Frequently Asked Questions

Common symptoms of ADHD include inattention (difficulty sustaining attention, following through on tasks, and organizing activities), hyperactivity (excessive fidgeting, inability to stay seated, and talking excessively), and impulsivity (interrupting others, difficulty waiting for turns, and making hasty decisions). These symptoms can vary in severity and may present differently in children and adults.

ADHD is diagnosed through a comprehensive evaluation by a qualified healthcare professional, which includes gathering information from multiple sources such as medical history, behavior checklists, and interviews with the individual and their family or teachers. Standardized assessment tools and psychological tests may also be used to rule out other conditions and confirm the diagnosis.

Treatment for ADHD typically involves a combination of medication, behavioral therapy, and educational interventions. Medications such as stimulants (e.g., methylphenidate, amphetamines) and non-stimulants (e.g., atomoxetine) can help manage symptoms. Behavioral therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and parent training, can provide strategies for managing behavior and improving organizational skills. Educational support, such as individualized education programs (IEPs) or 504 plans, can assist in academic settings.

ADHD treatments are generally effective in managing symptoms and improving functioning. Medications can significantly reduce hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention, while behavioral therapies can teach coping skills and strategies for managing daily challenges. The effectiveness of treatment can depend on the individual’s unique needs and their adherence to the treatment plan.

Yes, adults can be diagnosed with and treated for ADHD. Many adults with ADHD may have had symptoms since childhood, but they may not have been recognized or diagnosed earlier. Adult ADHD can impact work, relationships, and daily functioning, but effective treatments, including medication and therapy, can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
