Understanding Adult ADHD – Symptoms and Diagnosis

Common Symptoms of Adult ADHD

Adult ADHD presents a range of symptoms, including difficulty focusing, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. These can manifest in various ways, such as:

- - Trouble staying organized and managing time.
  - Difficulty completing tasks and following through on commitments.
  - Restlessness and fidgeting.
  - Impatience and interrupting others.
  - Emotional dysregulation and mood swings.

These challenges can affect work, relationships, and daily life. As illustrated in real-life examples, such as those discussed in our blog, individuals with ADHD may struggle with maintaining focus during conversations, completing projects, or managing their finances.

The Diagnostic Process for Adult ADHD Treatment at ChennaiMinds

- Diagnosing Adult ADHD involves a thorough evaluation by a qualified psychiatrist. At ChennaiMinds, we follow the diagnostic criteria outlined in the ICD-11, which considers the persistence of symptoms and their impact on daily functioning.
- We also consider the history of ADHD, as documented by physicians like Sir Alexander Crichton, who provided early accounts of the disorder. It’s important to remember that ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that can persist into adulthood.
- Our assessment may include clinical interviews, symptom checklists, and cognitive testing to evaluate attention, executive function, and other relevant factors.
