What is Adult ADHD Service
Adult ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) Services provide support for adults struggling with the symptoms of ADHD, a condition often characterized by difficulties with focus, organization, impulsivity, and time management. While ADHD is commonly associated with children, many adults continue to experience these challenges, impacting their careers, relationships, and daily functioning. Adult ADHD services can include diagnosis, counseling, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and medication management. These services aim to help individuals develop strategies to manage their symptoms, improve productivity, and enhance overall quality of life.
Conditions of Adult ADHD Service
To diagnose Adult ADHD, symptoms must have been present since childhood and continue to affect the individual in two or more areas of their life (e.g., work, relationships). The following criteria are often considered:
- Inattention (e.g., difficulty sustaining attention, disorganization, forgetfulness)
- Hyperactivity (e.g., restlessness, fidgeting, inability to stay seated)
- Impulsivity (e.g., interrupting others, difficulty waiting for turns)
- Symptoms that interfere with work, social life, or home responsibilities
- Symptoms are not better explained by another mental health condition
