ADHD in Adults: Signs You Might Be Missing
When people hear “ADHD,” they often think of children who can’t sit still in school. But ADHD doesn’t go away with age — and for many adults in Massachusetts, it goes undiagnosed. Adult ADHD can affect careers, relationships, and self-esteem, often leaving people wondering why life feels harder than it should.
What Does ADHD Look Like in Adults?
Some common signs include:
Constantly losing track of time or forgetting appointments
Difficulty focusing during meetings or conversations
Struggling to stay organized at work or at home
Feeling restless or unable to relax
Procrastination or jumping between tasks without finishing
Why ADHD Often Goes Undiagnosed
Adults with ADHD may have been mislabeled as “lazy” or “disorganized.” Cultural stigma, especially in Hispanic/Latino communities, can make it harder to seek help. But ADHD is not a character flaw — it’s a treatable condition.
