Common Impacts of ADHD Impulsivity

Описание: Impulsivity and ADHD are closely related; sometimes they are co-occurring, and sometimes you can have impulsivity without also having ADHD and vice versa. Impulsivity in someone diagnosed with ADHD usually shows up as actions without thinking or planning. This person may speak over you or out of turn, make poor decisions, and/or take unnecessary risks. Sometimes impulsivity can be a good thing, like when you need to think fast and come up with a quick solution to a problem, but for the most part, impulsive behaviors can put you in unnecessary risky situations.
