ADHD Across the Lifespan: Finding Focus, Support, and Balance
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental conditions, yet it is often misunderstood. It doesn’t just affect children — ADHD can continue into adolescence and adulthood, impacting focus, organization, relationships, and self-esteem.
At Nurtured Balance Wellness, we believe ADHD is not a flaw in character — it’s a difference in how the brain processes and responds to the world. With the right support, individuals with ADHD can learn to manage symptoms, build on strengths, and restore balance in daily life.
What is ADHD?
ADHD is a condition that affects attention, impulse control, and activity level. It presents differently in each person and often falls into three main types:
Inattentive type: Trouble sustaining focus, being easily distracted, or forgetting tasks.
Hyperactive-impulsive type: Restlessness, difficulty sitting still, or acting before thinking.
Combined type: A mix of both inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms.
While ADHD is often first identified in childhood, many teens and adults struggle for years before receiving a diagnosis. Recognizing symptoms early can make treatment more effective and life more manageable.
Signs and Symptoms
Symptoms can vary by age and gender. Common signs include:
Children/Teens: Daydreaming, fidgeting, trouble following directions, difficulty staying organized.
Adults: Difficulty meeting deadlines, poor time management, restlessness, forgetfulness, or challenges balancing work and family.
Many individuals also experience co-occurring conditions like anxiety, depression, or sleep problems. At Nurtured Balance Wellness, we look at the whole picture, not just the label.
Why Treatment Matters
Untreated ADHD can affect school, work, relationships, and self-esteem. But with effective treatment, individuals often experience improved focus, reduced stress, and greater confidence in daily life.
