6. Excessive activity or restlessness
You may feel as if your internal motor won’t turn off as an adult with ADHD. When you can’t do anything right away, your desire to keep moving and doing things can lead to frustration. Restlessness follows, which can lead to frustration and anxiety. Anxiety is a common symptom of adult ADHD, as the mind tends to replay troubling events over and over again. Fidgeting is a physical indicator of restlessness and anxiety in adults, just like it is in toddlers. Adults with ADHD may move around a lot, tap their hands or feet, shift in their seats, or have trouble sitting still.
