How does ADHD affect daily life?

For adults with ADHD, like Simon Pegg, symptoms can include difficulty with organisation, time management, and emotional regulation. Impulsivity, such as the car incident Pegg experienced, is also a common manifestation. These challenges can impact work, relationships, and self-esteem, often leading to feelings of frustration or 'character fault'.
