A member asked:
Can adhd cause emotional immaturity?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Individuals with adhd may have a problem with impulsivity which may be mistaken for emotional immaturity. Being unable to understand directions may make a person seem immature. Being overwhelmed by environmental stimuli may make a person seem immature. Accompanying adhd may be a slow speed of mental processing, making following conversations in a group difficult and making responses delayed.
