7 Signs You Might Have ADHD
While everyone struggles with concentrating from time to time, some struggle more than others. Having difficulty staying focused, organized, or finishing tasks can sound like Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). But how does one know if they have ADHD?ADHD doesn’t only affect children, as some may think, but it actually affects millions of adults as well. ADHD in adults often goes unnoticed, so recognizing the signs is the first step to understanding yourself better.
Here are some common signs that you might have ADHD:
You struggle to focus, but only on specific things
Do you ever catch yourself zoning out of meetings? Do you hyperfocus on something you're passionate about for hours? If so, this might be the first sign that you have ADHD.
You often start tasks but never finish them
Beginning something new might be exciting for you, but you may lose interest and never finish. If this sounds like you, then you might have ADHD.
Organization feels impossible
No amount of planners or calendars can help those with ADHD stay on track. It could be frustrating navigating appointments or something as small as remembering where you left your keys.
You act before you think
Interrupting others, making quick decisions without thinking them through, or having emotional outbursts can be signs of ADHD.
Your emotions feel intense
People with ADHD often feel emotions more deeply and, therefore, may find it difficult to regulate their emotions.
You struggle to manage time
Losing track of time or not realizing how long something might take is another area that those with ADHD struggle with.
