Hyperactivity disorder, was not only children but also adults. Approximately four percent of adults have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or better known as hyperactivity, and undiagnosed.
About half of children with hyperactivity disorder, will still have it as adults. Diagnosis of hyperactivity as an adult it is very important.
"That's because adults are hyperactive tend to frequent accidents, unplanned pregnancy and violence," said Martin W. Wetzel, MD, assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of
Nebraska Medical Center, as quoted from Health.com
To determine whether an adult hyperactivity disorder, you can see the following five signs. But for a more accurate medical diagnosis, you should consult with a psychologist or psychiatrist.
1. Often agitated
Children with ADHD may seem far too energetic, but adults will actually often feel tense and anxious. Adults showed no signs of a more obvious, such as running and jumping.
"Hyperactivity in adults will be more subtle in the form of anxiety," said Colette de Marneffe, PhD, a clinical psychologist.
2. Personal relationship is always problematic
Newly forged relationship will inevitably lead to feelings of pleasure and passionate. But it's all the feelings that can be lost within a short time in adults with hyperactivity, precisely when the relationship was stable.
"Often adults with ADHD actually have difficulty with transitions. When the relationship becomes more stable and predictable, conflicts tend to arise," said de Marneffe.
3. The risk seeker
People with ADHD are always interested in activities that stimulate adrenaline. They may engage in risky behavior, such as speeding, gambling, even infidelity.
The most important thing is to channel the desire to have fun in an activity that does not endanger the work and family life. According Marneffe, activities such as parasailing, bungee jumping or adventure is a better choice.
4. Focus easily split
You're calling someone, but your mind is thinking about something else unrelated. And, it often happens, until you can not continue the conversation.
A person with ADHD, it is difficult to maintain the mind to stay focused on a problem. Unimportant things such as sound, movement, until lamuna, can easily ruin the focus of attention.
5. Impulsive
If you always say what's on your mind without considering the consequences, it is a sign of ADHD. Act more on an impulse, rather than thinking, can cause problems with family and environment. Examples such as, suddenly stop working or go long without telling the couple.
