http://adhdinadults.com/ Learn about the effects of adult ADHD on individuals and society from Dr. Stephen Faraone, a Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at SUNY. He explains in this video how ADHD can impact patients’ personal and professional lives. Faraone is aware of the positive effects ADHD treatment and diagnosis can have on his patients. He hopes to educate healthcare professionals about the disorder, especially primary care physicians who treat adults.
Faraone believes that adult ADHD is not always considered a severe disorder. This is because primary care doctors and other professionals aren’t trained to recognize it. The impact ADHD can have upon an undiagnosed patient can be dramatic. This includes adverse outcomes such as comorbid conditions and social disorders. ADHD symptoms are often overlooked even when they are recognized as a diagnosis for other disorders.
As the video shows, studies have shown that adult ADHD can lead to workplace problems such as occupational failure and underperformance. Faraone also points out the effects of adult ADHD on the outside of the workplace. Patients with attention deficit disorder who are not treated are at greater risk of being involved in traffic accidents that could cause injury and may have trouble with their personal relationships. ADHD adults are at greater risk of conflict in their families and more likely to end up divorcing.
ADHD is a chronic disorder that causes impairments to accumulate over time, causing turmoil in the patient’s daily life. This video explores the economic consequences of ADHD in adulthood.
Faraone advocates for ADHD diagnosis and treatment in adults. Faraone concludes the video encouraging healthcare professionals to educate themselves about the disorder and the available treatments. The link above will take you to more information about The Adult ADHD Project. Our website with
