Most of the cases I've read about ADHD are kids. Are there any adults here that are suffering from ADHD and how do you cope with it?

If a kid is diagnosed with ADHD, chances are it will be a lifelong condition. But there are also some adults who were not diagnosed when they were kids, but had symptoms back then. It can be treated with a combination of medication and behavior therapy

Few adults are identified or treated for adult ADHD. Adults with ADHD may have difficulty following directions, remembering information, concentrating, organizing tasks or completing work within time limits. If these difficulties are not managed appropriately, they can cause associated behavioral, emotional, social, vocational and academic problems. The same drug treatments proven to be efficacious in children appear to benefit adults with ADHD. Although most people don't outgrow ADHD, they do learn to adapt. If the difficulties associated with ADHD are managed appropriately throughout their lives, adults with ADHD can learn to develop personal strengths and become productive and successful.

Adult ADHD may be treated with one or more of the following:

Individual cognitive and behavioral therapy to enhance self-esteem.
Relaxation training and stress management to reduce anxiety and stress.
Behavioral coaching to teach the person strategies for organizing home and work activities.
Job coaching or mentoring to support better working relationships and improve on-the-job performance.
Family education and therapy.

A psychologist is the way to go to if you want to consult your problem mentally and ecmotionally. They can also determine if you have ADHD and also give you some traetment or theraphy session to cure he illness.

I have read on a article that there is a adult person who has adhd. He alwasy forgot to take his medication so it affects om his job. He cannot concentrate on his job bcause of his illness and his boss is so kind to let him still stay on his office because he understand the sickness of ADHD. Tehy recommend him to see a doctor and must drink the prescribe drug during his office time to concentrate more on his profession.

What would be the treatment for adult ADHD?

There are drugs being prescribed to treat adult ADHD. These are Adderal and Ritalin. Adderal is a type of medicine that is composed of two types of amphetamine; it has a longer period of effect and it is non-addictive. Ritalin is a drug that is similar to amphetamine and it has a shorter period of effect and might cause adicition because you need to take it 3x a day rather than adderal.

Is this dangerous and addicting to ADHD patients?

This could be addicting that’s why their shrinks prescribe just a minimum dosage. This could relax the patient and relives them from being hyper active.

I thought ADHD is for children only and even adults are prone to this condition. What are the signs of getting adult ADHD?
