Bringing Adult ADHD into Focus

E.K.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is increasingly recognized as a condition that affects adults—not just children. In fact, ADHD may last into adulthood in 60 percent of cases. “I think it’s more pervasive than what’s being diagnosed,” notes Dr. David B. Rawlings, a board-certified neuropsychologist in Naples. He explains that adult symptoms are similar to those in children but may be less exaggerated. Potential signs may include difficulty concentrating or often being distracted, complaints about not listening well, or frequently losing everyday objects like car keys. If these issues affect your work or relationships, Rawlings recommends seeking treatment, which typically involves medication but may include therapies like psychotherapy or neurofeedback.
