Word of warning: the key word for many ADHD (and other mental disorders) is the word “often”. Most people forget where they left their keys or wallet, most people ramble from time to time, and most people feel rejected from constructive criticism from time to time. When it happens so frequently it becomes a hindrance to day to day life and significantly decreases performance and quality of life when compared to other, seemingly “normal” people, that’s when it might be time to book an appointment with the doctor.
