Beyond Distraction: The Broad Impact of Untreated ADHD on Life

by Cynthia Hammer, MSW, Author of the book, Living with Inattentive ADHD

        In my next several blogs I will provide the findings from research about the various life domains where (untreated) ADHD usually causes significant problems in a person’s life. 

As they say, problems with inattention and distractibility are only the tip of the iceberg.  ADHD can effect many aspects of life.  

Although the list of potential concerns is daunting, it is helpful to know what we are up against and to celebrate our resilience and fortitude as we overcome our challenges.  

Unfortunately, like most research on ADHD, it doesn’t separate out those with Inattentive ADHD.  Some of the problems commonly cited for ADHD,  you won’t experience if you have Inattentive ADHD, however, you will have other problems to make up for it. :) .
