When you think of ADHD, you probably think of an inability to concentrate and starting several projects that never quite get finished. And while these can be symptoms of ADHD, psychiatric DNP Kojo Sarfo, who goes by @dr.kojosarfo [8] on TikTok, shared an enlightening video of what it's like to live with ADHD.

In the video, Dr. Kojo points out that living with ADHD can include spending hours searching for misplaced items, feeling overwhelmed with a to-do list, and paying attention to the wrong things. Fortunately, he points out that treatment is available and can help improve quality of life. Watch his informative TikTok above, and if you think you are experiencing symptoms of ADHD, make sure you reach out to a mental health expert such as a psychologist, psychiatrist, or licenced therapist.
