Adult ADHD
What is Adult ADHD?
Adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interfere with daily functioning. Although ADHD is commonly associated with children, it often continues into adulthood, impacting various aspects of life, including work, relationships, and self-esteem. Adults with ADHD may struggle with time management, organization, and maintaining focus, leading to challenges in personal and professional settings.
What are the symptoms of Adult ADHD
Symptoms of adult ADHD can vary in severity and may manifest differently than in children. Common symptoms include:
- Inattention: – Difficulty paying attention to details or making careless mistakes in work or other activities.
- Hyperactivity: – Difficulty engaging in quiet, sedentary activities, preferring constant movement or activity.
- Impulsivity: – Acting without thinking, leading to risky behaviors or sudden decisions.
What are the types of Adult ADHD?
Adult ADHD is generally classified into three types based on the predominant symptoms:
- Predominantly Inattentive Presentation: Individuals with this type primarily exhibit symptoms of inattention, such as difficulty sustaining attention, forgetfulness, and disorganization. They may appear easily distracted and have trouble following through with tasks.
- Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Presentation: This type is characterized by symptoms of hyperactivity and impulsivity, such as restlessness, excessive talking, and difficulty waiting for turns. Adults with this presentation may engage in impulsive decision-making and risk-taking behaviors.
- Combined Presentation: The most common type, where individuals exhibit a combination of both inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms. This presentation reflects a broader range of challenges affecting attention, behavior, and impulse control.
