ADHD is commonly thought to be a childhood struggle and is rarely taken seriously in adulthood. Many people think that adults “grow out” of the condition as they mature. Many adults, 38% of which are women, still continue to fight their ADHD so that they are able to live a normal life and keep a career.

People with ADHD don’t just find it challenging to concentrate on activities they’re not interested in but are important for them to get done (e.g. finishing homework), it’s also especially hard for them to stop focusing on activities they are interested in (e.g. playing a video game).
