Do you often feel you're not reaching your potential?

It's a common feeling among adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Although many adults with ADHD have above-average intelligence, they may feel they have underachieved in terms of academic and/or professional success. Many also report difficulties in their personal relationships.^2,3

Overall, there's a general feeling of dissatisfaction—a nagging sense that they are not realizing their potential.³

Of course, many adults go for years—often the majority of their lives—not knowing they have ADHD. They assume, as many people do, that ADHD is a "kid's" condition. When they finally learn that they do have ADHD—now a medically recognized condition in adults—they often experience an "a-ha!" moment, feeling relieved to understand the source of their life-long concerns. Sometimes it's not until a child is diagnosed with ADHD that the parent realizes they may have ADHD as well.

ADHD tends to run in families.^3,5 So, when one family member is diagnosed, you may want to look for symptoms of ADHD in other family members.
