Do you go “all in” in anything from gardening to Excel filing or studies?

Do you eat so fast that you don’t realize that you are already full, and find yourself panting on the couch with unbuttoned jeans? Is it difficult to stop eating when something is forbidden, or do you never feel any desire for food?

For years, professionals regarded ADHD as a “childhood disorder primarily affecting young boys.” Although research and diagnosis of adults with ADHD have increased over the past twenty years, it has not been the case for older adults.
