What is ADHD?
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, impulse control, and activity levels. It often begins in childhood but is frequently recognized — and diagnosed — in adults.
ADHD is not a sign of low intelligence or laziness. It reflects differences in how the brain manages focus and self-regulation, and with the right strategies and support, people with ADHD thrive.
Common symptoms and signs of ADHD in adults
- Trouble paying attention to details or frequent careless mistakes
- Difficulty staying focused on tasks, reading, or conversations
- Trouble finishing projects or getting organized
- Easily distracted and often forgetful in daily activities
- Fidgeting, restlessness, or difficulty sitting still
- Acting or speaking impulsively, or interrupting others
- Procrastinating on tasks that require sustained mental effort
- Losing things needed for tasks (keys, phone, paperwork)
When to seek help for ADHD
If attention, organization, or impulsivity problems have been present since childhood and are affecting your work, studies, or relationships, an evaluation by a qualified professional can help.
This free adult ADHD test (based on the ASRS v1.1 screener) can help you decide whether to seek a full assessment. It is a screening tool, not a diagnosis.
