Identifying Adult ADHD Symptoms and What To Do

Perhaps you have been told you exhibit typical ADHD symptoms, such as being restless and disorganized. If you do that doesn’t necessarily mean you have ADHD. Let’s face it, every second person could say they had ADD or ADHD in that case.

Some of the typical symptoms include lack of focus, the inability to complete tasks, frequent daydreaming and a short attention span.

Many adults possibly acquired the condition when they were young children.

Instead of being diagnosed at an early age, it’s very likely that their symptoms were ignored and put down to being just a regular kid.

  • Today there are children being ‘labelled’ as having ADHD every single day. Once it was only called ADD, now it is called ADHD because of the hyperactivity aspect of the disorder. Now it is called ADD or ADHD…but it is basically the same thing.

What Are the Symptoms of Adult ADD or ADHD?

Knowing the symptoms of any disorder is anyone’s first line of defense towards conquering any condition.

Before any treatment for adult ADHD can be started, the condition first needs to be diagnosed by your health care professional and this is where the problem lies. Most adults with ADHD are not even aware that they have the disorder, so they are never diagnosed and just battle on…often going to a doctor later with resulting depression and anxiety.

Although the root of the disorder is basically the same in adults and children, their ways of manifesting are very different. Some of the most common symptoms of adult attention deficit disorder are as follows:

  • Lack of organizational skills at work and at home
  • Difficulty in remembering things
  • Constant tardiness
  • Insubordination or refusal to bow to authorities
  • Impulsiveness, irritability and hyperactivity
  • Inability to stay focused on any task at hand
  • Poor self-esteem and in extreme cases, if depression arises there can be suicidal tendencies.

In addition to these symptoms other changes may be experienced. These may include impulsive spending, difficulties in learning new things, procrastination, or addiction to drugs, alcohol, gambling etc.

Most adults who suffer from ADD/ADHD prefer to be by themselves instead of being in situations where they will have to interact with other people. However, there are also those people who would do anything to avoid being alone.

As you can see, the symptoms of adult attention deficit disorder can be quite varied so it is not always easy to identify the condition.

Numerous adult cases actually have their roots in their childhood. It’s often the case that an adult happened to have had ADD as a child but was never treated and just learned to cope with the disorder.

What Can You Do?

Each individual responds differently to natural treatments so it’s very hard to say which one is the best. This is also the reason why some people have to try a few different treatments before being able to find the one that works effectively for them.

There has to be an open and thorough discussion between the doctor and the patient so that the best treatment can be determined. Traditional treatments, such as Adderall and Ritalin do have side effects. (Adderall is a psycho-stimulant prescription medication that contains amphetamine. Ritalin (methylphenidate) is also a pyscho-stimulant.)

  • There are also natural ADHD medicines for adults or children.

Therapy is another treatment method. In addition to natural medication and undergoing therapy, you might also find it helpful to keep a journal where you can jot down your experiences during the treatment, as well as take note of how much progress you have experienced from day to day.

It is also advisable to surround yourself with loving and supportive people who will provide you with encouragement. Most importantly, you should not focus too much on your condition, but focus on a positive outcome!
