Unlikely: If you did not have symptoms of ADHD as a child and have not experienced a brain injury or infection, it is unlikely you have ADHD. Consult your doctor to determine if you have a medical issue like hyperthyroidism, that can mimic ADHD symptoms. You should also explore depression, anxiety and other emotional issues that can present with similar symptoms.
