When people hear ADHD, many picture someone who is physically hyperactive.
But for many girls and adults with ADHD, that isn't the case. Instead, their
minds feel constantly busy. When I first heard the phrase "a hyperactive
mind," it clicked. My thoughts jump from one thing to another, making it
hard to stay focused. This kind of hyperactivity is invisible, but it's
a real part of ADHD for many people.
