Symptoms of Adult ADHD
Unlike childhood ADHD, which often includes hyperactivity, adult ADHD symptoms may manifest differently, making them harder to recognize.
Some individuals also experience executive dysfunction, making it difficult to plan, manage time, or prioritize. Emotional dysregulation, restlessness, and impulsivity are also common. Recognizing these patterns is the first step toward understanding how ADHD is impacting your daily life.
Common symptoms of adult ADHD include:
- Easily distracted and difficulty concentrating
- Trouble prioritizing and managing tasks
- Chronic procrastination and forgetfulness
- Restlessness and difficulty relaxing
- Poor time management and disorganization
- Frequent mood swings and emotional outbursts
- Impulsive decision-making
- Difficulty maintaining stable relationships
- Low frustration tolerance
Since many of these symptoms overlap with anxiety or depression, it is crucial to get an accurate diagnosis from a healthcare professional.
Causes and Risk Factors of Adult ADHD
While the exact cause of ADHD remains unknown, research suggests that several factors may contribute to its development, including:
- Genetics – ADHD often runs in families, indicating a strong hereditary component.
- Brain structure and function – Studies show differences in brain activity and neurotransmitter levels in individuals with ADHD.
- Prenatal and early development factors – Premature birth, low birth weight, and exposure to environmental toxins or substance use during pregnancy may increase the risk of developing ADHD.
- Trauma or brain injury – In some cases, ADHD symptoms may be linked to past brain injuries.
Diagnosis of Adult ADHD
Diagnosing adult ADHD can be challenging because symptoms often overlap with other conditions like depression, anxiety, or substance use disorders. A thorough medical evaluation is essential to rule out other potential causes. The diagnostic process typically includes:
- A detailed personal and medical history review
- Psychological screening and assessment tests
- Discussion of current symptoms and daily challenges
- Evaluation of how ADHD affects work, relationships, and personal life

If you suspect you have ADHD, seeking a professional diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment.
Comprehensive Adult ADHD Treatment in Las Vegas
ADHD is a manageable condition, and effective treatment can significantly improve daily functioning, productivity, and overall well-being. Treatment for adult ADHD is not one-size-fits-all. We offer a variety of approaches, including medication management, non-medication treatment for ADHD, and ADHD coaching for adults.
Medication for ADHD
Medication is often a key part of managing adult ADHD. The most commonly prescribed medications include:
- Stimulants (e.g., Ritalin, Adderall, Concerta) – These work by increasing dopamine and norepinephrine levels, improving focus and impulse control.
- Non-stimulants (e.g., Strattera, Intuniv) – These are alternatives for individuals who cannot tolerate stimulants or have underlying medical conditions.
- Antidepressants (e.g., Wellbutrin) – Sometimes prescribed for individuals with co-existing depression or anxiety.
Medication can be highly effective, but it is important to work closely with a healthcare provider to determine the right type and dosage for your specific needs.
Psychological Therapy for ADHD
Therapy helps adults with ADHD develop strategies to improve their daily functioning. Common therapy approaches include:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) – Helps individuals recognize and change negative thought patterns, improve organization, and manage impulsivity.
- Coaching and skills training – Focuses on time management, goal-setting, and productivity strategies.
- Relationship counseling – Helps address communication difficulties in personal and professional relationships.
Lifestyle Adjustments for ADHD Management
Small lifestyle changes can have a big impact on managing ADHD symptoms. Recommended strategies include:
- Creating a structured routine to improve consistency
- Using planners, calendars, and reminders to stay organized
- Breaking tasks into smaller steps to avoid overwhelm
- Regular exercise and a balanced diet to improve focus and energy
- Mindfulness and relaxation techniques to manage stress
