**Understanding ADHD and Its Impact**

Many individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, or personality disorders that do not respond to treatment may actually have ADHD. ADHD is not an illness or disease, but if it is not understood and managed, it can lead to mental health issues such as anxiety and depression.

People with ADHD often recognize their potential but find it challenging to realize it. This can be very demoralizing and can significantly affect one's self-esteem and confidence. Persistent failures due to inattention, easy distractibility, and impulsivity can hinder the achievement of personal goals and objectives.

Therefore, it is important to consider the possibility of having ADHD. ADHD is not an illness; it is a different way of thinking and behaving. However, in the modern world, this different way of thinking and behaving can negatively impact performance in academic settings and at work. It can also affect personal, social, and family life.

Understanding oneself and educating oneself about ADHD can solve half of the problem. The response to medication is often very positive, but behavioral management strategies are also helpful when used alongside medication.

If you need further information on how to get assessed for ADHD and receive treatment, please contact the ADHD clinic at Inam Psychiatry Ltd.

ADHD medications work at two levels:
1.Immediate effect on the brain and behaviour.
2.Delayed effects at Neuroplasticity level: When we do something repeatedly, it becomes habits as well.
So if medications improve our concentration, impulsiveness, and behaviour on daily, then in the long run, the brain develops pathways for the new behaviour.
It's like learning driving, we need support in the start, but then it becomes second nature habit.

ADHD medications work at two levels:
Immediate chemical effects of the ADHD medications.
Delayed effects at Neuroplasticity level: When we do something repeatedly for months and years, it becomes habits as well.
So if medications improve our concentration, impulsiveness, and behaviour on daily basis, then in the long run, the brain develops pathways for the new behaviour.
It's like learning driving, we need support in the start, but then it becomes second nature.
