Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often goes undiagnosed in adults, as symptoms manifest differently and can be mistaken for other issues like anxiety or depression. Approximately 10 million adults in the U.S. may struggle with this condition. Subtle signs such as extreme procrastination and disorganization can indicate ADHD but are frequently overlooked, leading to significant personal and health consequences. Professional insights reveal that many seeking a diagnosis may appear to manage their symptoms effectively, complicating recognition and treatment.
Adults looking for diagnosis often have many subtle signs rather than completely failing, which can lead to a slow realization of having ADHD.
Some symptoms of ADHD also mimic those of anxiety or depression, causing frustration when initial treatments fail to alleviate the symptoms.
It's easy to assume that everyone has a sinking-in-quicksand feeling while juggling life, but this can be an indication of adult ADHD.
The hallmark symptoms of ADHD—like inattention and impulsivity—are less noticeable in adulthood, as individuals may develop coping skills over time.
