This can lead to feelings of being unorganized, behind, or irresponsible. Women with inattention ADHD are particularly adept at hiding their symptoms. This can make it difficult for them to receive an accurate diagnosis. They may have learned how to make up for their inability to remain organized by using coping strategies like self-denial or relying on other people or resorting to unhealthy behaviors like excessive alcohol or drug abuse. They may not even notice that they have a problem until they start to realize that they have a problem. They might have a list of embarrassing moments where they have embarrassed their friends or coworkers.

Hyperactivity Hyperactive ADHD can cause people to fidget in their seats, talk incessantly, or shake their heads. They may have trouble paying attention to what other people are talking about. They frequently interrupt or make statements they don't consider. They are easily distracted by irrelevant stimuli and tend to become bored by tasks that don't interest them.
