Symptoms of adult ADHD
Adult ADHD is defined by the NHS as a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, organisation and impulse control. There is a range of symptoms. You might find it hard to start or finish tasks, lose track of time or everyday items, or feel your focus pulled by every notification or noise. Some people swing between feeling stuck and then hyper‑focussed for hours, talk a lot, act or spend on impulse, or constantly feel “on the go”. ADHD can also be easier to miss in women and in people who have learnt to mask their difficulties, which is why a specialist adult ADHD assessment is so important.
