Signs of ADHD in Adults You Might Be Missing
ADHD Isn’t Just for Kids
Most people think of ADHD as something you’re diagnosed with as a kid, but lots of adults have it too — they just never knew it. In adults, ADHD symptoms can be more subtle, but they still make daily life harder than it needs to be.
Common Signs in Adults
You start projects with lots of excitement, but finishing them? Not so easy.
Your mind jumps from one thing to the next — staying focused feels like a workout.
You’re constantly misplacing your phone, keys, or wallet.
Deadlines sneak up on you (even when you know they’re coming).
You feel overwhelmed, even with simple tasks.
It’s Not Just "Being Scattered"
ADHD isn’t about being lazy or forgetful — it’s a real condition that affects how your brain manages focus, organization, and follow-through. If these signs feel familiar, reaching out for support can make a big difference.
