Women With ADD Don't Get Proper Diagnosis and Treatment
Women who suffer from ADD are often misdiagnosed and treated as doctors fail to recognize or understand the signs. A person suffering from ADD may have extreme mood swings and be mistakenly diagnosed as bipolar. They may also be frustrated when it comes to simple tasks, such as waiting in line or on the phone and then become irritable and frustrated.
Disorganization
People who are unorganized struggle to maintain a tidy, neat lifestyle. They have trouble finding things and often end up being late and can't keep their schedules, ideas, or work schedules in order. This can cause tension in relationships, cause stress levels to rise and cause a decline in productivity.
Disorganization can also cause financial issues when you don't pay your payments or are having difficulty paying off debts. People who suffer from chronic disorganization may require therapeutic interventions to create long-term strategies to get organized. However, the situational disorder is usually temporary and occurs after certain life events like an illness or loss of a loved ones or moving.
Impulsiveness
One of the hallmarks of ADHD is the tendency to be impulsive. This could include uttering a comment in the midst of the moment or buying something on the spur of the moment or taking risks without thinking. People with ADHD are also susceptible to spending too much or have financial problems. They may also struggle with emotional issues, such as anger management.
It is important to keep in mind that impulsiveness isn't the same as being rude or lacking self-control. This is a symptom of the way that the brain is wired. It can affect every aspect of your life, but it can be particularly challenging at work and in relationships. Some impulsive behavior, such as interruptions or excessive talk could cause discontent among coworkers and friends. Some impulsive behaviors, such as the tendency to shop excessively or engage in risky activities can result in negative consequences.
Researchers and psychiatrists have attempted to define impulsivity, but no single definition has been formulated. They do agree that impulsive behaviors are characterized by a lack of inhibition control and an inability to delay reward. It's also a hallmark of psychiatric disorders that are specific to certain types such as antisocial personality disorder or pyromania.
A variety of strategies, therapies, and medications can help control impulsivity, whether caused by ADHD or another ailment. For instance, someone who suffers from ADHD may benefit from cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) to understand how thoughts and emotions affect their behaviors. Medications such as antidepressants and stimulants can also be helpful.
Self-awareness and mindfulness can help reduce the impulsiveness. Be aware of times when you are most likely to act in impulsive ways and devise strategies to sabotage those times. Bring a notebook if you, for instance, often blurt out comments during text conversations or meetings. You can then go through them before you hit "send."
