Common Symptoms of ADHD
ADHD symptoms are generally grouped into two main categories: inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity. Some individuals experience primarily one type, while others experience a combination of both.

In adults, ADHD may appear as chronic stress, low self-esteem, or difficulty maintaining focus at work or in relationships.
