Fahadh Faasil, a noted South Indian actor, was recently diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 41.
ADHD is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. This news came to light in May 2024 during an event at a school for children with special needs.
ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that can affect millions of children and adults. There are three main types of ADHD:
- Predominantly inattentive presentation (ADHD-PI)
- Predominantly hyperactive-impulsive presentation (ADHD-HI)
- Combined presentation (ADHD-C)
Symptoms of ADHD can be broken down into two main categories:
- Inattention: characterized by difficulty paying attention, focusing on tasks, and staying organized.
- Hyperactivity-impulsivity: characterized by excessive fidgeting and talking, difficulty staying still, and acting without thinking.
Here are some of the common symptoms of ADHD:
- Inattention
- Making careless mistakes or having difficulty completing schoolwork or chores.
- Often losing things needed for tasks or activities.
- Easily distracted by unrelated stimuli.
- Having difficulty sustaining attention in tasks or play activities.
- Often not seeming to listen when spoken to directly.
- Difficulty following through on instructions and not finishing tasks.
- Often forgetting to do daily chores or errands.
- Having difficulty organizing tasks and activities.
- Disliking tasks that require sustained mental effort.
- Losing things frequently.
- Hyperactivity-impulsivity
- Fidgeting or squirming in one’s seat.
- Leaving one’s seat when remaining seated is expected.
- Feeling restless or “on the go.”
- Talking excessively.
- Blurts out an answer before a question has been completed.
- Difficulty waiting one’s turn.
- Often interrupting or intruding on others.
- Difficulty engaging in activities that require remaining still for long periods.
It’s important to note that everyone experiences these symptoms from time to time. However, for someone with ADHD, these symptoms are more severe and persistent, and they can cause significant problems in their life.
If you think you or someone you know may have ADHD, it’s important to see a doctor or mental health professional for a diagnosis. There is no cure for ADHD, but there are effective treatments that can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
