You are often in a world of your own, lose your belongings, forget your appointments, but you have never been hyperactive? You may have ADD, or ADHD with predominantly inattentive presentation. In adults, it often goes unnoticed. Here is how to recognise it. Recognising it helps you better understand your journey and move forward.
ADD is not accompanied by visible restlessness. The adult seems dreamy, disorganised, slow. Their difficulties are often attributed to their character. This discreet disorder deserves just as much attention.
We explain this point in detail in What is ADD.
