Until the mid-80s, it was believed that ADHD or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder was outgrown by the time the child hit adolescence.

But we now know that many children go on to carry the condition into adulthood and for some, pretty much their whole lives.

In fact, all adults suffer from some degree of ADHD, whose symptoms include distractibility, impulsivity, inattention, difficulty staying focused on tasks, having many projects going on at one time and rarely completing any of them, irritability, difficulty falling asleep and difficulty waking up.

These symptoms, in minor manifestations may not impair your ability to lead a normal life, but they can definitely reduce your quality of life.

Many adults who display minor indications of ADHD do not realize they are suffering from mild ADHD and do not seek treatment or do anything to rectify the problem.

So if you believe you may be suffering from mild ADHD or the symptoms of ADHD, do seek professional prognosis.

Even if you don't suffer from the condition as medically-defined, you might still display some of the symptoms which may affect your ability to lead a happy and successful life.

One of the consequences of ADHD symptoms is the accumulation of useless information in your brain. If you find difficulty staying focused and are distracted easily, this means your brain probably stores a lot of information that doesn't get cleared.

Mental clutter needs to be cleared, and here are some ways you can do this. Now a great way to unclog the passageways of your mind is to transfer your mental thoughts onto something tangible, like paper, or for most of us these days, a computer screen.

Journaling or the penning of your feelings is a good subject, but it could also be a To-Do List, or a letter to someone whom you feel you can confide in about something.
Once your thoughts are put out in tactile form, the brain can finally let go of them.

Many people with ADHD are "verbal processors." This means that they often work through thoughts and feelings by talking about them. So if you think you might be suffering from some symptoms of ADHD, don't keep quiet! Babble about it!

Getting a friend or objective person to listen to you is great, but it's the act of talking that helps, so talking to yourself, talking to your plant, or your pet works too!

Mental clutter can also often be cleared by physical movement or exercise. Fitness fans who claim to achieve mental clarity by jogging or doing yoga and so on are not lying one bit. An inactive body often encourages the mind to brood and wander, but a moving body frees up the mind to let go of unnecessary or constricting thoughts.
