The Truth About Your Lack of Focus and Hyperactivity

If you think ADHD only affects kids, think again. About 10 million adults have the disorder. Here's what you need to know.

Don't most people just outgrow ADHD? Nope. The condition tends to stick around through adulthood, and it can be sneaky, too, because your symptoms may change as you get older.

Can fidget spinners help you focus? We don't know, but for now, experts say there's no proof these gadgets help you concentrate when you have ADHD.

Doesn't everyone who has trouble focusing have ADHD? No. The inattention that ADHD can bring on is severe enough to take a toll on your career or social life.

Is it safe to try ADHD meds for help concentrating if you don't have ADHD? No. It's always dangerous to misuse prescription drugs. If you're having trouble focusing, talk to your doctor. He can recommend safe ways to boost your focus like eating tips, better sleep habits, or mindfulness techniques.
