Adult ADHD: More Than Trouble Paying Attention

Many adults struggle with difficulty focusing, staying organized, or completing daily tasks and sometimes these challenges are dismissed as “stress” or “being forgetful.” For some, adult ADHD may be the underlying cause.

Common Symptoms in Adults

Adults with ADHD often experience:

• Difficulty sustaining attention at work or during meetings

• Chronic procrastination despite motivation

• Forgetfulness and missed deadlines

• Restlessness or racing thoughts

• Challenges with emotional regulation

These symptoms can affect work, relationships, and self-confidence, even in high-functioning adults who have developed coping strategies.

Why an Accurate Evaluation Matters

Adult ADHD is often underdiagnosed because symptoms can be subtle or masked by compensatory strategies. A thorough evaluation helps clarify whether ADHD or another condition—such as anxiety or depression—is contributing to these difficulties.

Treatment Can Help

With a tailored treatment plan, including medication management and skills-based strategies, many adults experience improved focus, organization, and emotional well-being.
