Although thought of as a childhood disorder Add and Adhd does not go away in adulthood. You either learn to control it's effects or it effects you. Adults get less hyperactive as they age. But, the attention deficit is still there. It becomes your personality. As Billy Joel put it " An Angry Young Man". Add/Adhd symptoms can mimic life. Everyone may show some sign of each of them at times in their life. An Adult with Attention Deficit Disorder will show more than s few symptoms all the time.
Here are some signs of ADD Attention Deficit Disorder in Adults.
Impulsive
Easily Distracted
Angry outbursts
Lateness
Procrastinate
Losing things
Unorganized
Poor listening skills
Marital problems

Addiction
Lack of focus
Trouble getting up
Recklessness

Years of not dealing with Add could lead to other problems that only make things worse.
Unknowingly self medicating addictions : caffeine,sugar, over eating, drugs, sex and yes even rock and roll. That's why my happy place is a Rock And Roll fantasy world.
Depression, anxiety, panic, stress, as well as physical problem all these things may bring on as one gets older.
It's a tangled life we lead. You either deal with it or you don't!
