More than 366 million adults worldwide have ADHD. While an estimated 6 million children have been diagnosed in America alone. ADHD is a neuro-developmental disorder. And it’s no laughing matter. If not managed properly, it can impact your daily life, and lead to long-term struggles with school, work or relationships.
That said, laughter can sometimes be good medicine. Which is maybe why Insta page ADHD Meme Therapy has managed to clock up over 1.3 million followers. The Iranian behind the account describes himself as "your friendly neighborhood Meme Therapist". As someone who has been diagnosed with both ADHD and mild depression, he knows a thing or two about mental health struggles. Try your best to focus, and keep scrolling for Bored Panda's best picks from the page.

Isn't this just everyone? And isn't waiting until the other person is finished politeness?
not me pre-planning all possible outcomes and responses for a conversation I'm about to have
I can't even remember how many 'tricks' people insisted would make me deal with my AD(H)D so much better but didn't work at all. Must at least be a hundred....
I recently got into the game Hades. Now I’m juggling that with a bunch of other special interests while trying to encourage myself to study and take care of my responsibilities, feeling like that one meme of the mom with unruly children on a leash.
Yep. Until one day, out of the blue, you just don't want it anymore, and the thought of eating it again makes you feel nauseous.
Like this very minute I should be in bed sleeping but instead I am scrolling thru these to see which ones fit my ADHD diagnosis....
I was going to post a funny comment, but I'll do it tomorrow.
Hear, smell and see. My mom can hear, smell and see what nobody else can and it all annoys her to no end. We made fun of her as kids that she could moonlight as a police dog. She can’t sleep when there’s tiniest LED diode in the room or hum of fan running on lowest speed in another room.
And my subconscious brain usually picks it up and I can remember what they said as soon as they start repeating it again for me 😭
This is the wierdest symptom of ADHD, the one the fewest people know about: dehydration. My mouth used to break out with the most painful, most numerous canker sores, and it turned out to be dehydration at the root of it. Thirst is a REALLY easy sense to ignore when you're preoccupied, and with ADHD, there's no part of the brain that says, "Hey... shouldn't we drink some time around now?"
It’s basically a sensory overload. Stars almighty, they suck. Mine are triggered by bright lights, but then I feel tired and distracted when it’s too dark.
Uhm, you do know that when non-ADHDers take Adderall it does the complete opposite of what it does to those who need it?
My mom has ADHD and I can guarantee she was never late because she was sitting on the bed. She is late already but the washing machine needs loading and the spill she was about to wipe and forgot about 10x need wiping right now and now her blouse is creased so she needs to change and actually she got sweaty and better shower again and and and…. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her sit down and relax more than 10 minutes, it is possible she never sat down to make it through whole movie in her entire life. Something always needs doing first but she gets too distracted and nothing ever actually gets done.
“A jack of all trades is a master of none, but still better than a master of one”
but then you have to go to the bathroom and cant find the same comfortable position and cant sleep now>>>>
Not just with people! Books, shows, areas of study, new hobbies, etc.
Far too many of these are mixing up ADHD with Autism, Asperger's, Social Anxiety and a whole host of behavioural traits. All good fun, but does it actually trivialise the problems faced by genuine sufferers?
Probably because they all have so many overlapping traits but they all applied to adhd.
Load More Replies...Hmm, most of these seemed rather general. I'm autistic, but could relate to many - but it seems that part is maybe not the autism, but just *being human*, based on the rest of the comments.
Like I’ve explained twice before on this post, many people experience symptoms of ADHD every once in a while, but what sets ADHD apart is how OFTEN you experience these symptoms. People with ADHD experience them on a daily basis, and it can affect their quality of life.
