ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects both children and adults. It is estimated that 5 per cent of the Australian population attracts this diagnosis.
There is no ADHD stereotype. ADHD presents in different forms. It can present differently between the sexes. It is characterised by symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity.
These symptoms can cause significant impairment in multiple areas of one’s life including school, work and relationships. Individuals with ADHD often have difficulty completing tasks, paying attention, and following instructions. They struggle with time management, organisation and tend to procrastinate.
Symptoms of hyperactivity and impulsivity include fidgeting, difficulty sitting still, interrupting others and acting impulsively without thinking through the consequences.
Understanding Adult ADHD
It's important to recognise that ADHD symptoms and their severity vary from person to person.
Common signs of Adult ADHD include:
- Poor attention; excessive distractibility
- Difficulty getting started on tasks
- Difficulty completing tasks
- Impulsivity; saying or doing things without thinking
- Excessive procrastination • Frequently losing things
- Poor organisation, planning, and time management skills
- Forgetfulness
- Marital discord
If you suspect you or a loved one may have Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), you've come to the right place.
ADHD in adulthood is often overlooked and undiagnosed in Australian adults. Living with the symptoms of adult ADHD can be a challenging, and overwhelming experience. We also know that ADHD is associated with multiple physical and mental health conditions.
At Fluence Clinic, our experienced psychiatrists provide comprehensive online ADHD assessments for anyone aged 16 and over who may be showing signs of ADHD.
All our psychiatrists are experienced and trained to recognise its manifestations and the life span of its relationship to other psychiatric disorders.
ADHD is NOT a choice or due to a lack of intelligence or laziness.
This misconception and stigma still exists in our society and has a devastating impact on patients who struggle with ADHD symptoms, as they tend to see themselves as ‘stupid’ or being a ‘failure’ – this kind of thinking is exactly why ADHD assessments are so important for individuals and their families.
