FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ADHD
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition linked with inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. ADHD typically arises in childhood and continues through adolescence and adulthood; many people with ADHD aren’t diagnosed until adulthood.
ADHD can have a negative impact on your child’s school performance, self-esteem, and social interactions, resulting in difficulties forming friendship bonds and ongoing behavioral problems. Early diagnosis and intervention can make a significant impact on your child’s learning and emotional well-being.
Every individual with a diagnosis of ADHD experiences symptoms differently. Symptoms are usually more severe in children than adults, but ADHD can interfere with school or work performance, self-confidence, and personal relationships no matter the age of the patient. ADHD symptoms fall within three categories: inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.
Examples of inattention include:
- Poor executive function
- Disorganization
- Difficulty listening
- Avoiding mentally demanding tasks
- Losing necessary items
- Losing focus before completing a task
Examples of hyperactivity include:
- Fidgeting
- Constant movement
- Excessive talking
- Difficulty remaining quiet during tasks
Examples of impulsivity include:
- Making fast decisions
- Risk-taking behavior
- Interrupting
- Constant motion
ADHD is associated with a variety of co-occurring mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders, learning disorders, sleep disorders, and substance abuse.
Because it can occur along with other conditions, it’s essential to have a trained and experienced mental health provider perform an ADHD assessment for you or your child.
