Adult ADHD

Adult ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity in adults, often continuing from childhood. Symptoms may include difficulty focusing, disorganization, forgetfulness, restlessness, and trouble following through on tasks. Adults with ADHD might also experience problems in work, relationships, and daily life.
ADHD in adults is often underdiagnosed because symptoms can be mistaken for stress, anxiety, or other mental health issues. It can impact professional life, personal relationships, and overall well-being.
Treatment involves a combination of lifestyle changes, and medications such as stimulants or non-stimulants. Recognizing the condition and getting proper support can significantly help in managing symptoms and improving quality of life.
