One of the most common and chronic conditions affecting millions of children and continuing into adulthood is attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Including a combination of persistent problems such as impulsive behaviour, hyperactivity and difficulty in sustaining attention, ADHD is often first identified in school-aged children due to the disruption they bring about to the classroom. While some symptoms are seen to reduce with age, people are unable to completely outgrow their symptoms.
Due to the struggles easily identified during school, kids with ADHD will benefit from introducing them to successful strategies to deal with their symptoms and incorporate behavioural, cognitive interventions and medications. However, many adults are unable to recognize the cause of their struggles, which is why it is important to have a comprehensive evaluation by a Clinical Psychologist to identify their condition. On identifying the same, adults with ADHD would be treated with psychotherapy, medication or a combination, along with introducing behaviour management strategies to minimize distractions and increase structure in your life. Early diagnosis and treatment are usually very beneficial for clients dealing with ADHD.
