Here are some common ADHD symptoms you need to know about.
The most commonly reported symptoms of adult ADHD are problems with focus, organization, time management, and hyperactivity.
Procrastination Symptoms: Yes, this is a common symptom even in people who don’t have ADHD! But for people with ADHD, lingering on a task can become an exercise in futility. If you’re having trouble getting started, it’s probably a symptom of adult ADHD. Procrastination can also be an avoidance tactic — putting off doing something you know you shouldn’t do because there are consequences for your actions.
Distractibility: Distraction is among the top five adult ADHD symptoms. After all, if you’re easily distracted, you can’t focus and pay attention to one thing for very long — even if it’s something you enjoy.
Impulsivity: Many adults with ADHD have a hard time thinking before they act. In fact, impulsivity is another of the most commonly reported symptoms among adults with ADHD.
