ADHD - Attention Deficit Hiperactivity Disorder

The Concept of ADHD – More Popular Than Ever

This term has become deeply ingrained in public awareness. What was once a medical-psychological diagnosis (DSM-5: 314.01; ICD-10: F90–F90.9) is now almost a casual label in everyday conversation.

There’s more and more content about it on social media, and an increasing number of celebrities are opening up about having ADHD (Emma Watson, Michael Phelps, Liv Tyler, Justin Timberlake, etc.).

At the same time, many misconceptions are spreading online, and some companies or so-called “experts” use ADHD as a marketing tool or business strategy. Fake ADHD-tests, Fake Products, Fake ADHD-types.

 

But what exactly is ADHD?

By definition, ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a pervasive (lifelong), neurodevelopmental disorder that affects all areas of life. It is characterized by a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity.

 

What does “pervasive” mean?

It means that ADHD is lifelong. You can’t “cure” ADHD—but you can learn to manage the symptoms, harness the advantages, and even turn it into a strength.

A successful person with ADHD is not successful despite their ADHD—but often because of it.

 

Typical Symptoms:

Inattention: Difficulty maintaining focus, easily distracted, disorganized, poor time management, procrastination.

Hyperactivity: Excessive motor activity, difficulty staying still (sitting, standing), constant fidgeting or restlessness.

Impulsivity: Acting without thinking, impulsive responses, sensation seeking, craving novelty.

 

Signs of ADHD in Adulthood:

Although adult-specific symptoms aren't categorized separately in diagnostic manuals, many people—especially those undiagnosed in childhood—only realize they have ADHD as adults.

Common signs in adulthood include: Chronic procrastination; Juggling 5–6 tasks at once; Frequent job changes; Poor time management; Difficulty managing finances
