#1

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, is a neurological disorder that affects nearly 5 percent of the United States adult population. It is common among adults with ADHD, and they often struggle to regulate attention and impulses due to differences in the way their brains have developed and function.

#2

ADHD’s wide variety of frustrating symptoms can hinder everything from relationships to careers. It is invisible and yet unmissable. Once you know what to look for, spotting an ADHD pattern in someone you know becomes clear and obvious.

#3

Those with ADHD often have a hard time paying attention to things that aren’t inherently interesting or emotionally engaging. They have a hard time staying focused on tasks that are boring or monotonous.

#4

When we are extremely interested in something, we will unconsciously tune out any irrelevant thoughts and senses. This is known as hyperfocus. Some people become so engrossed in a project that it looks like they are completely unaware of anything else happening around them.

#5

Some people fit the stereotypical ADHD personality, which is living out their hyperactivity externally. They talk excessively, attempt to do many things at once, and have trouble sitting still, constantly fidgeting. However, most adults with ADHD are not overtly hyperactive.

#6

impulsivity is a spin-off of hyperactivity and restlessness. It is when people with ADHD have difficulty managing their behaviors, comments, and responses. They might act before thinking or react without considering potential consequences.

#7

Those with ADHD have a hard time managing their feelings. They are extremely sensitive, and even the smallest of events can feel like a big deal to them. When their emotions don’t match the situation, they may feel embarrassed.

#8

If you have adult ADHD, you may have felt like you’ve been struggling to keep your head above water, overwhelmed by constant stress. You may feel like others have labeled you lazy, irresponsible, or stupid because of your forgetfulness or difficulty completing specific tasks.

#9

medication helps regulate brain chemicals, and it can help improve symptoms immensely for some people. However, it is not the only solution. Learning how ADHD affects our lives daily will help us develop healthier behavior patterns.

#10

I hope that by the end of this book, you will rejoice in the good news that no matter how overwhelming it feels, the challenges of ADHD can be addressed. With knowledge about ADHD, support from loved ones, and possibly medication, you can learn to manage your pinging brain and start feeling good about your life again.
