ADHD Awareness: Transforming Lives Impacted By Adult ADHD

— There are times when ADHD is impossible to miss - and there are other times when it is too easy to overlook. In children whose symptoms mimic stereotypical ones (such as hyperactivity or impulsivity), the diagnosis is often made early, while those with less obvious signs (such as emotional dysregulation or sleeplessness) may go undiagnosed into adulthood. This episode discusses the most common ADHD signs. The behavior and presentation of ADHD are often stereotyped, despite the fact that it manifests in disparate and dichotomous ways. Consequently, not-so-obvious ADHD symptoms may go ignored or misdiagnosed in broad daylight. In such a situation, the subtle, but lifelong symptoms of ADHD suddenly become unmanageable when triggered by unique and stress-inducing circumstances. Most adults don't get the help they need until then. The most common ADHD symptoms are being revealed today by Dr. Dara Abraham.
