ADHD is classified as being developmental, meaning that it presents during childhood and carries forward into adulthood. While some people with ADHD don’t receive a diagnosis until adulthood, symptoms are almost always present during their younger years. Some of these symptoms include: - Carelessness or a non-existent sense of danger - A short attention span  - Lack of attention to detail - Continually losing or misplacing things - High levels of forgetfulness - Consistent restlessness and/or fidgeting - An inability to finish tasks, especially ‘boring’ or tedious one - Consistently starting new projects and abandoning old ones - Poor organizational skills - Inability to prioritize tasks or focus - Excessive talking - Interrupting others - Mood swings - Low levels of stress management - Extreme impatience Throughout development, patients may experience fluctuating levels of these symptoms. It’s important to speak to a healthcare professional as soon as you start experiencing some or any of these symptoms, as that will ensure diagnosis and treatment can start as soon as possible.
