What is ADHD?
ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects both children and adults. It impacts the ability to focus, control impulses, and regulate energy levels. ADHD is diagnosed through a comprehensive assessment involving medical history, behavioral observations, and possibly neuropsychological testing.
If you or a loved one exhibits symptoms of ADHD, consulting with a healthcare provider is crucial. Effective management strategies can significantly improve daily functioning and quality of life.
Types of ADHD
Inattentive Presentation
People with this type often struggle to stay focused, follow detailed instructions, or organize tasks. They may seem to listen but have difficulty processing information and are easily distracted. Because they are not typically disruptive.
01
Hyperactive-Impulsive Presentation
This type is marked by excessive energy, fidgeting, and impulsive behaviors. Individuals may find it hard to stay seated, wait their turn, or think before acting. This hyperactivity and impulsivity can sometimes lead to accidents.
02
Combined Presentation
When someone shows significant symptoms of both inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity for at least six months, they are diagnosed with the Combined Type. This is the most common form of ADHD and often requires a more comprehensive treatment.
03
ADHD in Adults
ADHD is not just a childhood condition; many adults live with undiagnosed ADHD. In adults, hyperactivity may appear as restlessness or difficulty relaxing, and inattentiveness may lead to problems at work or in personal relationships. Adult ADHD often goes unnoticed because the symptoms can be mistakenly attributed to stress or lifestyle factors.
Context-Dependent ADHD
Some individuals show ADHD symptoms only in certain environments, like school or work, where focus and structure are highly demanded. In more flexible or supportive settings, their symptoms may be less noticeable. This can sometimes complicate diagnosis but highlights the importance of understanding ADHD within the context of daily life.
