ADHD
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by a persistent pattern of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interferes with functioning or development. ADHD is defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), and affects both children and adults. The precise cause of ADHD is not fully understood but is believed to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurological factors. Diagnosis is based on comprehensive evaluation, which includes gathering detailed histories, behavior assessments, and meeting the criteria outlined in the DSM-5 to differentiate ADHD from other behavioral or psychological issues.
The ten most common symptoms of ADHD include difficulty sustaining attention, frequent daydreaming, problems with organization and time management, easily losing things, forgetfulness, distractibility, restlessness or excessive activity, interrupting others, impatience, and difficulty waiting for one's turn. These symptoms can manifest differently depending on the individual, influencing various aspects of life, including academic performance, work capabilities, and social interactions. Early identification and management of symptoms are crucial, as they aid in implementing effective interventions and strategies to support affected individuals in achieving their full potential.
Living with ADHD can lead to an unfocused, chaotic and under performing brain can leave you feeling helpless and overwhelmed. Life doesn’t have to be so difficult.
