Understand more about ADHD in adults, take a short test, and find out how we can help.
People with ADHD often experience the world in a different way from those around them. For some, curiosity, creativity and fast thinking bring energy and ideas. For others, everyday life can feel harder to organise and to stay on top of, especially in environments that demand constant focus, planning and timekeeping. ADHD looks different from one person to another and it can change depending on your age, your life, and whether you are also managing anxiety, low mood, or other challenges. It can affect day to day life in ways that feel tiring, frustrating, or hard to explain to other people.
You may recognise yourself in some of these experiences:
Getting overwhelmed by organisation, admin, or day to day planning
Finding it hard to start tasks, even when they matter to you
Feeling like you have to use pressure or urgency to get anything done
Losing track of time, running late, or misjudging how long things will take
Forgetting things, misplacing items, or missing small but important details
Feeling emotions quickly and strongly, then feeling drained afterwards
Many adults discover they have ADHD later in life. This can follow years of feeling like you are trying harder than other people to do the same things, or noticing familiar traits in a neurodivergent child, partner, or friend.
Considering that you might have ADHD can bring relief and self-compassion. It can help you make sense of your experiences and find the support that fits you and your life.
