What Is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ADHD is a neurobehavioral mental health disorder characterized by impulsivity, hyperactivity, and short attention span. In general, no two people with ADHD express the disorder precisely alike. Some patients may be highly social, while others are withdrawn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some may have a high concentration level with things that interest them, while others are continuously challenged to concentrate regardless of interest. Once diagnosed, individuals with ADHD have responded to treatment for their symptoms and report greatly improved satisfaction in their work and personal lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Adult Vs. Child ADHD Symptoms<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Adults and children can both have ADHD, and while there are some similarities between adult and child ADHD, there are also some key differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Here are some of the main differences between adult ADHD and child ADHD:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Symptom presentation<\/strong>: In children, ADHD is characterized by hyperactivity, impulsivity, and difficulty paying attention, often leading to problems with academic performance and behavior in school. In adults, the symptoms of ADHD may be more subtle and may present differently, such as restlessness, difficulty with organization, forgetfulness, and difficulty completing tasks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Diagnosis<\/strong>: ADHD is typically diagnosed in childhood, and many individuals with ADHD continue to experience symptoms into adulthood. However, many individuals with adult ADHD may not have been diagnosed until later. Their symptoms may have been less apparent or misdiagnosed as anxiety, depression, or other conditions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Co-occurring conditions<\/strong>: Children with ADHD are more likely to have co-occurring conditions such as oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), conduct disorder (CD), and learning disabilities. In adults, ADHD is more likely to co-occur with anxiety disorders, depression, and substance use disorders.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        4. Impact on daily life<\/strong>: Both child and adult ADHD can significantly impact everyday life, but the specific challenges may differ. Children with ADHD may struggle with academic performance, behavior in school, and social relationships. Adults with ADHD may struggle with work performance, organization, time management, and relationships.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        5. Treatment<\/strong>: While the same medications and therapies used to treat ADHD in children can also be effective for adults with ADHD, there may be some differences in treatment approaches. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Because this article deals with the workforce, we’ll focus primarily on how ADHD affects adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
