Adult ADHD and ADD
What is ADHD/ADD?
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurobiological condition characterized by persistent distractibility, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. In adults, ADHD affects complex mental processes such as concentration, motivation, problem-solving, working memory, and sustained attention, making everyday life challenging.
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is a similar condition to ADHD, typically without the hyperactive symptoms, focusing more on attention difficulties.
Symptoms of Adult ADHD
Symptoms of adult ADHD typically emerge in childhood but may become less apparent with age and vary in severity. The symptoms experienced and the level of impairment caused by the condition are unique to each individual.
Do you:
- Struggle to concentrate for extended periods?
- Feel constantly hyperactive and restless?
- Experience difficulty with organization, planning, prioritizing tasks, and managing time?
- Have trouble multitasking and completing everyday tasks?
- Lack attention to detail?
- Display impulsive behavior due to a lack of patience?
- Find it challenging to make decisions?
- Have regular bouts of forgetfulness or mental fog?
- Struggle to focus?
These are some of the most commonly experienced symptoms of adult ADHD. In addition, individuals with ADHD may also face high levels of stress and anxiety, leading to low self-esteem and insecurity. Explaining these symptoms to others can be challenging, as they are often misunderstood as a lack of motivation.
