Adult ADHD is a major problem that affects 4.4% of adults with symptoms like inattention, distractibility and impulsivity. While these symptoms were most likely present during your childhood, they may not have become prominent until you became in adult. Symptoms emerge many times during adulthood because of all the added responsibilities. The extra burden caused by family drama, your job and your finances put a lot of strain on your mind that can cause these symptoms to become more prominent. Dr. Darvin Hege, one of top ADHD specialists in Atlanta, can help you get your life back in order.
The drag of ADHD will cause you to be stressed out, depressed or overly anxious causing the patient to turn to external forms of comfort such as alcohol, drug or medication abuse. While these are able to be treated, the underlying problem of ADHD may be missed and the improvement will only be temporary. The patient will still struggle unnecessarily and may even relapse. As one of the most well educated Atlanta ADHD psychiatrists, Dr. Hege can help you take care of the underlying, fundamental problem, ADHD.
The “ADD” in adult ADD ADHD symptoms refers to the predominantly inattentive subtype, while the “ADHD” refers to the condition that includes the hyperactive/impulsive symptoms. Symptoms that imply that you have inattention may be fair amounts of careless mistakes on tests or during work even when you know the right answer or the right way to do a task, you have procrastinated regularly throughout your life, you avoid tasks involving sustained mental effort, or frequently misplace or lose things.
Hyperactivity symptoms are if you are fidgety or regularly squirm in your seat or otherwise have to move around, if you are uncomfortable with sitting around talking with friends and try to “liven things up” or would prefer to do something physical rather than mental.
Impulsivity symptoms include, interrupting people’s conversations, severe impatience with waiting for your turn and a tendency to answer questions or talk before the other person is finished speaking.
