ADHD Symptoms Checklist
- Some common symptoms and problems of living with AD/HD include:
- Poor attention; excessive distractibility
- Physical restlessness or hyperactivity
- Excessive impulsivity; saying or doing things without thinking
- Excessive and chronic procrastination
- Difficulty getting started on tasks
- Difficulty completing tasks
- Frequently losing things
- Poor organization, planning, and time management skills
- Excessive forgetfulness
Not every person with AD/HD displays all of the symptoms, nor does
every person with AD/HD experience the symptoms of AD/HD to the same
level of severity or impairment. Some people have mild AD/HD, while
others have severe AD/HD, resulting in significant impairments. AD/HD
can cause problems in school, in jobs and careers, at home, in family
and other relationships, and with tasks of daily living. AD/HD is thought to be a biological condition, most often inherited,
that affects certain types of brain functioning. There is no cure for
AD/HD. When properly diagnosed and treated, AD/HD can be well managed,
leading to increased satisfaction in life and significant improvements
in daily functioning. Many individuals with AD/HD lead highly
successful and happy lives. An accurate diagnosis is the first step in
learning to effectively manage AD/HD.
