Though it remains one of the most studied disorders in children, ADD/ADHD in adults often goes undiagnosed. According to epidemiologic data, about 4% of the general adult population has ADHD but less than one tenth of them are diagnosed. Only a third of the adults diagnosed with ADHD are treated. 90% of adults with ADHD are unaware of their diagnosis and suffer various degrees of functional impairment. They find themselves unable to keep a job or appointments, seem constantly disorganized, and may have a history of problems at work.
The exact cause of ADHD is not fully understood, but it is believed to be largely genetic. Environmental and lifestyle factors can also exacerbate symptoms in adulthood. Dr. Soomro provides comprehensive care to adults in Litchfield, Rockland, and Westchester NY, considering both genetic and environmental influences when creating a treatment plan.
Adult ADHD can manifest itself through a variety risky behavior, such as using drugs, smoking, getting in trouble with the law, antisocial behavior and poor work history. Your psychiatrist can assess if such symptoms may be due to adult ADHD.
There are three types of ADHD: hyperactive-impulsive, inattentive, and combined. These subtypes are identified and diagnosed by the number of symptoms in each category. The existence of those symptoms in adults may be often masked by coping mechanisms or by social difficulties. Dr. Soomro, an experienced psychiatrist specializing in ADHD treatment in Westchester NY, conducts thorough evaluations to properly diagnose ADHD in adults. Common symptoms of adult ADHD include:
If you recognize these symptoms in yourself, seeking an evaluation from a qualified psychiatrist is crucial. Dr. Soomro offers ADHD assessments for adults in Litchfield, Rockland, Westchester, and the surrounding areas of NY to help you understand and manage your symptoms.
ADHD has many of the same treatment options whether it is present in an adult or a child. However, the way treatment is approached is quite different.
Adults may be taking medication for other problems, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart diseases, therefore your psychiatrist will take extra care when deciding upon the course of treatment.
Psychotherapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), is also used in treatment. Your psychiatrist may help develop organizational strategies to manage daily tasks, and also create strategies to improve self-image and interpersonal relationships that are affected.
