Attention
Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder
Attention deficit, hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is an illness
that begins in childhood, and typically lasts into adulthood.
Adults with ADHD may feel that it's impossible to get
organized, stick to a job, or remember and keep appointments.
Daily tasks such as getting up in the morning, preparing to
leave the house for work, arriving at work on time, and being
productive on the job can be especially challenging for adults
with ADHD. These adults may have a history of
under-performance at school or work, or have difficult or
failed relationships.
Many have had multiple traffic accidents. Like teens, adults
with ADHD may seem restless and may try to do several things
at once, most of them unsuccessfully. They also tend to prefer
"quick fixes," rather than taking the steps needed to achieve
greater rewards.
Because many things can present looking like ADHD, a thorough
evaluation by a qualified physician is the most important step
in the treatment process. The medications used to treat ADHD
are some of the most effective medications in all of
psychiatry.
