7Forgetfulness

It is normal for people to forget unimportant things frequently. However, forgetfulness can be a part of daily life in many adults with ADHD. This would include regularly forgetting where they have stored an important document or which important deadlines they need to meet. In some cases, this symptom could be insignificant but annoying; in other cases, it would be serious. In the long term, forgetfulness might ruin relationships and careers as others could think that they are not intelligent enough or careless. [7]
