If most answers were “sometimes” and “most of the time”, it might be time to take a closer look at how your ADHD might be better managed.

Do you find your ADHD gets worse in the evening?

By evening, do you struggle with tasks and chores or does keeping your home organized feel overwhelming? (e.g., do you often feel too mentally drained to complete household tasks like dishes, paying bills, laundry, or meal prep?)

Is it a challenge to maintain focus during conversations, watching TV, or while reading?

Do you have difficulty with relationships at home and/or with friends? (e.g., ignoring friends in a social situation or friends/family being frustrated with you?)

Do you struggle with self-control/self-regulation in the evenings? (e.g. easily frustrated, losing temper, online shopping, gambling, substance use?)

If most answers were “sometimes” and “most of the time”, it might be time to take a closer look at how your ADHD might be better managed.

  4. When my evenings feel hectic or I get irritable, should I keep track of it, like writing it down in a symptom diary?
