Focus, History’s Lost Character

Is your lack of concentration a disease? While many people without ADHD struggle with paying attention, staying focused, and so on, what separates these individuals from someone with ADHD is the degree of severity, and the level to which it impacts their daily life. If left untreated, an adult with ADHD can struggle to contain their own impulsiveness, spending, or self-control, to a degree where the important parts of life – paying the bills, keeping a job, and so on – all slip through the cracks.

Those with ADHD are often find themselves poorly understood, or misrepresented. They experience a constant state of restlessness that makes it difficult to find happiness settling for any one thing, whether a location or relationship, and can experience wild mood swings. This has led to a great deal of confusion around the matter of ADHD, as a whole, but it’s important to note that ADHD, when a person truly does have it, can create huge struggles when navigating through everyday life.

People diagnosed with ADHD as children often find that their symptoms lessen as they grow older. However, for others, these symptoms worsen with age, as behaviors like disorganization, impulsiveness, inattentiveness, and so on, become barriers in the way of their life goals. While ADHD is, indeed, often misrepresented, if you struggle with this condition, you deserve compassion, understanding, and an individualized plan forward. Schedule a consultation today
