Can you develop ADHD as an adult or have stress induced ADHD?
Is that a thing? I think I have that.
Yes and yes! Anxiety and depression can have symptoms very similar to those of ADHD.
No, you can’t. Adhd is a developmental disorder, so you’re born with it.
I suppose a tbi or stroke or something could affect the frontal/prefrontal cortex and cause executive dysfunction, but it’s not something like depression or anxiety that can just pop up.
Yes, in fact people can develop ADD as an adult. You already came up with an example of how it can happen.
No, you can’t baring brain damage.
Adhd is a developmental disorder. This means that our brains didn’t develop properly and our frontal/prefrontal cortex doesn’t work as it should. Our brains are physically different than people without adhd.
You might get diagnosed as an adult, but it’s something you’re born with. Like autism, adhd isn’t something that you can just come down with a case of like depression or anxiety.
So no adult ever gets brain damaged? Or are you agreeing that humans can develop ADD as adult?
This is incorrect. Due to a number of reasons, including but not limited to: traumatic brain injuries, extreme compounding anxiety and/or depression, or PTSD could all cause symptoms that align perfectly with ADHD. even if those initial problems could be fixed, the brain works in such a way that the behavior that aligns with ADHD may not be so easily fixed once an individual has done it for so long.
Edit: this is just unprofessional opinion. Go see a doctor if things are interrupting your daily life.
That doesn’t make it adhd. For example, you can have obsessive or compulsive tendencies without having OCD.
Plus, the symptoms of adhd are things that everyone experiences, which is why this sub is so relatable to so many people.
🤷♂️we’re debating on something that isn’t fully understood by anyone completely, which is the brain. Official research is inconclusive due to lack of enough research. Inconclusivity doesn’t equal exclusivity.
But I digress, this person should see a medical professional so they can get professionally evaluated and find a treatment that works for them.
Anyone relying on internet comments with no evidence of a medical degree is just asking to misdiagnose themselves and have a bad time.
Absolutely! You should go get checked if you have the means to.
Edit to add: this is my unprofessional opinion based on my experiences with many people who are treated with ADHD.
If you have suspicions, you should see a doctor.
