ADHD
Why am I having such a hard time Focusing?
Adult ADHD is more than an inability to focus attention; it can also manifest as having difficulty listening to others while having a conversation and not being able to focus on details.
What are the symptoms of adult aDHD?
Many adults who struggle with ADHD discover that symptoms were likely present when they were younger but were never diagnosed until adulthood when symptoms became impossible to ignore.
