—Thriving with Adult ADHD
People with ADHD often struggle to finish projects and have difficulty getting organized. They have problems remembering appointments, getting started on tasks, and often talk too much and interrupt others. It can have a significant impact on work and personal relationships as well. ADHD appears in childhood, and usually continues into adulthood for approximately 5% of the population.
