ADHD Wise Squirrels

Did you know an undiagnosed and untreated adult with ADHD can have up to a 13-year LESS life expectancy? We include a free ADHD test at wisesquirrels dot com. A comprehensive new study suggests that 3.1 percent of adults are affected by #ADHD. This translates to nearly 8 million individuals among the 258.3 million adults in the United States. In the United Kingdom, with a population of 67.8 million adults, this figure surpasses 2 million. Similarly, among the 29.6 million adults in Canada, over 915,200 are estimated to live with ADHD. Symptoms of adult ADHD can include: • Inattention: Difficulty focusing on tasks or sustaining attention on activities. • Hyperactivity: Restlessness, fidgeting, or feeling constantly "on the go." • Impulsivity: Acting without considering consequences, interrupting others, or making hasty decisions. • Disorganization: Difficulty with organization, time management, and completing tasks. • Forgetfulness: Forgetting appointments, losing items, or frequently switching between tasks. • Poor emotional regulation: Struggling to control emotions, mood swings, and difficulty coping with stress. • Procrastination: Putting off tasks until the last minute despite knowing the importance of completing them. • Difficulty with prioritization: Trouble determining which tasks are most important or struggling to complete tasks in a logical order. • Impaired self-esteem: Feeling frustrated or inadequate due to struggles with ADHD symptoms. • Relationship difficulties: Challenges in personal relationships due to communication issues, forgetfulness, or impulsivity. If you feel like you could have ADHD, try our free test at wisesquirrels dot com. Regardless of those findings, speak with your doctor or a healthcare professional who can help diagnose you.
