The common Symptoms of ADHD that are screened for include inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. Inattention may manifest as difficulty following instructions, forgetting tasks, and trouble focusing on activities or conversations. People with ADHD may appear disorganized, frequently lose items, or fail to complete assignments. Hyperactivity involves excessive fidgeting, difficulty sitting still, and a tendency to be overly talkative or restless. Impulsivity is characterized by difficulty waiting turns, interrupting others, or making hasty decisions without considering the consequences.
ADHD Symptoms can present differently across individuals and age groups. In children, symptoms may include frequent disruptions in class, an inability to stay seated, or difficulty playing quietly. In adults, symptoms may show as disorganization in daily tasks, chronic lateness, difficulty managing time, and challenges in maintaining focus during meetings or tasks. Screening tools help identify these patterns by comparing observed behaviors to those typical for the person’s age and developmental stage, helping guide further diagnostic steps.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a Mental Health condition that can occur after Experiencing or Witnessing a traumatic event, such as a natural disaster, combat, or physical assault. Individuals with PTSD may experience symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, and intense distress when reminded of the event. Other common symptoms include heightened anxiety, irritability, emotional numbness, and avoiding situations that may trigger memories of the trauma. These symptoms can significantly interfere with daily life, relationships, and overall well-being.
Treatment for PTSD typically involves a combination of Psychological support and Medication. Psychological treatments help individuals process and manage their traumatic memories, reducing their emotional distress and helping them regain control of their lives. Medications can be used to alleviate symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances. Additionally, support from family, friends, or support groups can play a crucial role in healing, offering comfort and a sense of connection. With appropriate treatment and support, individuals with PTSD can learn to manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
