ADHD in Adults: Recognizing the Symptoms

For many years, ADHD was primarily seen as a condition affecting children. However, an estimated 2 to 4 percent of adults also live with ADHD. It presents differently in adults compared to children.

While children often exhibit more hyperactive symptoms, adults typically show signs of inattention. Adults may find themselves easily distracted or frequently forgetful. These symptoms can be less noticeable, making it challenging to identify ADHD in adults.
