Attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder (ADD or ADHD) in adulthood can negatively impact on daily activities, work and other relationships.

Possible Signs of Adult ADHD

Do you…

• get distracted easily?
• have difficulty concentrating on one thing at a time?
• tend to be disorganized?
• have a hard time focusing or paying attention during conversations, listening to others, or while reading?
• often forget things like appointments or obligations?
• have trouble following directions that have multiple steps?
• have difficulty starting and finishing projects?
• tend to procrastinate?
• have trouble prioritizing information?
• become impatient easily?
• often feel restless and antsy?
• lose track of time and have trouble with time management?
• act before thinking through consequences?
• speak or blurt out before thinking about the impact your words will have on others?
• tend to have lots of distracting thoughts?
• get bored easily?
• tend to make careless mistakes when you have to work on a tedious or difficult project?
• take risks frequently?

If you answered “yes” to the majority of these questions and the behaviours are severe enough that they interfere with your daily activities, it is possible that you have ADHD.
