ADHD
ADHD is a neurodevelopment disorder common in children. Children with ADHD are unable to concentrate. They rarely complete tasks and find it challenging to follow instructions. Mostly boys receive a diagnosis as a result of exhibiting characteristic signs of hyperactivity. Symptoms of ADHD in girls are less severe, with most of them displaying signs by daydreaming often and becoming talkative rather than showcasing hyperactivity. This type of disorder is common in children and seeps into adulthood, affecting relationships and work-related tasks.
WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF ADHD?
Adults living with ADHD find it difficult to concentrate. They become hyperactive and impulsive. These episodes of hyperactivity lead to inadequate work and academic performance, unstable relationships and poor self-esteem.
Signs of ADHD in adults include:
- Inadequate time management skills
- Inability to multi-task
- Restlessness and hyperactivity
- Frequent frustration
- Mood swings
- Inability to complete tasks affecting productivity
- Persistent temper
- Inability to cope with stress
TREATING ADHD
Treatment for a neurodevelopmental disorder such as ADHD can be managed by use of medication such as Ritalin or Concerta, as well as behavioural therapy. Eating healthily and exercising regularly can also improve symptoms.
Dr Singh treats ADHD by introducing proper dietary alternatives that eradicate chemicals linked to hyperactivity. Adults with ADHD are more susceptible to depression and anxiety; that's why it is essential to cut harmful chemicals from one’s diet for a better quality of life. The doctor incorporates medication and cognitive therapy to manage behaviour, reorganising and correcting negative thinking patterns to cope with ADHD symptoms.
