Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) consists of behavioral symptoms that includes hyperactivity, inattention, and impulsivity. While ADHD is commonly diagnosed in children, it can also affect adults. If you have trouble focusing on tasks, struggle to regulate your emotions, and tend to act impulsively, you may have ADHD.
Typical symptoms of ADHD include:
- Difficulty in staying focused or getting easily distracted
- Restlessness
- Overactivity and/or fidgeting
- Difficulty managing stress or controlling temper
- Disorganization, such as misplacing things
- Impulsive behavior, such as overspending
People having ADHD may also suffer from sleep disorders or anxiety disorders which can also cause problems with sleep and increase the risk of anxiety disorders.
