Signs of ADHD in Children
ADHD is a diverse diagnosis with many elements that can impact a person in a variety of ways. In children, ADHD tends to interfere with school and academic performance. A child with ADHD may struggle sitting still, not talking when its their turn, completing homework and chores and therefore find themselves in trouble more than their peers. Parents of children with ADHD may feel frustrated and at a loss on how to help and stop these problematic behaviours.
Signs of ADHD in Adults
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder meaning that it develops in childhood and is linked to changes in the brain that lead to behavioural problems. ADHD can occur in adulthood and take a great toll on individuals, especially if undiagnosed and untreated. Adults may struggle with many of the same things children with ADHD do, such as focusing, completing tasks, following directions, impulse control, regulating emotions, and staying organized. Not surprisingly, adults (and even children and teens) tend to develop other issues associated with ADHD such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationship conflicts.
