Do You Have Adult ADHD?

Do you have trouble starting and finishing tasks? Are you restless, disorganized, and easily distracted? Are you impulsive or have trouble controlling your anger. You might have adult ADHD.Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder is not just limited to children and teens. Many adults don't realize they might have ADHD, leaving them wondering why they can't seem to attain their goals. One of the main components of ADHD in adults is not being able to focus in on the task at hand, which can derail careers and ambitions. A shared characteristic between kids and adults with ADHD is the term "hyperfocused." This is when you're intensely focused on an activity you enjoy possibly for hours, like a video game for example.

Adults and kids with ADHD will typically put off boring tasks in favor of a task they enjoy. The problem is that many tasks necessary for success in everyday life are boring...from shopping lists to home and office paperwork. In people with ADHD, brain chemicals called neurotransmitters are less active in areas of the brain that control attention. Researchers don't seem to know what causes this chemical imbalance but it tends to run in families, so genetics may play a part.

One of my ex morning show partners had a full blown case of ADHD. I suggested, in a kind way, that if he was able to focus better with the help of a therapist and medication, he had the potential to go on to much bigger and better things. He did thank me and told me he liked himself just the way he was.
