From the perspective of the individual seeking answers, there are two distinct situations that can arise. One is that the person experiences symptoms that seem to be ADHD. The other is that the individual believes the symptoms are indicative of something besides ADHD, and a diagnosis of ADHD is found.
Where’s the confusion?
There are several mental health conditions that present symptoms that may overlap. This can be true of learning disabilities, anxiety, depression, and more. This can be especially true if there is no interference with daily life. Also, traits can present differently according to each person. This is where professionalism and experience is highly valued. Discerning professionals at Clinical Psychology Services use evidence-based resources and practices in assessing individuals.
What’s the solution?
Persistent signs of inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity are what marks ADHD. Although it occurs due to a combination of factors, many studies have suggested that genetics influence its occurrence. One thing is certain: whether the person is sure or not, healthier lives can be lived with a simple phone call or visit.
