ADHD tips, information & advice

If you find it hard to focus (especially when there’s lots of background noise), are forgetful or find yourself frequently losing things, are particularly fidgety, or find that you’re constantly restless, you could have ADHD.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a condition that can either cause inattention or hyperactivity. People with hyperactive ADHD might be restless, impulsive and have difficulty waiting, while those with inattentive-type ADHD might find it difficult to stay focused, and may be forgetful and disorganized. Everyone has different symptoms but one thing that’s common across both types of ADHD is the struggle to focus in noisy environments that are full of distractions.

Despite an ever-increasing knowledge and awareness of ADHD, there are still common misconceptions about the condition. ADHD doesn’t just affect kids – many kids and adults alike have ADHD. Having ADHD doesn’t mean that you’re lazy or unintelligent – it simply means that your brain’s wired differently. Plus, while some people think that the only way to manage ADHD is with medication, this isn’t the case. There are lots of coping strategies you can try to manage your symptoms and find your focus.

Whether you have an ADHD diagnosis, suspect you have ADHD, or have a loved one with the condition, we’ve gathered together all the information and ADHD focus tips you need to know, right here in one place.
