Adult ADHD
ADHD—Not Just a Child’s Disorder
Do you often feel you’re not reaching your potential?
It’s a common feeling among adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Although many adults with ADHD have above-average intelligence, they may feel they have underachieved in terms of academic and/or professional success. Many also report difficulties in their personal relationships.
Overall, there’s a general feeling of dissatisfaction—a nagging sense that they are not realizing their potential.
Of course, many adults go for years—often the majority of their lives—not knowing they have ADHD. They assume, as many people do, that ADHD is a “kid’s” condition. When they finally learn that they do have ADHD—now a medically recognized condition in adults—they often experience an “a-ha!” moment, feeling relieved to understand the source of their life-long concerns. Sometimes it’s not until a child is diagnosed with ADHD that the parent realizes they may have ADHD as well.
