ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects a person's ability to focus, control impulses, and regulate energy levels. It is commonly diagnosed in childhood but can persist into adulthood. People with ADHD may experience difficulty staying organised, following through on tasks, and managing time effectively. Symptoms vary from person to person and typically fall into three categories: inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.
Why ADHD is a form of disability?
- Neurotransmitter Imbalance: This imbalance affects the brain’s reward system, making it harder to stay motivated and complete tasks.
- Brain Structure Differences: Studies show that people with ADHD have differences in the prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain responsible for decision-making, problem-solving, and self-regulation.
- Hyperactivity in Brain Networks: The Default Mode Network (DMN), which controls mind-wandering, is overactive, making it hard to stay focused.
- Increased Stress and Anxiety: The inability to focus, control impulses, or manage time effectively can lead to chronic stress and anxiety, especially in demanding situations.
- Physical Symptoms: Restlessness and Hyperactivity - a constant need to move or fidget.
Solutions for ADHD
- Behavioural Therapy: Helps individuals develop coping strategies and improve focus.
- Medication: Stimulants and non-stimulant medications can help regulate attention and behaviour.
- Time Management Techniques: Using tools like planners, timers, and task lists to stay organised.
- Mindfulness & Exercise: Activities like yoga, meditation, and physical exercise enhance concentration.
- Diet & Nutrition: A balanced diet with adequate protein and omega-3 fatty acids supports brain function.
- Coaching & Support Groups: ADHD coaching and support groups provide guidance and motivation.
