What is ADHD in Adulthood?
Dr. Afsari highlights how ADHD presents differently in adults compared to children. Symptoms like difficulty focusing, impulsivity, and disorganization can disrupt work, relationships, and daily life. Yet, many adults remain undiagnosed, attributing these challenges to stress or personality traits.
Cultural and Societal Pressures
Dr. Afsari sheds light on how cultural norms and societal expectations might be exacerbating ADHD prevalence. The fast-paced, multitasking nature of modern life can amplify symptoms, making it harder to identify and address the root causes.
Managing ADHD: A Holistic Approach
The conversation doesn’t stop at diagnosis. Dr. Afsari emphasizes a holistic approach to managing ADHD that includes:
- Diet: Proper nutrition plays a pivotal role in brain health. Learn which foods can support focus and reduce hyperactivity.
- Medication: While not the only solution, medication can be an important tool for some individuals, offering clarity and stability.
- Lifestyle Factors: Exercise, sleep, and stress management are crucial. Dr. Afsari shares practical tips to create a supportive daily routine.
