Hello,
Symptoms of ADHD
1. Inattention.
The person might procrastinate, not complete tasks like homework or chores, or frequently move from one uncompleted activity to another.
Have trouble staying on topic while talking, not listening to others, and not following social rules. Be forgetful about daily activities (for example, missing appointments, forgetting to bring lunch).
2. Hyperactivity
Always on and go, hyperactivity. Hyperactivity can show up as feelings of restlessness in teens and adults. They may also have a hard time doing quiet activities where you sit still.
3. Impulsivity
Have a hard time waiting for their turn. Blurt out answers before someone finishes asking them a question. Frequently interrupt or intrude on others.
This often happens so much that it causes problems in social or work settings. Start conversations at inappropriate times.
You may have a few of the above symptoms but don't worry few of the normal population may have the same problem.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Penchila Prasad Kandikattu , Internal Medicine Specialist
