    This document presents a cognitive behavioral model of ADHD in adults. The model shows that adults with ADHD often experience neuropsychological deficits that can lead to educational and occupational failures as well as relationship difficulties. When faced with challenging situations or tasks, adults with ADHD may fail due to impulsivity or inattention. However, resilience, self-belief, and positive cognitive appraisal can help lead to success despite negative thoughts and feelings that may also be present.
