Understanding ADHD in Adulthood

When people think of ADHD, they often picture restless children who can’t sit still. But for many adults, ADHD looks completely different. Rather than hyperactivity, it’s more about how the brain manages attention, motivation, and emotional energy.

Adults with ADHD often appear high functioning, creative, and driven, yet behind the scenes, many struggle with consistency, focus, and overwhelm. Recognising these patterns is the first step toward building self-awareness and compassionate systems that actually work.
