Experts say behavioural issues are often wrongly ascribed to depression because many of the symptoms are similar<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gncdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/adhd-in-dubai-.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-15339\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gncdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/adhd-in-dubai-.png\" alt=\"adhd in dubai\" width=\"291\" height=\"526\" \/><\/a>Jared Alden, a psychotherapist, has personal experience of what it is like to live with ADHD.<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While psychologists agree that ADHD is not an adult-onset disorder and that symptoms begin in childhood, many who have the condition are unaware, said Deema Sihweil, clinical director and psychologist at Dubai\u2019s Carbone Clinic. \u201cSince attention deficit disorders are relatively new diagnoses, adults of this generation may never have been properly diagnosed as children,\u201d Dr Sihweil said. \u201cThis could lead to great misconceptions about what could be going on in problematic behaviours in adults.\u201d ADHD is typically characterised by inattention and impulsivity. Symptoms range from a lack of focus or concentration on tasks, social or vocational problems, poor impulse control, sleep disorders, time-management difficulties and memory problems. Because these symptoms are also characteristic of depressive disorders, the condition is often misdiagnosed, Dr Sihweil said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cOften adults with underlying cognitive attentional difficulties may be diagnosed and treated for depression,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd sometimes adults may be diagnosed with ADHD when any underlying emotional disorder may be at the root of the problems. \u201cSo it is important for adults presenting with symptoms to get evaluated and tested to receive an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.\u201d If untreated, adults with ADHD are more likely to have work, social and relationship-related impairments, said Dr Hanan Hussein, a consultant psychiatrist at the American Centre for Psychiatry and Neurology. \u201cThey are more likely to perform poorly at work, change employers with fewer occupational achievements and have a lower socioeconomic status. \u201cThey are more likely to have driving violations. They may get involved in use of illegal substances more frequently. They are more likely to have more marital problems and multiple marriages with higher incidence of separation and divorce. \u201cLack of awareness and misconceptions about ADHD symptoms is behind the seemingly low prevalence of adult ADHD,\u201d Dr Hussein said. \u201cIt is falsely believed that ADHD is a willpower problem, but it\u2019s essentially a chemical problem in the management systems of the brain.\u201d ADHD adults are often found in specific jobs, most often in creative roles, said Jared Alden, of the German Neuroscience Centre in Dubai Healthcare City.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIt is true they are the artists and thinkers of our time. You will not often find them being accountants. They are unlikely to be in the diplomatic corps or any profession that requires conformity, consistency of habits and sitting still. \u201cThe ADHD adult is a global thinker who can see the end result quickly and is often full of unique ideas. They struggle with the details and get easily bored with the process of bringing their great ideas to fruition.\u201d While there is no UAE specific data for adult ADHD, Mr Alden believes the prevalence is in line with global statistics. \u201cThere is not a week that goes by in the past 20 years that I have not had someone with ADHD come into my office. I would say the same has been true for my last six years in the UAE.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">The inside track on ADHD, When it comes to treating adults with ADHD, the psychotherapist Jared Alden has a lot of insight.<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gncdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/dubai-counsellor-jared.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-15320\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gncdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/dubai-counsellor-jared.jpg\" alt=\"dubai counsellor jared\" width=\"520\" height=\"346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gncdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/dubai-counsellor-jared.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.gncdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/dubai-counsellor-jared-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gncdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/dubai-counsellor-jared-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.gncdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/dubai-counsellor-jared-225x150.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He struggled with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in childhood but it was not until his late 20s, when studying the condition as part of his psychotherapy training, that he recognised a lot of the symptoms in himself. \u201cI thought \u2018wow, that sounds a lot like me\u2019,\u201d said Mr Alden, 52, of the German Neuroscience Centre in Dubai Healthcare City. \u201cI went through testing and it came up with ADHD hyperactive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIt made a big difference to me. Anyone who meets me, even now at my age, knows I am hyper and full of energy. When I was younger it was really extreme. It was nice to know that it was a brain thing and not a character issue.\u201d The condition is typically diagnosed in childhood. \u201cIt was not really a very wellknown thing at the time,\u201d said Mr Alden, an American. \u201cWhat makes it very hard is that for most people their first experience of having ADHD is in school. But schools just don\u2019t have time for that student who is different, so we tend to not get a good experience of our early schooling. That tends to affect us throughout life \u2013 some people will think they are dumb or any number of different things.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cFor me it was unrecognised when I was a younger student. I found assignments really hard in a specific way. It would take me a long time to form the ideas; I would understand it, but the hard part was putting it down on paper and explaining what I knew. \u201cI really struggled getting other people to understand what I was trying to say.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The diagnosis gave him more compassion when dealing with the ADHD adults he now sees weekly. \u201cIt gave me a lot of insight,\u201d he said. \u201cYou can spot people very quickly. It is the person who tends to be just a little bit different. It can be in their language \u2013 they can talk about things differently. They have different ideas. \u201cWe have a very hard time sitting still and we don\u2019t like doing things in a ritualistic way. We always like to bounce around and do things our own way.\u201d He believes the condition can bring many benefits and many can use it to their advantage to be more creative, driven and independent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIt has certainly made me more driven because I have had to work hard for my academic qualifications. It means I am a pretty good worker generally.\u201d Mr Alden said people react to his ADHD in different ways. \u201cPeople are surprised by how much energy I have. I don\u2019t think people are always comfortable with someone who is different. And I am certainly different.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adults can be missed &#8211; The National, 6 Nov 2014, \u2013 Jennifer Bell jbell@thenational.ae A condition commonly associated with hyperactive children, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often goes undiagnosed in adults, leading to potential professional and personal problems, experts say.
