Learn moreWhy Understanding Symptoms Matters
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) affects approximately 5-7% of adults worldwide. Many people go undiagnosed because they don't recognize their experiences as ADHD-related.
Understanding how these symptoms manifest in daily life is the first step toward getting support. Each person's experience is unique — you might strongly relate to some symptoms and not others.
Remember: Having these experiences doesn't automatically mean you have ADHD. Only a qualified healthcare professional can provide a diagnosis. These pages are designed to help you reflect and prepare for conversations with professionals.
