The symptoms of ADHD include forgetfulness, emotional instability, and impulsiveness could cause problems at work, at home and even in relationships. Adults with ADHD are able to hide their symptoms. This is in contrast to children who have noticeable and obvious symptoms. This can lead to misdiagnosis and a lack of treatment. Inattention and lack of attention While many people think of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) as a childhood problem, two-thirds of those diagnosed with the condition continue to experience it into adulthood. Untreated ADHD can cause a number of problems, such as financial difficulties, poor performance at work, relationship issues as well as car accidents and abuse of substances. The most significant issue with untreated ADHD in adults is a lack of attention, which makes it difficult to follow instructions, complete tasks and keep track of personal and professional commitments. Untreated ADHD can make it difficult for people to listen attentively. This can result in miscommunications at home and at work as well as missed opportunities. Having untreated ADHD can also cause difficulty in dealing with the emotions and experiences that come with it that can cause impulsive behavior as well as rapid mood swings. Adults who are not treated for ADHD have trouble controlling their emotions. This can lead to issues with family and friends. They could be at a higher risk of developing bipolar disorder and other mood disorders, such as depression and anxiety. A lack of access to healthcare and a limited number of treatment options can hinder diagnosis and treatment of ADHD in adults.
