Adult ADHD
New ways to manage adult ADHD
Living with ADHD or ADT (Attention Deficit Traits) as an adult is different from struggling as a child. While ADHD is always challenging, adults have sharper insight into how the symptoms interfere with daily life. However, many adults also recognize the flip side of ADHD which may include unique gifts of creativity and outside-the-box thinking. Adults with ADHD are often especially bright and motivated to succeed, but can find themselves spinning their wheels. ADHD, when unmanaged, can impact the ability to complete simple daily tasks, affect moods, negatively impact self-confidence, and take a toll on relationships with family and coworkers. Understanding the diagnosis, learning new ways to manage, and discovering ways to harness specific strengths of ADHD can help you be more productive, improve relationships, feel more relaxed, and enjoy life.
