Millions of U.S. adults have ADHD. It can cause problems at home, in relationships, and impact careers. 

"The people will 1get in trouble at work. They may get 2reprimanded for not completing assignments. They may have trouble in their social life."

Adults with ADHD may 3be tempted to take unnecessary risks. They may have difficulty waiting in line or driving in heavy traffic, feel 4restlessand unable to 5sit through certain activities. They may frequently shift their bodies or tap fingers or feet, or have 6mood swings like a 7quick temper or low stress 8tolerance. 

"Symptoms of 9inattention and poor 10concentration can be due to a whole host of other 11disorders."

That's why psychiatrist Claudine Egol with Mayo Clinic says to see a primary care doctor or mental health professional if you suspect ADHD symptoms. While there's no 12definitive test to 13diagnose it in adults, she says, there are ways to lessen its impact. 

"Routine, routine, routine is everything for somebody with ADHD."

Manage your time. Use a planner, calendar, or app to help create reminders. 14Organize your tasks. Divide big jobs into smaller steps you can check off. And ask for help from family members and friends when you feel less 15motivated or 16overwhelmed. In the office, use storage systems to keep your desk organized and clear. You may also try using headphones or earplugs to block out 17distracting noises.
