Doctor reveals 3 signs you’ll spot in everyone with ADHD
ADHD diagnoses are rising, with 1 in 19 UK adults now identified as having the condition. Psychiatrist Dr Ali Ajaz highlights three key symptoms: chronic procrastination, where even simple tasks feel overwhelming until panic sets in; frequent anxiety and depression, as undiagnosed adults often feel “different” without understanding why; and gut issues like IBS, linked to inflammation in the brain-gut connection.
Women in particular may overlook ADHD signs, as symptoms often differ from stereotypical hyperactivity. Diagnosis involves a GP referral, specialist assessment, and potentially medication. With growing awareness, more adults are recognizing lifelong struggles as ADHD rather than personal failures, leading to better support and treatment options.
