Question by Jessica B: Can emotional restlessness or distress be symptom of adult ADHD?
I was diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago, but I havent made the connection to my emotional restlessness and ADHD. I read a few articles on adult ADHD and saw that that can be a symptom. I have racing thoughts, i look for emotional intensity as a means for excitement, and suffer from insecurity and low self esteem.
