IS IT ADULT ADHD OR SOMETHING ELSE?

IS IT ADULT ADHD OR SOMETHING ELSE?

Are you an adult woman wondering if you might have undiagnosed ADHD?

You might have some of the classic signs: you can’t focus or finish tasks; you battle to sit down and stay there and/or you may act without thinking or finish people’s sentences. But these signs are not exclusive to ADHD. Here are some more unusual symptoms of Inattentive ADHD (the main type affecting women), and if you tick YES to all of them, it’s time to do a proper assessment for ADHD.

1. Hyperfocus. You can focus intently on something for hours and hours in certain settings but not be able to focus at all in others. 
2. Difficulty controlling your emotions, making you snappy and overreactive. 
3. Compulsive shopping or other addictive behaviours, because your brain is looking for the stimulation of a dopamine rush.
4. You’re always late, no matter how hard you try.
5. Masking – on the outside you look super successful and super busy, but on the inside your busyness is chaotic.
6. Highly self critical – you’re always beating yourself up for not being ´normal´, like everyone else. 

Have a good week,

Love Vanessa
