Being an adult in the 21st century isn't an easy job. You're navigating careers, family, saving for retirement, deciding where to live, and at this point, a global pandemic. Do you know what's even more complicated? Surviving adulthood with Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention or excessive activity, and impulsivity. ADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders, and 5% of the world has some kind of version of it. Many of us remember the "hyper kid" growing up, but it can be a lot more than just having an abundance of energy. Living with ADHD can make functioning at school and work extremely difficult.

For me, my struggle with ADHD is mainly about having my thoughts wander when I should be focusing on more important things like a school project or getting through my inbox, but instead, I end up watching hours of cat videos on YouTube.
