ADHD affects attention, organisation, impulse control and emotional regulation. Adults may feel easily distracted, forgetful, overwhelmed by tasks, restless, or prone to “hyperfocus” on specific interests. Many people live with ADHD for years without recognising the symptoms.

How can it impact you and your loved ones?

ADHD can cause difficulties at work, at home, and in relationships. Misunderstandings are common — others may interpret symptoms as carelessness or lack of effort, which can lead to conflict and low self-esteem. Untreated ADHD can contribute to stress, burnout, or emotional overwhelm.
