Understanding Adult ADHD Signs
ADHD, yaani Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, sirf bachchon ki samasya nahi hai; yeh kai vayasakon ki zindagi mein chhupi hui hai. Bahut se log isse samajhte nahi hain, jabki yeh unke career, rishte, aur atma-samman par gehra asar dalta hai. Bholna, dhyan bhatakna, aur har kaam ko adhoora chhod dena, yeh sab iske chhote chhote sanket hain jo aksar vyaktitva ke quirks ke roop mein dekhe jaate hain.
Dr. Fabian Almeida, Consultant Psychiatrist, ka kehna hai ki “Bahut se vayasak ADHD ke hone ka ehsaas nahi karte.” Yeh unhe careless ya lazy ke roop mein samjha jaata hai, jabki asal mein unke dimaag ke attention aur impulse control systems alag tarike se kaam karte hain. Aksar, isse pareshani ya depression jaise dusre samasyaon ke saath galat samjha jaata hai, jabki asal karan ADHD hota hai.
Dr. Kersi Chavda ke mutabik, vayasak ADHD aksar competency ke peechhe chhupi hoti hai. “Bahut se log overcompensate karte hain; ve deadlines par accha karte hain, lekin consistency mein struggle karte hain,” ve samjhate hain. Is “functional chaos” ko dekhna mushkil hota hai. Ek vyakti kaam mein safal dikh sakta hai, lekin andar se wo scattered mehsoos karta hai, priority dene mein sangharsh karta hai.
Yeh symptoms aksar rozana ki zindagi mein ghul mil jaate hain. Agar aapko yeh patterns parichit lagte hain, toh experts kehte hain ki professional evaluation lena faydemand ho sakta hai. “Diagnosis guesswork nahi hai,” Dr. Almeida kehte hain. “Hum detailed history, symptoms, childhood behavior, aur psychometric testing ka istemal karte hain.”
In assessments se dusre conditions jaise depression, anxiety, ya thyroid imbalance ko rule out kiya ja sakta hai. Treatment ko vyakti ke hisab se tailor kiya jaata hai aur ismein dawa, counseling, behavioral therapy, aur disciplined routines shamil hote hain. Agar ADHD ka ilaj nahi kiya jaata, toh iska asar har kshetra par padta hai, lekin sahi samarthan ke saath, parinaam behtareen hote hain.
“Medication dimaag ke chemistry ko stabilise kar sakti hai, lekin lifestyle structure aur self-awareness sabse bada farq dalte hain,” Dr. Almeida kehte hain. Chhoti si badlav, jaise planners aur reminders ka istemal, ya bade kaamon ko chhote goals mein todna, bade rahat de sakte hain. Exercise, neend, aur mindfulness bhi symptoms ko naturally manage karne mein madadgar hain.
ADHD ek moral failing nahi hai; yeh ek neurological pattern hai jo samajhne ki zarurat hai, sharm ki nahi. Bahut se log apne frustration, disorganization, ya overthinking ko naam nahi dete aur isliye wo isse samajhte nahi hain.
Jaise Dr. Chavda kehte hain, “Ek baar jab aap isse pehchaan lete hain, toh aap khud se ladna band kar dete hain aur apne dimaag ke saath kaam karna shuru karte hain.” Kyunki dhyan dene ka pehla kadam yeh samajhna hai ki aap pehle kyun dhyan bhatak rahe the.
