About ADHD in Adulthood
Factors That May Trigger or Contribute to ADHD in Adulthood
The development of ADHD is usually multifactorial. Various neurobiological, genetic and psychosocial factors interact in this process. There is often a higher incidence of the condition within families, whilst individual life circumstances and persistent stress can exacerbate the symptoms.
In adulthood, ADHD often becomes particularly burdensome when the demands on self-organisation, concentration, time management and emotional regulation increase. Work-related pressure, family responsibilities, relationship conflicts or repeated experiences of feeling overwhelmed can contribute to existing symptoms becoming more pronounced or being experienced as a greater burden.
Signs, Symptoms and Consequences
- Problems with concentration and attention
- Marked inner restlessness or a persistent sense of agitation
- Impulsive behaviour or hasty decisions
- Difficulties with planning, structuring and organisation
- Forgetfulness in everyday life
- Difficulties in seeing tasks through to the end
- Easily distracted
- Emotional tension or a low tolerance for frustration
- Exhaustion caused by constantly having to manage oneself in everyday life
Diagnosis and Treatment at the Verus Clinic
The aim of treating ADHD in adulthood is to gain a better understanding of the individual’s symptoms, to identify distressing patterns and to develop practical strategies for managing problems with concentration, restlessness and impulsivity more effectively in everyday life.
We use a combination of various therapeutic methods and a multimodal treatment approach. Depending on the individual’s situation, psychotherapeutic measures, psychoeducational elements, supportive training and, where indicated, pharmacological treatment options may be incorporated into the overall treatment plan.
Treatment takes place within a structured, supportive and professionally sound framework. Our multi-disciplinary team takes a holistic approach to your symptoms and resources. The aim is to help you gain a clearer understanding of how to manage your symptoms and to strengthen your ability to cope in everyday life in the long term.
