oth children and adults can suffer from ADD (technically known as Attention Deficient Disorder), in fact, Adult Attention Deficit Disorder, or Adult ADD/ADHD is growing in incidences and prevalence.
Most men and women with Adult Attention Deficit Disorder may have even had the childhood version of the condition which went undiagnosed for years.
Early diagnosis is crucial however, as it can help an individual maintain and curb the symptoms that often interfere with everyday activities and daily living.
Symptoms of AADD/ADHD
Whether you are a child or an adult the symptoms of ADD are relatively the same. The only difference between childhood ADD/ADHD and the adult version is that it symptoms can get worse due to the fact that new demands placed on adults often exacerbate the disorder.
The primary sign of the disorder is an inability to concentrate that goes well beyond an average person's propensity towards inattentiveness. Because it has more to do with an actual imbalance in the brain than the periodic lapses in attention experienced by us all, they symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder can manifest almost all the time and be every disruptive to an individual's life and the life of those around them.
Some other primary symptoms of ADD/ADHD are:
• Trouble following directions
• Lack of organizational skills
• Can't complete deadlines
• Extremely forgetful
• Exhibits emotional, work related behavioral and social problems
• Depression
• Anger problems
• Anxiety
• Inability sitting still
Although these signs can manifest in children and adults alike, where the differences come in with the level of hyperactivity displayed in young sufferers. Usually, these younger victims are prescribed Ritalin to control sudden bursts of erratic energy.
Diagnosis of Attention Deficit Disorder
The diagnostic tools and protocols set in place for diagnosing children with the condition are the same used for diagnosing adults. As stated earlier, many symptoms of Adult Attention Deficit Disorder show up in early childhood.
This fact alone can be used to establish an ADD pattern.
However, the diagnosis can become difficult if the primary symptom of the childhood ADD/ADHD was more in behavioral manifestations, than in a more noticeable form, like hyperactivity.
The main diagnostic tools are primarily base don behaviors. For instance people, with Attention Deficit Disorder tend to lack focus, not only with tasks but in life. They procrastinate, are habitually late and flit from job to job or even, partner to partner.
Many who come in to seek help have left behind them a trail of angry and disillusioned partners and relatives and aren't quite sure how to place themselves on the road to wellness.
How to control Attention Deficit Disorder
ADD/HD is thought to be a biological condition, most often inherited, that affects certain types of brain functioning. There is no cure for ADD/ADHD. When properly diagnosed and treated, ADD/ADHD can be well managed, leading to increased satisfaction in life and significant improvements in daily functioning. Many individuals with ADD/ADHD lead highly successful and happy lives. An accurate diagnosis is the first step in learning to effectively manage ADD/ADHD.
Many people who suffer from ADD are more apt to develop certain psychological ailments. Whether Attention Deficit Disorder is an actual causation or an extension of the ailment is not known.
