Symptoms of ADHD in Adults A 43-year-old woman who was married came to Dr. Amen concerned she may be suffering from ADD (predominantly inattentive type). She was struggling to keep up with her school work and household chores. She was unorganized and often lost her wallet or keys. She often forgot appointments and was unable to keep track of time. She had low self-esteem as well as a negative outlook. an ongoing sadness that was not depression. Inattentive ADD People with inattention ADHD are unable to pay attention to details and are prone to making mistakes. They have a hard time recalling information they've learned and may forget to complete homework assignments or even a project. They often misplace keys, wallets and other objects they need to live with. They are often late to appointments or are unable to keep track of messages and bills. Children with inattentive ADD are not as obvious because they do not display any behavior issues that are obvious. Children who suffer from this subtype of ADD tend to be girls than boys, and many teachers don't acknowledge their symptoms because they don't fit the stereotype of the “bad kid.” Adults with inattentive ADHD have difficulty following instructions, both at home and at the workplace. They tend to put off tasks and avoid tasks that require constant mental effort. They may also have difficulty listen to lectures or conversations and can be easily distracted by extraneous stimuli, such as unrelated thoughts or the television or internet. Inattention ADHD symptoms could be mistaken for laziness or inability to focus. Many adults are upset when family members or colleagues continually remind them of their missed commitments. It's important that you understand that inattention ADD can also be caused by stress, mental disorders, or physical illnesses. To determine the cause and determine if treatment is necessary an extensive examination by a mental health professional or health care professional is recommended. They will conduct a thorough medical history, conduct physical examinations and talk about your lifestyle to help you pinpoint any other issues that might contribute to your symptoms. Overfocused ADD Those afflicted with those suffering from ADD have difficulty shifting their focus and are often obsessed with certain activities. signs of attention deficit disorder in adults can also be extremely organized, which can cause confusion for some people and lead to misdiagnosis. Because they tend to lack dopamine and serotonin they are usually treated with the standard ADHD medications that increase serotonin and dopamine. However, this treatment can actually make their ADD symptoms worse. People who suffer from this condition may feel suffocated due to their inability to redirect their thoughts, causing them to suffer from anxiety and depression. They are also susceptible to become stuck in negative behaviors and patterns of thought which are difficult to break free from without intervention. Adults suffering from Overfocused ADD have had positive results from cognitive behavioral therapies to change negative thought patterns, mindfulness practices that reduce rumination and training for skills. When someone suffers from Overfocused ADD, the anterior cingulate gyrus of their brain is overactive. This can cause hyperfocus and moodiness. The stimulant ADD medication can stimulate this part of the brain too much which can increase their symptoms and cause irritability. A healthy diet and non-medicated treatments have been proven to be beneficial for these people. People with over-focused ADD tend to “stick” in negative cycles. This can lead to stress and stress relationships. Some of their symptoms can be eased by establishing a routine, using an electronic planner, and joining communities that support. Couples coaching for ADD can also be very beneficial in creating clear roles and expectations for both partners. This can improve communication and help both individuals to lead an enlightened lifestyle. The most effective treatment for ADD/ADHD is to work with an Occupational or Medical Doctor to identify the best program to reduce and manage your symptoms. Anxious ADD ADD patients often also suffer from anxiety. This could be pesky anxiety, tense periods of worry or full-fledged anxiety disorders such as generalized anxiety disorder or social anxiety disorder panic disorder, or specific phobias. It isn't a matter of whether it's an anxiety that is mild or chronic, severe anxiety. It can affect your work and personal life. About 80% of people with ADHD have at least one additional diagnosis, and anxiety is the most frequent co-occurring diagnosis. Anxious ADD is one of the theorized “7 types of ADD.” This kind is characterized by a strong feeling of nervousness and anxiety as well as inattention. It is caused by dysregulated brain. In the case of this kind the brain mapping qEEG can show that certain areas of the brain are hyperactive or out of balance. This includes the limbic system and prefrontal cortex. People with this type of ADD are highly sensitive to external stimuli such as light, noise and the touch. They are more prone to reacting too quickly and have a short temper. They are prone towards repetitive negative thoughts and behaviors, and often engage in self-sabotage. They tend to be impulsive, argumentative and have an atypical personality. The treatment for this kind is to balance GABA with dopamine, and promoting relaxation. People suffering from this type of ADD should get enough sleep and exercise, as well as eating a healthy diet. They should also stay away from sugar and processed foods. If possible, they should follow the same routine every day for waking and sleeping. Additionally, they should try to incorporate physical activities into educational or work-related tasks. For example for those who have a desk job and they are sitting, they should stand or walk around at least every hour. Ring of Fire ADD This type of ADD is characterized as having an overactive Cerebral cortex and more activity in the right and left Parietal Lobes and the left-right Temporal Lobes. People suffering from Ring of Fire ADD will likely experience all of the typical ADHD symptoms, including the difficulty in focusing and impulsive behaviors. They might also exhibit high levels of anxiety and rapid thoughts. They may become overwhelmed by sensory stimulation, and are usually rigid and argumentative. People who have Ring of Fire ADD are frequently misdiagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, because their symptoms seem very similar. But the difference is that people who suffer from Bipolar Disorder will cycle through periods of depression and mania and those who suffer from Ring of Fire ADD typically experience their symptoms regularly. Ring of Fire ADD can be more difficult to treat compared to other forms of ADHD. The symptoms are often related to a lack of brain chemicals. Treatment usually aims at correcting this imbalance. The positive side is that by implementing expert strategies, individuals can learn to manage their Ring of Fire ADHD symptoms and lead a balanced and productive life.

Contact a specialist to receive an accurate diagnosis and begin on the path to a happy and healthy life. Classic ADD Classic ADD is the type most people think of when they hear ADHD. It has all the symptoms of inattention ADD, but also includes hyperactivity and impulsivity. People with this type of ADD struggle with organization, planning prioritizing, managing time and self-monitoring. They are easily distracted, and lack the mental endurance to finish tasks they don't enjoy. These individuals are usually not labeled as “hyperactive,” but they are unable to follow instructions and frequently miss appointments. They are low in dopamine levels and a reduced flow of blood in the prefrontal cortex. People suffering from this type of ADD have trouble with their emotions and experience difficulties in coping with anxiety, stress and depression. They could have a history of family abuse or trauma or have been through an emotional divorce. Individuals with limbic ADD have reduced activity in their prefrontal cortex and disturbances in the temporal lobes, which control moods. Treatment for this type of ADD is based on supplements and antidepressants to regulate neuronal activity. Dr. Zlatin Ivanov specializes in diagnosing and treating all types of adult ADD.
