Do You Have ADHD?

Determining if you have ADHD is a several step process because there is no single test to diagnose ADHD. In addition, there re sometimes co-occurring issues with ADHD such as anxiety, depression, and certain types of learning disabilities, which can have the same, or similar symptoms.

The Diagnosis of ADHD

It is important for people with ADHD to realize that it is not something that can be cured, though it can be successfully managed, it is a brain type that will not change. 

Symptoms of ADHD

Some of the symptoms of ADHD, such as hyperactivity, may lessen over time but many symptoms such as:

• Impulsive behavior
• Difficulty completing tasks
• Disorganization
• Difficulty concentrating
• Unstable relationships
• Anger outbursts
• Restlessness
• Trouble with Memory
• Low frustration tolerance
• Trouble coping with stress
• Frequent mood swings

These symptoms will need to be managed for the person to maximize their potential in life. 

Causes of ADHD

The causes and risk factors for ADHD are unknown, but the current, relevant research shows that genetics plays an important role. Research does not support the beliefs that ADHD is caused by eating too much sugar, bad parenting, watching too much television, or poverty. Although, many things, including these issues, may make symptoms worse. However, the evidence is not strong enough to conclude that they are the main causes of ADHD.

Treatment Options

There are many treatment options, so those with ADHD and their doctors should work closely with everyone involved in the treatment for the treatment to be most effective.

In most cases, ADHD is best treated with a combination of medication, behavior therapy, and/or coaching. The best treatment plans will include regular monitoring, follow-up and modifications of the treatment plan as needed.
