What are the common signs and symptoms of ADHD?

Hyperactivity symptoms may manifest as excessive fidgeting, talking excessively, or difficulty staying seated.
Who can be affected by ADHD?
ADHD can affect people of all ages, including children, adolescents, and adults. It is estimated that around 5-10% of children and 2-5% of adults worldwide have ADHD.
How is ADHD diagnosed?
ADHD is typically diagnosed through a comprehensive evaluation conducted by a qualified mental health professional or healthcare provider. This evaluation involves gathering information about the individual's symptoms, medical history, and behaviors observed in different settings. Diagnostic criteria outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) are used as guidelines for diagnosis.
Can ADHD be treated?

Is medication always necessary for treating ADHD?
Medication is a common treatment option for ADHD, particularly for individuals with moderate to severe symptoms. However, each person's situation is unique, and medication is not the only approach. Behavioral therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, lifestyle modifications, and support strategies can also play a significant role in managing ADHD symptoms.
Can adults have ADHD even if they were not diagnosed as children?
Yes, it is possible for ADHD to go undiagnosed or unrecognized during childhood and be diagnosed in adulthood.

Adult ADHD assessments consider the person's history and current symptoms to make an accurate diagnosis.
How can therapy help individuals with ADHD?
Therapy can provide valuable support and guidance for individuals with ADHD. Therapists can help develop coping skills, improve organizational strategies, address emotional challenges, enhance communication skills, and provide a safe space to discuss and explore the impact of ADHD on various aspects of life.
Can ADHD impact academic or occupational performance?
Yes, ADHD can significantly affect academic or occupational performance due to challenges with concentration, organization, impulsivity, and time management. However, with appropriate interventions and support, individuals with ADHD can learn strategies to overcome these difficulties and succeed in their chosen pursuits.
Is there a cure for ADHD?
Currently, there is no known cure for ADHD. However, with proper management and support, individuals with ADHD can lead fulfilling lives, develop effective coping strategies, and achieve their goals.
Remember, seeking professional help is crucial for accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, and ongoing support for ADHD. If you have specific concerns or questions about ADHD, it is advisable to consult with a qualified mental health professional or healthcare provider.
