ADHD in Relationships: Exploring the Impacts and Solutions
Briefly

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition impacting individuals from childhood into adulthood. While previously thought to primarily affect young boys, it can reveal itself later in life, particularly affecting adults' ability to maintain relationships. People with ADHD experience relationship dissatisfaction and challenges like miscommunication, which can lead to breakdowns. Women often remain undiagnosed longer due to subtler symptom expression. Addressing ADHD in romantic relationships involves understanding the condition and may require therapy to cultivate patience and support between partners.
