Symptoms of ADHD in Adults Dr. Amen was concerned that a married woman of 43 years old could have ADD. She was struggling to keep up with her school work and household chores. She was disorganized, and often lost her wallet or keys. She was often prone to forgetting appointments and losing track of time. She was also depressed with chronic sadness not related to depression or depression, but a negative outlook on life and low self-esteem. Inattentive ADD People with inattention ADHD are prone to making mistakes that aren't paying attention to the details. They may have trouble remembering what they've heard, or fail to complete a project or homework assignment. They frequently lose keys, wallets, and other objects they need to live. In the end, they often miss appointments or have difficulty keeping track of their bills and messages. Children with inattentive ADD aren't as obvious since they don't display any behavior issues that are obvious. This subtype of ADD is more common among girls than in boys. Teachers are often unaware of their symptoms, since they don't conform to the stereotype of a “bad kid'. adhd in men symptoms with inattentive ADHD frequently have difficulty following directions at home and at work. They also tend to procrastinate or skip tasks that require a sustained mental effort. They may also have difficulty listen to lectures or conversations and are easily distracted by other distractions such as thoughts that are not related or the internet or television. Inattentive ADHD symptoms could be mistaken for laziness or lack of motivation. Many adults are upset when family members or colleagues constantly remind them of their missed commitments. It is important to understand that inattentive ADD can be triggered by stress, other mental disorders, or physical ailments. A comprehensive evaluation by a health care provider or mental health professional is required to confirm the presence of symptoms and to determine whether treatment is necessary. They will ask for details about your medical history and a physical exam and review your lifestyle in order to pinpoint any other issues which may be contributing to your symptoms. Overfocused ADD People with people with ADD are unable to shift their focus, and instead, they become focused on specific activities. They can also be highly organized, which could confuse certain people and cause misdiagnosis. Because they are lacking dopamine and serotonin they are usually treated with the standard ADHD medication that increases dopamine and serotonin. This can actually aggravate their ADD symptoms. They may feel trapped because they are unable to control their thoughts, which causes them to suffer from anxiety and depression. They are also prone to become stuck in negative thought patterns and behaviours that are hard to break free from without intervention. Adults suffering from Overfocused ADD have observed positive results from cognitive-behavioral therapies to recognize and alter negative thought patterns, mindfulness practices that reduce rumination and skill training. When a person has overfocused ADD, their brain's anterior cingulate gyrus is hyperactive, which can lead to hyper-focus and moodiness. The stimulant ADD medications can stimulate this part of the brain to much, which can exacerbate symptoms and irritability. This is the reason why a healthy diet and other non-medicated treatments have proven to be beneficial for these individuals. People suffering from Overfocused ADD tend to become “stuck” in negative cycles, which can strain relationships and cause stress. Setting up a routine and using a digital planner and interacting with communities that support each other can ease some of their symptoms. Couples coaching for ADD can also be very beneficial in setting clear roles and expectations for both partners. This can help improve communication and to create a more balanced and healthy life for both of them. As always, the most effective treatment for ADD/ADHD is to work with a Naturopathic or Medical Doctor to determine the best program that can help you reduce and manage your symptoms. Anxious ADD ADD patients are often also suffering from anxiety. It could be a few irritating anxieties or a complete anxiety disorder, such as panic disorder or social anxiety disorder. Whatever the case, whether it's an occasional anxious feeling or a more persistent anxiety that is serious, it can significantly interfere with work and life. About 80% of people suffering from ADHD have at least one additional diagnosis, and anxiety is the most frequent comorbid diagnosis. Anxious ADD is one of the theorized “7 types of ADD.” This kind is characterized by a severe anxiety and a feeling of nervousness and inattention. It is caused by dysregulated brain. In the case of this kind the brain mapping qEEG can show that certain areas of the brain are either overactive or are out of balance. This includes the limbic system and prefrontal cortex. Those with this kind of ADD are highly sensitive to external stimuli such as light, noise and touch. They tend to overreact and have short fuses. They are prone to repetitive negative thoughts or behavior and often engage in self-sabotage. They are also more likely to be impulsive, argumentative and oppositional personality. Treatment for this type of ADD involves the balance of GABA and dopamine while helping to promote relaxation. People suffering from this type of ADD need to get enough rest, exercise and eat healthfully. They should also avoid processed foods and sugar. If possible, they should use the same routine for sleeping and waking up and adhere to it daily. Lastly, they should try to include physical activities in their educational or work-related tasks. For instance, if they have a desk job, they should stand up or walk around at least once an hour. Ring of Fire ADD This kind of ADD is known as having an overactive Cerebral cortex and increased activity on the left and rights Parietal Lobes and the left-right Temporal Lobes. Those with Ring of Fire ADD will likely experience all of the typical ADHD symptoms, including difficulty staying focused and impulsive behavior. They might also exhibit high levels of anxiety as well as rapid thoughts. They may be overwhelmed by sensory stimuli and are often rigid and irritable. Ring of Fire ADD is often misdiagnosed as Bipolar Disorder because the symptoms are very similar. But the difference is that people who suffer from Bipolar Disorder will cycle through periods of mania and depression and those who suffer from Ring of Fire ADD typically have symptoms that occur on a regular basis. Ring of Fire ADD can be more difficult to treat when compared to other forms of ADHD. The symptoms are usually linked to an imbalance in brain chemicals, and treatment usually is focused on correcting the imbalance. The good news is that by using a set of strategies that are well-established, people can manage their Ring of Fire ADHD symptoms and live a balanced and productive life.

People with this type of ADD struggle with organization, planning prioritizing, time management and self-monitoring. They are easily distracted and lack the mental endurance to finish tasks they do not like. These individuals are usually not labeled as “hyperactive,” but they are troubled in following instructions and frequently miss appointments. They have a reduced flow of blood to the prefrontal cortex as well as low dopamine levels. People with this form of ADD have trouble with their emotions and experience difficulties dealing with anxiety, stress and depression. They might have suffered trauma or abuse within the family or experienced difficult separation. People with limbic ADD have less activity in their prefrontal cortex, as well as irregularities in the temporal lobes which control moods.
