Is it true people who have ADHD are more likely to end up in divorce?

[Alwayreckles93]

I read this article it said people with ADHD are more likely to end up divorce when the wife or husband can't be patient about how our brains work.

[Gent207]

I have A. D. D and a Bachelor's in Psychology, there are numerous factors other than mental health that influence the odds of divorce.
Your ex was a real bastard for holding your ADHD against you. Your soulmate will be patient and gracious to you because they see your value and worth.
So keep working on becoming Mrs. Right and in the process you will hopefully find Mr. Or Mrs. Right too.
No shame, no hate

Intuitively, that seems that it would work like that.

i mean, anyone can get divorced. but i personally wouldn't blame ADHD on it.

[RealMarek]

Maybe, but this just means that a person with ADHD needs to find a spouse who is kind and understanding.

[Alwayreckles93]

Your absolutely right Sir. My ex was very impatient with me. For example in conversation I am always playing with my hair or touching my face people at times that used to get my ex upset. Fidgeting is something that we can't control.

[RealMarek]

Your ex was horrible to you. I believe he would have betrayed you no matter what, and ADHD had nothing to do with it.

[Alwayreckles93]

I see your point he knew about my condition when we went in dates. My brain just works differently.

[RealMarek]

Exactly. The bad things he did were not your fault and based on what you have described previously I don’t believe you could have done anything to prevent him from ruining the marriage. Please try to have peace of mind about this.

[Alwayreckles93]

I see what you mean sir. At times I do believe it was my fault or think what could I have done better. In person I am a bubbly happy person.

I don't have the necessary attention span to properly answer this question.

[Alwayreckles93]

No worries

[cloud9vortex1234]

Not sure, but it actually makes sense. If you find somebody who likes you for your ADHD were there not being patient but instead accepting and embracing it then a lot of that could be avoided. Of course, it's much easier said than done even more so with people being so impatient these days.

Likely true.

[big_ben_007]

I hope its not true

[Alwayreckles93]

Do you have ADHD?

[big_ben_007]

I haven't been examined or diagnosed by a doctor but I'm pretty sure i have a hyperactive disorder and times where i feel anxiety and depression.

[Alwayreckles93]

You can always get tested. I got tested at age 19. It helps for the work place to provide the accommodations.

[big_ben_007]

Very true. I'm getting a new job next week with Medical, Dental, Vision and Life Insurance benefits. I'll be able to get so much work done on me that ima be a new person lol

Seems plausible.
