Although ADHD is frequently diagnosed in children, and the symptoms tend to fade over time, there are still many adults in the world that suffer from ADHD.

Unfortunately, many adults struggle with unrecognized ADHD because they assume their difficulties stem from other mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety.

In adults, this may lead to further issues such as compulsive eating, substance abuse, chronic stress, and low self-esteem.

The team at Insight Psychological recognizes that adults suffer from ADHD, and we have the knowledge and expertise to support you and help you through these challenges.

Symptoms and Signs of ADHD

Typical symptoms of ADHD in adults can sometimes mimic other psychological disorders, such as anxiety, depression, and other learning disorders.

It can also resemble struggles with grief and loss as well as ongoing family, personal, and relational issues.

Symptoms and signs of ADHD in adults include:

  • Inability to focus
  • Impulsivity
  • Easily distracted
  • High energy levels
  • Inability to sit still
  • Severe impatience
  • Anger
  • Easily forgetting things

When to Get Help for ADHD

If you struggle at work, school or in other areas of your life with the above symptoms, and you feel it’s impacting your quality of life, then it’s time to get support.

Seeking professional help can help you better understand ADHD and gives you tools to reduce symptoms and cope with the challenges.

ADHD is complex, and no one should navigate the struggles alone!

Diagnosing ADHD in Adults

There is no single test used to assess and diagnose ADHD.

Our experts at Insight Psychological diagnose ADHD based on symptoms and how they impact an individual’s daily functioning.

We can provide an initial screening and clinical assessment to diagnose ADHD.

During an ADHD screening, we will work with you to identify the likelihood of an ADHD diagnosis.

Treatment for ADHD in Adults

Having a diagnosis of ADHD can be helpful in learning how to manage symptoms.

Besides other treatments, such as diet changes and medication, seeing a therapist is an important part of treating and living with ADHD.

ADHD can be treated using methods such as behavioral therapy, cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy:

  • Behavioral therapy looks at the individual’s current struggles and the factors influencing them to encourage changes in behavior and self-perception.
  • Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on thoughts, emotions, and beliefs that influence an individual’s behavior.
  • Mindfulness therapy helps individuals focus on the moment as well as how to acknowledge and regulate emotions to break free of negative thought patterns.

Therapy can help decrease impulsivity and help individuals with ADHD to reduce symptoms and the negative impact they may have.
