Exploring The Often Misunderstood World Of Adult ADHD ADD
It wasn’t that many years ago that attention deficit disorder, now known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, was considered to be an obscure condition found only in children. Today we know that is not the case with an estimated 10 percent of all children having the condition and at least 5 percent of adults.
But ADHD ADD in adults presents itself much differently than when recognized in children. Perhaps this evolution evolves out of necessity or perhaps as the brain matures certain biological imbalances are either corrected or altered. Research has yet to provide us with these answers but what we do know is that hyperactivity morphs into the much less noticeable restlessness in most instances. Their once extreme hyperactivity is now internalized more and exhibited as fidgeting.
While in most ADHD ADD adults their hyperactive condition has transformed itself to become less noticeable certain symptoms likely will not improve with age. The most stark example of this is the primary symptoms of inattention/distractibility. Inattention/distractibility can be very problematic for ADHD ADD adults creating major challenges with job stability, relationships and magnifying some very important secondary symptoms such as low self esteem and anticipation of failure. The social and economic hardships caused by inattention or distractibility can also lead to co-occurring conditions such as depression.
So in ADHD ADD adults we have hyperactivity moving to the background with inattention and/or distractibility moving to the forefront. While this may seem like a fairly gloomy scenario at first blush, if the right set of circumstances occur the ADHD ADD adult can quickly move out of the spot light of failure into the much more appealing realm of prosperity and success.
Rarely are the positive aspects of attention deficit hyperactivity every discussed. This is mainly due to the narrow scope of which they must fit into not to interfere with life’s responsibilities and challenges. But if an ADHD ADD adult can find just the right set of circumstances, both at home and at work, to apply their creativity, innovation, and risk taking skills they can truly parley these traits into great success.
Many have found their calling in the form of entrepreneurial ventures or self employment avoiding the stifling and strict requirements often found in the corporate world. In some ways you can look at an ADHD ADD adult who has found his niche as a racehorse which has been held back all his life and now is free to run as fast and as far as possible.
While some see success most don’t. For these individuals finding a treatment option that can help them manage their symptoms should be one of their main priorities. The most common form of treatment for ADD ADHD adults are stimulant medications such as Ritalin or Cylert. While effective all stimulant medications come with a number of serious label warnings. The risk of side effects or perhaps lack of success with stimulants has prompted many to investigate other options. A couple examples of this are behavior modification therapy and/or homeopathic remedies. Homeopathic remedies for ADHD ADD adult are a side effect free way to address such problematic symptoms as inattention, distractibility, impulsivity, erratic behavior and hyperactivity and can be used both as a standalone treatment or as a compliment to other nonprescription alternatives.

How is ADHD diagnosed in adults?
How are ADHD symptoms different in adults than in children? Are the treatments (medication, etc.) the same, or is the condition treated differently in adults?
I am not asking about this because I think I might have ADHD myself; far from it, in fact.
“The profile of an adult with ADHD can vary from that of a child. Most experts agree that pure hyperactive behavior usually diminishes with maturity. Adults usually have problems with time management, self-control, planning for the future, and being able to persist toward goals.
For ADHD diagnosis, a thorough physical exam is performed first to rule out other problems. Then, clinicians question patients using standardized lists of ADHD symptoms to come up with a score on severity and persistence. For now experts agree that there’s no such thing as adult-onset ADHD. Therefore, a childhood history of ADHD symptoms is essential for diagnosis of adult ADHD.”
