    What is ADHD?

    Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), also known as attention deficit disorder, distractibility, and inattention deficit disorder, is a common behavioral disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.

    ADHD is usually diagnosed in childhood, but it can often last into adulthood, affecting areas of the brain that prevent you from concentrating, planning, and understanding the behavior of others. People with ADHD are usually impulsive and often overly active.

    Depending on the symptoms, there are three types of ADHD:

    • Predominantly hyperactive (hyperactivity syndrome without attention deficit)
    • Predominantly inattentive (attention deficit disorder without hyperactivity) - ADD
    • Combined (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder)

    Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder tends to be inherited.

    "ADHD is not a 'disorder'. The only difference is in how your brain learns and processes information." - says Dr. Zlatin Ivanov, Top Rated ADHD Psychiatrist.

    Causes and symptoms of ADHD

    The exact cause of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is not known, but it is associated with various factors such as genetics, environment, and developmental factors.

    "ADHD is not some terrible pathology that is visible from the earliest development. It's just a minimal brain dysfunction that causes the brain to work in a specific way." - says Dr. Zlatin Ivanov, Psychiatrist.

    Most often, the disease appears before the age of 4, but the age at which a definitive diagnosis can be made is 8-10 years. In some cases (e.g., with a symptom of lack of attention without hyperactivity), the syndrome can be diagnosed only in adolescence.

    The main symptoms of ADHD:

    • Inattention
    • Impulsivity
    • Hyperactivity

    Often, ADHD is manifested by anxiety, irritability, depression or apathy, and severe behavioral disorders. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder can be diagnosed only by specialists, so if you suspect ADHD, make an appointment with our experienced ADHD specialists at Online Psychiatrists.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How to Get Diagnosed With ADHD as an Adult in NYC?

    To get an ADHD diagnosis as an adult in New York, you should consult with a psychiatrist, psychologist, or clinical social worker who specializes in ADHD. They will conduct a comprehensive assessment, including a personal history and symptom evaluation. Contact your health insurance provider to find a specialist who will cover the cost, or inquire about telemedicine options.

    What Therapy Is Best for Adult ADHD?

    For adults with ADHD, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is recommended to combat negative thinking patterns and develop practical skills. ADHD coaching that focuses on organization, time management, and goal setting can also be helpful. Therapy should be tailored to the individual, so it is important to discuss options with a mental health professional.

    What Is the Current Treatment for Adult ADHD?

    The treatment of ADHD in adults usually involves a combination of medication and therapy. Medications such as stimulants (e.g., Adderall, Ritalin) and non-stimulants (e.g., Strattera) help to control symptoms. Therapeutic options such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and ADHD coaching support behavioral changes and coping strategies. In addition, lifestyle changes, such as better organization and stress management, can complement treatment.

    Is It Hard to Get an ADHD Diagnosis as an Adult?

    Diagnosing ADHD in an adult can be difficult due to the overlap of symptoms with other conditions and the availability of specialized healthcare facilities. However, with a thorough assessment by an experienced professional, a diagnosis can be made. An experienced adult ADHD specialist should be consulted for an accurate assessment and diagnosis.

    Can ADHD Get Worse With Age?

    ADHD symptoms can change with age but do not necessarily worsen. For some adults, symptoms can be better managed with appropriate treatment and coping strategies. For others, however, difficulties may increase due to life demands, stress, or untreated symptoms. It is important that people with ADHD continue to work with healthcare professionals to adjust their treatment plans as needed.
