ADHD
ADHD is frequently a lifelong condition yet symptoms in adults and adolescents may be different and/or less noticeable than those in children. These differences may dramatically affect the adult's perception of well being, accomplishment, and relationships.
Do you feel that you have been struggling for years to get your life together? Feeling like you are always late, or overwhelmed, not completing tasks, losing things, trouble organizing or underachieving? Is sleep troubled? Do you endure social anxiety and intense mood swings? Many people with Adult Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) have sought a diagnosis or treatment for years but have either been misdiagnosed or not adequately treated.
ADHD may appear differently in adulthood
For example, symptoms of hyperactivity in children, such as climbing or running excessively, may appear in adults as a feeling of restlessness. Additionally, ADHD can have a dramatic effect on emotional regulation in adults that may result in situational frustration, disinterest, insecurities, irritability and anger.
Evaluation, diagnosis, and treatments may help.
For some adults, understanding a diagnosis of ADHD allows them to understand the reasons for their tendencies, and treatment will often help them to deal with their problems more effectively.
