What You Need to Know About ADHD Counselling
ADHD In Adulthood (ages 16 and up)
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) isn’t just a childhood condition; it can persist into adulthood. While it’s often associated with children, many adults also grapple with its challenges. ADHD in adults can manifest differently than in children, making it sometimes more challenging to recognize.
In adults, ADHD may present as difficulty focusing on tasks, impulsivity, restlessness, and trouble managing time or responsibilities. These symptoms can significantly impact adult life, including work, relationships, and overall well-being.
Diagnosing ADHD in adults can be complex due to its overlap with other mental health conditions and the tendency for symptoms to be less evident than in children. However, with proper assessment and understanding, adults with ADHD can access effective treatments and strategies to manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
