ADHD is an incredibly prevalent condition, impacting an estimated 11 million adults in the United States. Because symptoms in adults are often invisible, ADHD can easily go overlooked in the workplace and create far-reaching implications for employees, managers, and company culture.
The condition isn’t new by any means, but changes in awareness and treatment over the last few years have put extra pressure on people who have ADHD. Awareness and diagnoses have risen steadily over the past few decades — reports of adult ADHD rose 123% between 2007 and 2016, and some studies suggest that rate has further increased since the pandemic began.
