What Problems Are Posed by These Nervous Conditions?
Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and attention deficit disorder (ADD) are terms that people use interchangeably, but they don’t describe the same condition. While both conditions encompass problems with attention, impulsivity and fidgeting, only ADHD inflicts the constant movement most often associated with these impulse disorders.
First diagnosed in childhood, ADD can continue into adulthood. Those afflicted face an even more complicated life trying to study, build a career and make lasting friendships. Even though it’s normal for kids to have some trouble focusing on a task and channeling their extra energy, those with ADHD don’t grow out of it.
What Symptoms Require ADHD Treatment?
Poor work performance, college studies and unstable relationships may result from ADHD issues. Common signs of ADD or ADHD include:
– Constantly losing or forgetting important items or information
– Fidgeting or squirming with endless energy to burn
– Always daydreaming even when you need concentration for a specific task
– Talking too much or very quickly
– Succumbing to impulsive actions that may be risky, regardless of consequences
– Making careless mistakes because of you’re distracted
– Experiencing easily triggered anger

Are There Different Types of ADHD?
The symptoms you exhibit during your consultation point your psychiatrist toward the type of ADHD you have. Then you both select the most appropriate treatment option, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder online treatment. Your symptoms indicate one of the three types of ADHD:
– Predominantly hyperactive-impulsive presentation. This is the most stereotypical form of ADHD. Sufferers exhibit agitation, restless motion, lots of taking, and predominate fidgeting. If you have this hyperactive-impulsive condition, you may not be able to sit still very long. It’s not uncommon for you to have trouble waiting your turn or listening to directions. You have lots of accidents and may even injure others.
– Predominantly inattentive presentation. If you have difficulty organizing or completing tasks, you may fit into this category. It’s common for you to also have trouble following directions and keeping up with conversations. You are likely easily distracted or forgetful of details.

Changes to treatment must correspond to changes in your lifestyle.
