What Is ADHD?
About ADHD
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder which expresses itself in childhood, can transition into adulthood and is now considered a lifelong condition.
The core symptoms are hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattention.
Types of ADHD are combined type, inattentive type and hyperactive/impulsive type.
Why Do Adults Suffer From ADHD?
ADHD must express itself in childhood to fulfil the criteria for diagnosis in adulthood. Depending on the severity of ADHD in childhood these symptoms transition into adulthood.
Equally, some children can grow “out of symptoms” and no longer have symptoms in adulthood or symptoms are less troublesome.
How Is ADHD Characterised?
ADHD is characterised by symptoms of hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattention. Symptoms, noticeable as early as 3 years of age, include difficulty concentrating, forgetfulness, restlessness, acting on impulse, and problems with danger awareness.
In adulthood these symptoms may express themselves differently, more prominent or less severe and can have a negative impact on your functioning and daily life resulting in low confidence and self-esteem.
How Can It Be Treated?
Before treatment, you will need an assessment by an ADHD Specialist to determine if you or your child has ADHD or not. If you do, then the first line treatment is potentially medication, along side breathwork therapy, psychotherapy, and wellness coaching.
Can I Overcome ADHD?
ADHD can be a lifelong condition for some and can be successfully treated, allowing you to live a meaningful life with family and loved ones. If you are just interested to know if you would benefit from and ADHD assessment, take our self-screening quiz.
