symptoms of add of Adult ADHD Are you always late to work or social occasions? Are you prone to forgetfulness or do not complete tasks at home? If yes, you could have undiagnosed ADHD. There are two types of ADHD: inattentive and hyperactive/impulsive. If you suffer from inattentive ADHD your symptoms are centered on your inability to stay organized and forgetful. 1. Disorganization A person with ADD might have trouble keeping work and school materials organized and manage time, complete tasks or meet deadlines. They may also be unable to locate or lose items needed for daily activities (e.g., keys, tools, books and wallets, eyeglasses, eyeglasses or cellphones). If a patient is experiencing these symptoms frequently the doctor may test them for ADD. The doctor can request the patient and family members for detailed information to help diagnose ADD. 2. Hyperactivity People suffering from ADD typically have trouble being seated or paying attention at work or at school. They may also have trouble keeping the track of their schedules and appointments. Sometimes they lose things or lose their keys, wallet or eyeglasses, papers, or mobile telephones. Their homes and workspaces may be messy or unorganized and they struggle to complete tasks that require continuous mental effort. They also have poor memory and are easily distracted. These are the signs of what was once known as ADD or Predominantly Inattentive Type ADHD. Children with hyperactive ADHD appear to be constantly moving as if “driven by a motor.” They are unable to sit still, particularly in classrooms that are centered on neurotypical expectations. They frequently run around or climb over things, even when it's not appropriate. They rush to answer questions before they are finished. They also have trouble waiting for their turn and often interrupt or intrude. These symptoms may lessen in adulthood or adolescence, but they will still be present. Adults may have a harder to recognize ADD symptoms, as they tend to be less obvious than those in children. However, family physicians are uniquely positioned to spot ADD in adults and start and monitor treatment, as well as refer their patients for mental health services if they are required. Moreover, in many cases family physicians are the first to recognize that a patient has difficulty concentrating on schoolwork or in business meetings, and they are unable to get organized. Through routine interviewing techniques and gathering precise information from the patient and their families, family physicians can help to confirm the ADD diagnosis and develop a comprehensive management plan. Here are some of the most common signs of adult ADD. 3. Attention Inattentive ADHD is characterized by difficulties focus and concentration, which can lead to difficulties at school or at work. They can manifest as unfinished homework or assignments, messy homes and disorganized desks or failure to pay bills or return calls on time. People who aren't attentive ADHD can also lose things needed for daily tasks like keys and wallets. They may have difficulty listening to others and frequently lose the meaning of conversations, or quickly become bored by meetings and presentations. They may drift off and think about their hobbies or re-watch social media content. Unlike hyperactive-impulsive ADHD, the inattentive type of ADD is more common in adults. A lot of family physicians don't recognize ADHD in their patients or because they aren't familiar with the disorder in adults or because comorbid issues obscure the presence of ADHD. However, a trained physician can diagnose the condition by asking specific questions about symptoms and past history. The criteria for a diagnosis of inattentive ADHD include having several symptoms of inattention and five or more chronic symptoms that interfere in, or decrease the quality of, one's school, social or work performance. Symptoms must have been present for at least six months and be inappropriate for the patient's development level. In addition to treatment for behavioural issues The most effective treatment for ADHD is medication. There are a variety of medications available and it is important to choose the right one. It's recommended to begin with one medication and then carefully monitor its effectiveness, as symptoms can improve with time. It is also recommended to visit your doctor at least every year. Sometimes, a dose adjustment will be required to keep your medications working at their best. 4. Impulsivity One of the main symptoms of ADHD is the tendency to be impulsive, which implies that people suffering from the condition often act without thinking first. They might blurt out answers before the question has been asked, interrupt others or engage in reckless activities that could have grave consequences. Impulsive behavior can also impact relationships with others and increase the symptoms of other psychiatric conditions such as mood swings and anxiety disorders. Research suggests that impulsive behavior among people with ADHD is a result of decreased activity in prefrontal cortex. This region is a major factor in the control of impulses and decision-making. It can also be related to atypical dopamine regulation, which affects reward processing and impulse control. The urge to buy something new can cause financial problems, with the rush of dopamine that comes from buying something new overtaking the cost, practicality, or logic behind buying. Impulsive decisions can also affect self-care. They can result in poor lifestyle choices or unhealthy eating habits. This pattern is difficult to break, but there are some ways to reduce it. Make a list of the circumstances in which you're likely to act impulsively. If you're inclined to say or do something impulsively, put your finger over your mouth and pretend to lock yourself in for several seconds to allow yourself the chance to think about whether the decision is a good idea. Another way to combat impulses is to master breathing techniques that can help you feel more grounded and at peace. A few studies have demonstrated that it may help to regulate the autonomic nervous system, and reduce negative emotions, which can lead to the impulsive behavior. Making lists and practicing mindfulness can be helpful. You can reduce impulse-driven behavior by anticipating the circumstances and times when you are likely to be impulsive. For instance, you could bring fidget toys with you to meetings, or keep reminders in your wallet that remind you that you should count to 10 before you respond. 5. Fidgeting Fidgeting involves repetitive movements that calm the nervous system and improve focus. It can be a sign of ADHD symptoms such as hyperactivity or inattention. People with ADD tend to be distracted and engaged in the course or task however, it can affect social interactions and cause other health issues. Fidgeting is typically thought of as a negative behaviour that is best avoided, however, experts have found that it can actually improve concentration. Fidgeting that involves movements that are performed by your body, instead of an object. Examples include tapping a pen or clicking your feet. In a study, students who fidget during class found that their concentration and attention spans improved after they started using stress balls in lessons and self-work exercises. They found that manipulating these balls helped them to concentrate and also allowed them to communicate with teachers and classmates without disrupting other students. It's important for parents to be aware that fidgeting is a normal part of the human experience, and it isn't a sign of mental illness. However, if your child's fidgeting causes disruption to their classroom or at home, you should work with their doctor to determine if they have an underlying condition that could be treated, like restless leg syndrome (RLS). There are a variety of ways to increase your concentration and reduce ADHD symptoms, in addition to medication. You could, for instance using a stopwatch to break down long tasks into smaller chunks that you can manage, or even designate an area where you can work in the event that you are distracted by something else. You can also use mindfulness techniques to quiet the mind and improve your attention and also try to learn a new hobby that keeps your hands busy. Knitting, for instance can help you improve your concentration and feel the satisfaction that comes from creating the perfect cap or blanket.
