ADHD, or Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, is a neurodevelopmental disorder which affects the way how the brain develops and functions. ADHD is commonly associated with symptoms like inattentiveness and hyperactivity of the brain at the same time. The condition is mostly diagnosed in children between the ages of 3 and 6.
In adults, when the undiagnosed ADHD persists, the symptoms often evolve with age. The inattentiveness is internalized in the form of constant restlessness, inability to engage in conversations, and speaking things abruptly without weighing the consequences. Furthermore, the symptoms also become subtle, this in a way that the symptoms start showing with other disorders like anxiety and stress.
Adult ADHD assessment is a multi-step, extensive evaluation; it is often carried out to observe whether the ADHD symptoms persist in the adult. This assessment is not like drawing blood and sending it for a scan; rather, it is a comprehensive and detailed assessment that takes from 90 minutes to four hours.
