Dear Annie: Husband’s procrastination could signal undiagnosed ADHD
Dec 21, 2024
Dear Annie: This is in response to “Tired of Waiting,” whose husband will not stop procrastinating. One of the hallmark symptoms of ADHD is procrastination. Many people with ADHD struggle with planning and carrying things out (known as executive function), which forces them to make a decision at the very last minute when there is no other choice. It may be worth it for the husband who is a chronic procrastinator to consult with a clinician skilled in the diagnosis of ADHD. I hope her husband is able to get help, as it will benefit both of them. -- A Reader From Ohio
