If you're finding that it's hard to focus, get through your to-do list each day, or that you have trouble sitting still, it's possible that you may be experiencing ADHD. Thankfully, the condition is highly treatable, and a qualified ADHD therapist can help. Nancy VanAman, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based out of Tampa, provides therapy for people who are living with ADHD and are ready to take the next step forward to a more productive, fulfilling life.
Adult ADHD Symptoms
The picture that you may have in your head of someone with ADHD—perhaps, a small child bouncing around and struggling to pay attention in school—isn't necessarily the same way ADHD symptoms are exhibited in adults. The signs of the condition in adulthood can be far subtler, and can often go ignored.
Some of the more common symptoms of adult ADHD include:
- Struggles to stay on task at work and at home
- Forgetfulness
- Disorganization
- Mood swings
- Difficulty sitting still to work or relax, as well as difficulty falling asleep at night
- Excessive talking
- Low frustration tolerance
- Feeling easily flustered or stressed
No two people experience ADHD in exactly the same way. You may find that your symptoms come and go over time and may get worse in times of stress.
ADHD Testing for Adults
ADHD testing can help you understand the way that your mind works, allowing you to take steps to live a happier life. There's no one test to determine whether a person has ADHD. Your therapist may work with you to discuss your symptoms and how they affect your lifestyle. You'll also go through a series of tests to help your therapist better understand the way your mind functions, and we will use both the information provided and the results of your testing to determine whether you qualify for an ADHD diagnosis.
