hamlet,,, has adhd
- hyperfocuses (his mother’s remarriage, his father’s death; both are topics he regularly returns to, even when they don’t have anything to do with the topic being discussed)
- forgetfulness (doesn’t seem to remember how long his father has been dead for, keeps changing the length of time when he talks about it)
- easily distracted (often stops mid-sentence and rapidly moves on to a new, completely unrelated topic)
- frequent and compulsive talking, often hyperfixating on one specific point (see: all his soliloquies)
- low tolerance for frustration
- restless
- often gives the appearance of not listening; has actually heard and internalised every word
- interrupts and intrudes on others’ conversations
- mood swings
- insomnia (although this could be a side-effect of his grief over his father’s death)
- depression (again, though, see above)
- poor self-image
