As another new year begins, don’t let ADD/ADHD interfere with personal success. Studies from the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry show adults with ADD/ADHD have significantly less educational and occupational achievements than their peers, relative to anticipated accomplishments based on intellect.
This lack of scholastic and professional success in the group of participants studied found that those with ADD/ADHD attained less schooling, regardless of IQ levels-- likely correlated with learning, mental focus, and attention span problems that affected academic performance-- thus limiting advancement in higher education studies.
These problems also likely manifested into adult ADD/ADHD symptoms that hindered career success, including difficulty following directions, remembering information, organizing tasks, or completing work within time limits. It is also likely that many of the behavioral, social, and emotional effects also carried into adulthood, further attributing to vocational deficiencies.
However, the bottom line of the study is that the symptoms of ADD/ADHD are holding some adults back from achieving their true professional potential... not intellectual ability. Therefore, recognizing these concentration difficulties and addressing them can help overcome these obstacles.
There are many herbal and homeopathic remedies which can help maintain mental focus, attention span, and concentration without side effects or sedation. These remedies are known for their supportive function in maintaining brain, nervous system and circulatory health, as well as mood and overall well-being. Making simple changes in diet, sleep, exercise, and routine can also help. Even trying more involved approaches like incorporating relaxation therapies such as guided imagery, meditation techniques, or yoga can be beneficial.
