Common Symptoms of ADD ( ADHD )

Poor Self-esteem

Untreated or undiagnosed would lead to poor self-esteem because many people with this condition tend to internalize some negative ideas when they grow up. Since they usually have difficulties with interpersonal relationships, remembering things, or completing tasks, they might believe that they are irresponsible, stupid, defective, inconsistent, and lazy. Also, they would make comparisons with friends or colleagues, as well as criticize themselves for some minor differences. This might lead to bipolar disorder, eating disorders and depression in more severe cases. [7]
