Heart disease claims a life in the U.S. every 37 seconds.

Research from the American Heart Association has found that nearly half of all adults in the U.S. have some form of cardiovascular disease.

Do you find yourself shifting from one task to another without completing either one?

Or, do you routinely get lost in a conversation and forget what the other person was saying?

After realizing that you almost missed your son’s soccer game, it dawns on you that you forgot to stop by the store to grab collard greens for tonight’s dinner or add tofu to your grocery delivery order for tomorrow’s lunch.

You have also noticed that you are more impatient with others and easily irritated.

There’s also the fact that you keep losing your work badge, which you now need three days a week after working remotely for the past four years.

If you can identify with one or more of these scenarios, you may be a part of a growing number of Americans who have adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Rates of adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or adult ADHD, have been climbing in recent years, though data is lacking and often self-reported.

Cases skyrocketed during the COVID-19 pandemic; however, some experts wonder if this is due to over-diagnosis.
