ADHD can cause people to struggle with their concentration while it can also cause restlessness, among other things

 

The BBC Radio 2 presenter, 53, whose son Woody also has the condition, said her ADHD caused her to have a ‘meltdown’ while filming an upcoming episode of Taskmaster as she struggled to deal with the mental arithmetic involved in one of the tasks.

She told the Daily Mirror: ‘My brain is just all over the goddamn shop.

‘I am ADHD. My son [Woody] and I are both, we’re quite similar. I make myself laugh sometimes because if I’m in a small space and I’ve got loads of tasks to do, I can cover so many miles.

‘My family, they laugh because they’ll find things of mine in certain places and they’re like, “If you follow this, you’ll see what Mum was trying to achieve”.

‘I have 18 pairs of glasses and I will still lose all of them… my brain is just all over the goddamn shop.’

On her Taskmaster appearance, she added: ‘So a particular task involved a bit of timing, which is maths, which is, again, not a strength, I physically started to melt down. That did hurt my head.’

The symptoms of ADHD include restlessness and difficulty concentrating, as well as excessive physical moving, talking and acting without thinking.

Symptoms of ADHD typically appear at an early age and become more noticeable as a child grows.

The majority of cases are diagnosed in children under the age of 12 but some people are not diagnosed until adulthood.

According to the NHS, the causes of ADHD are not known but the condition has been shown to run in families.

Earlier this year she contacted COVID, the radio presenter took to social media on Sunday (29th January 2023) to reveal she won’t be hosting her breakfast show after contracting COVID.

On Twitter, Ball shared an image of herself with a germ emoji over her face alongside Rylan Clark and Kay and wrote alongside: “So I’ve got covid… but the good news is ya man @vernonkay is looking after y’all @BBCRadio2. Back soon.”

 

WHAT IS ADHD?

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a behavioral condition defined by inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness.

 ADHD is a brain disorder that affects how you pay attention, sit still, and control your behavior. It happens in children and teens and can continue into adulthood.

It can’t be prevented or cured. But spotting it early, plus having a good treatment and education plan, can help a child or adult with ADHD manage their symptoms and make day-to-day life easier.

The symptoms of ADHD are inattention (not being able to keep focus), hyperactivity (excess movement that is not fitting to the setting), and impulsivity (hasty acts that occur at the moment without thought).

ADHD is considered a chronic and debilitating disorder and is known to impact the individual in many aspects of their life including academic and professional achievements, interpersonal relationships, and daily functioning. It also includes:
  • Constant fidgeting
  • Poor concentration
  • Excessive movement or talking
  • Acting without thinking
  • Inability to deal with stress
  • Little or no sense of danger
  • Careless mistakes
  • Mood swings
  • Forgetfulness
  • Difficulty organizing tasks
  • Continually starting new tasks before finishing old ones
  • Inability to listen or carry out instructions

ADHD’s exact cause is unclear but is thought to involve genetic mutations that affect a person’s brain function and structure.

Premature babies and those with epilepsy or brain damage are more at risk.

ADHD is also linked to anxiety, depression, insomnia, Tourette’s and epilepsy.
