ADHD 'masking' may help people blend in but harms mental health, say researchers

It can be incredibly difficult for adults with ADHD to fit in socially. But trying to hide the telltale signs of ADHD could cost their mental health and well-being, a study says. Adults with ADHD might better fit in if they pretend to pay attention, suppress their urge to fidget, rehearse conversations or over-prepare for meetings, researchers said.
