Living with adult ADHD can feel overwhelming, confusing, and at times isolating. At Wholesome Psychology, we understand the unique ways attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) impacts adults in their careers, relationships, and overall quality of life. Our ADHD counseling in Edmonton and St. Albert provides personalized, evidence-based support to help you manage symptoms, build on your strengths, and lead a fulfilling life.

What Is Adult ADHD?

ADHD isn't just a childhood diagnosis; many adults experience ongoing challenges with focus, organization, impulse control, and emotional regulation. Left unaddressed, these struggles can affect professional success, self-esteem, relationships, and day-to-day functioning.

• Chronic forgetfulness or difficulty remembering tasks and appointments
• Feeling restless, easily distracted, or constantly “on the go”
• Procrastination, difficulty prioritizing, or trouble finishing projects
• Sensitivity to criticism and frequent mood swings
• Struggles with time management and organization

If these symptoms sound familiar, you are not alone—and support is available. Learn more about ADHD in adults and how therapy can help.

How to Recognize Undiagnosed ADHD in Adults

Many adults in Edmonton and St. Albert struggle with ADHD symptoms for years before receiving a formal diagnosis. It’s never too late to seek support. Common signs that may indicate undiagnosed ADHD include:

• Sensation of being overwhelmed even by small daily tasks
• Emotional outbursts, frustration, or low tolerance for stress

If you recognize yourself in these challenges, ADHD counseling can help you understand your experience, process your emotions, and discover solutions that work for your unique brain.
