ADHD: Misunderstood, Underdiagnosed—and Treatable
ADHD affects 1 in 9 children in the U.S., according to the CDC, and more than 8% of college students. Despite this, many students struggle silently, battling distractions, incomplete assignments, and social challenges. Some even forget to take the medication that can help manage their symptoms.
Andrea Chronis-Tuscano, a leading expert on ADHD, explains that this neurodevelopmental disorder—marked by inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and emotional dysregulation—can have a huge impact, but it’s highly treatable.
October is ADHD Awareness Month, and here’s what you need to know:
1. **ADHD is Treatable**
ADHD can be managed through various treatments like behavioral therapy, cognitive therapy, organizational skills training, and medication. Chronis-Tuscano highlights that many individuals with ADHD find their strengths, adapt, and thrive. Seeking help from a doctor is the first step towards diagnosis and treatment.
2. **Untreated ADHD Can Have Serious Consequences**
If left untreated, ADHD can lead to severe issues, including depression, substance abuse, and even suicide. Chronis-Tuscano stresses that ADHD isn’t just about being forgetful or unmotivated—it’s a serious condition that can shorten life expectancy by 10 to 15 years.
3. **Disparities in ADHD Diagnosis and Treatment**
Not everyone has easy access to diagnosis or treatment due to factors like socioeconomic status, lack of healthcare access, or stigma. There's also a gap in recognizing ADHD in girls and women, as symptoms often present differently compared to boys.
Understanding ADHD and breaking down the stigma can help more people access the care they need and improve their lives significantly.
