD?
ADHD is a mental health condition characterized by persistent difficulties with attention, hyperactivity, and impulsive behavior. Though ADHD is often diagnosed in childhood, many adults also live with the condition, sometimes without being diagnosed until later in life. The symptoms and their intensity can vary greatly between individuals, and adults often experience different symptoms than children.

Prevalence of ADHD
ADHD is a common disorder, especially in the U.S.:

• 5% to 9.5% of children aged 2-17 are estimated to have ADHD.
• Between 4.4% and 5% of American adults have ADHD, although many adults remain undiagnosed.
• ADHD is more frequently diagnosed in boys during childhood, but it affects both men and women in adulthood.

What are the symptoms of ADHD?
ADHD symptoms are generally categorized into two groups: inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity.

Symptoms of Inattention:

• Difficulty concentrating on tasks, especially those that are uninteresting.
• Frequently missing details or completing tasks carelessly.
• Challenges with following instructions and organizing tasks.
• Often losing items like phones, keys, or important paperwork.
• Forgetfulness and trouble recalling important information.
• Easily distracted by external stimuli.

Symptoms of Hyperactivity/Impulsivity:

• Constant fidgeting or the need to keep hands occupied.
• Struggling to remain seated for long periods, such as in meetings or classrooms.
• Talking excessively or interrupting others during conversations.
• Feeling restless and switching tasks frequently.

Some individuals may experience more symptoms from one category, while others may have a mix of both. Adults with ADHD may have learned to manage certain behaviors, making their symptoms less outwardly visible, but they may still struggle internally.
