Signs of ADHD
The three most important signs of ADHD are attention deficit disorder, impulsivity and hyperactivity. In ADD, hyperactivity is not present.
- Attention deficit disorder manifests itself in the fact that affected individuals have difficulty concentrating and do not manage to remain attentive for a longer period of time. In addition, they are easily distracted. This can lead, for example, to not finishing their studies or losing their job, as tasks are completed in an unfocused and faulty manner or are forgotten.
- Impulsivity means that people with ADHD find it difficult to control needs or feelings. They also tend to act without thinking. In relationships, impulsivity often causes conflict and tension.
- Hyperactivity means an inner restlessness or an excessive urge to move. In adults, motor restlessness can also manifest itself in the fact that they feel driven.

In addition to the clinical examination and the detailed anamnesis, this includes the implementation of validated psychological procedures and tests. If there is sufficient evidence of an ADHD or ADD diagnosis in adulthood, there is the possibility of adjusting the patient with medication. The choice of medication is made individually and according to the most current guideline. Efficacy and tolerability are continuously evaluated closely under inpatient conditions.
