What is ADHD?

The condition of ADHD, briefly known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, comprises of symptoms like inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. Usually emerging in childhood and continuing into adulthood as well, ADHD can interfere with almost every aspect of your life, including academics, home, work, and personal relationships. Before things get out of hand, it’s imperative to see an adult ADHD psychiatrist in Texas.

Symptoms

Generally, the symptoms that indicate ADHD are separated into two basic categories: inattention and hyperactivity-impulsiveness. Anyone who is:

 

  • inattentive,
  • finds it difficult to stay focused or pay attention to details,
  • is easily distracted,
  • and has memory issues.

 

It’s easier to notice the symptoms of ADHD as adults who have working jobs or high functioning lives because they will exhibit these symptoms more evident once they are in an active and demanding environment.


For impulsiveness and hyperactivity, the symptoms are apparent as:

 

  • restlessness,
  • an inability to stay steady,
  • fidgeting,
  • And talking excessively.

 

For adults with undiagnosed ADHD, you can observe for a history of poor academic performance, issues at work, and difficult or failed relationships. While in children, these symptoms are likely to surface before age 7. If you believe you or any of your loved one is exhibiting these symptoms, research your local psychiatry center for an ADHD evaluation.

Treatment

The main types of treatment for ADHD involve medication and, even sometimes, behavioral therapy too. We have Dr. Kishore Sunkara, who is a mental health professional in Dallas with a specialization in ADHD. He will provide you with an informed diagnosis and lay down the right treatment plan. Getting some ADHD counseling will help a patient deal with ADHD more effectively. However, often it’s necessary to include medications like stimulants in the treatment to deaden uncontrollable impulses. At Focusdfw, we educate you on all of your options and give you the best recommendations.
