Signs of ADHD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to tell the difference between a periodic inability to focus and ADHD, which is a neurodevelopmental disorder. There are three main types of ADHD, each with different symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hyperactive<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hyperactive ADHD is commonly diagnosed in childhood but is also found in adults. This form of the disorder is indicated by a number of symptoms, including the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Need for constant movement or fidgeting<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Non-stop talking<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Interrupting conversations<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Struggles with impulsivity<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Difficulty concentrating<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Struggles to wait your turn<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Inattentive<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Inattentive ADHD is typified by easy distractibility and a lack of the ability to organize thoughts. It\u2019s characterized by a number of symptoms, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Difficulty in paying attention<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Inability to follow directions<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Often lose things<\/li>\n\n\n\n

    • Struggle to complete assignments<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Challenges following instructions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Combined<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Combined ADHD is the most common form of this neurotype, characterized by a combination of symptoms associated with both hyperactive and inattentive ADHD. For instance, they may struggle to sit still or struggle with impulsivity, have difficulty focusing, miss small details, or be disorganized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      ADHD at Home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      ADHD is most often thought about in a school or work environment, but the problem continues when you go home. Organizing a household, managing chores, and tackling other home responsibilities is often a job of its own that rivals the responsibility of work or school. People with ADHD often struggle with \u201cboring tasks,\u201d which can be both at-home tasks or work\/school-related tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t
