Understanding ADHD
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects approximately 6-9% of children and 2.5-4% of adults worldwide. Its symptoms can present differently depending on the individual and are generally categorized into two main domains: inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity.
Inattention:
Difficulty sustaining attention in tasks or activities.
Frequently making careless mistakes in schoolwork or work.
Often losing items needed for tasks (e.g., keys, phones).
Easily distracted by external stimuli or irrelevant thoughts.
Trouble organizing tasks or managing time effectively.
Avoidance or dislike of tasks requiring sustained mental effort.
Hyperactivity/Impulsivity:
Fidgeting or difficulty staying seated.
Restlessness or feeling the need to be constantly active.
Talking excessively or blurting out answers.
Difficulty waiting for one’s turn.
Interrupting others during conversations or activities.
Why a COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION is CRITICAL
Difficulty concentrating is a transdiagnostic symptom, meaning it is not unique to ADHD and can appear in other conditions, such as:
Major Depressive Disorder: Impaired focus due to low energy or excessive worry.
Anxiety Disorders: Difficulty focusing due to racing thoughts or constant worry.
Sleep Disorders: Poor concentration caused by inadequate restorative sleep.
Trauma and PTSD: Intrusive thoughts can impair the ability to concentrate on daily tasks.
At Vijapura Psychiatry, we emphasize the importance of a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to uncover the underlying cause of your symptoms. Proper diagnosis is essential to designing an effective treatment plan, as treatment for ADHD differs significantly from approaches used for other conditions.
