ADHD, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is most pronounced in childhood but carries over into adulthood. Despite the fact that the disorder is increasingly talked about, various myths, half-truths, even lies are still widespread about it. It is often confused, for example, with autism.

When ADHD is mentioned, most of us think of a “troubled” schstudent – distracted, unfocused, undisciplined , with poorer grades. In some cases, the symptoms disappear in adulthood, but often persist in small variations. Adults with ADHD, for example, have difficulty maintaining a stable relationship, finding a stable job, etc. In the past, diagnosis was not at the level it is today – this is one of the reasons that people only discover their illness when it affects their children. Problems such as low attention span or distractibility are thus mistaken by those around them as a sign of laziness and unwillingness. Hyperactivity and impulsivity are in turn attributed to lack of maturity. Other psychological disorders or illnesses may also be involved, such as depression, anxiety, susceptibility to addiction, etc. The triggers, ADHD and hyperactivity, remain undiagnosed.
To accurately diagnose the condition, a psychiatrist should be sought. The examination takes the form of an interview in which the patient’s past history, the course of their difficulties from childhood to the present; and how these problems affect their quality of life are discussed.
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that arises from different brain development and is likely to be hereditary in nature. However, other risk factors such as the mother’s alcohol, drug use and smoking during pregnancy, complications during childbirth, unhealthy family environment and negative life events in the child’s life are also risk factors.
The impact of ADHD on a person’s life can be simplistically described as a disorder that limits the use of a person’s potential. It results in poorer social participation, lower quality of life and socio-economic status, problems in forming and maintaining relationships, etc. Problems with the law, a tendency to fall into addictions or even excessive debt are also common.
An important fact – ADHD can be treated. However, treatment should be set by a professional doctor (psychiatrist) and usually consists of 3 pillars: psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy and education. However, the use of the substance of the future – carnosine – can also help to improve the condition. This promotes memory, protects the nervous system, improves concentration and logical thinking. Carnosine can be found in our nutritional supplement Carnosine EXTRA, which you can buy at the pharmacy or in our shop.
