Living with ADHD: Recognizing Signs & Finding Support

In this video, we dive into Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and its effects on individuals of all ages. Dr. Calvin Tran, a Board-Certified Psychiatrist at Elite DNA, shares valuable insights on recognizing the symptoms of ADHD in both children and adults, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and effective management strategies.

Recognizing ADHD Symptoms:

Children: Symptoms often include hyperactivity, impulsivity, and difficulty completing school assignments or following directions in class.
Adults: Common challenges involve disorganization, poor time management, and struggles with daily responsibilities, such as household chores and workplace tasks.
Dr. Tran explains how the symptoms can manifest differently based on age. For example, while children may have trouble focusing in class, adults might struggle to stay organized, leading to issues like being late for meetings or making careless errors.

Why Early Diagnosis Matters: Recognizing ADHD symptoms early can significantly impact academic and career success. Untreated ADHD can lead to further challenges in both personal and professional life, affecting overall mental health.
