Adult attention deficit disorder is a mental disorder in which the attention function is significantly impaired. As we all know, maintaining good attention is the basic guarantee for successful completion of work and study tasks. If the patient suffers from adult attention deficit disorder, the patient’s work status is impaired, manifested as absent-mindedness, sloppiness, and reduced work ability, which is not consistent with the patient’s own intelligence and education level. It is easy for bystanders to analyze the problem in terms of thoughts and attitudes and to criticize the patient. Patients with adult attention deficit disorder are generally unaware that their condition is a medical problem and do not seek medical help. There is too little publicity about adult attention deficit disorder, a common mental illness, and many psychiatrists are unaware to this disorder. The clinical manifestations of adult attention deficit disorder are as follows: 1. often fail to pay close attention to homework, work, or other activities, or make careless mistakes during these activities; 2. often have difficulty maintaining attention during tasks or games; 3. often appear not to be listening when others speak to them; 4. often fail to follow instructions to the point of being unable to complete chores and duties; 5. often have difficulty organizing tasks and activities; 6. 6. frequently avoids and resents tasks that require sustained mental effort; 7. frequently loses items needed for tasks or activities; 8. often easily distracted by external stimuli; 9. frequently forgets things in the course of daily activities. The criteria for the diagnosis of adult attention deficit disorder are that the person has 5 or more of the above symptoms, and that these symptoms are present in 2 or more places at home, at school or work, or in interactions with friends and relatives, for six months. If the diagnosis is adult attention deficit disorder, then these symptoms cannot be present only in schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders, nor can they be explained by other mental disorders. Adult attention deficit disorder is a very common psychiatric disorder, and according to the American Psychiatric Association, the prevalence of this disorder is as high as 2.5%, that is, 1 in 40 adults. In China, there are 800 million workers, and according to this prevalence rate, there may be 20 million adults with attention deficit disorder. However, we see not so many patients, this common disease is not common for the following reasons: 1, the patient is difficult to self-discovery: the performance of this disease is special, the patient will hardly notice their own problems, here you can use a sentence similar to a tongue twister to illustrate: people with attention deficit disorder are not aware of their attention deficit; 2, medical publicity and education is not enough: due to insufficient medical publicity, medical normative training also did not include this disease, so that many psychiatrists do not notice this disease, and will not make the appropriate diagnosis; 3, the drug treatment of this disease is also problematic: the current international consensus that the drug of choice for the treatment of this disease is tomoxetine, however, in China, the instructions for this drug only children’s indications, the use of adults with tomoxetine is over the range of use, medical insurance Not reimbursed; 4, the popularization of science is not enough: medical publicity is not enough, the popularization of science is not enough, the people almost do not know the adult attention deficit disorder mental illness. In fact, when it comes to attention deficit disorder, probably quite a few people know, such as attention deficit disorder in children, of course, almost everyone knows a type of attention deficit disorder in children: hyperactivity disorder. 5. The classification of mental disorders packages adult attention deficit disorder together with childhood attention deficit disorder in the category of neurodevelopmental disorders, making it easy for physicians to overlook the problem. Recent medical research has shown that childhood attention deficit disorder is not the same as adult attention deficit disorder, that most people with childhood attention deficit disorder do not grow up to become adults with attention deficit disorder, and that most people with adult attention deficit disorder did not develop childhood attention deficit disorder during their childhood. In children with ADHD, the condition is easily detected by parental supervision and attention, and by knowledge of ADHD. Unlike adults with ADHD, who do not need or have a guardian, it is difficult for them to detect the disorder on their own, and knowledge of ADHD is not widespread and people around them are not aware of the disorder. Disseminating and spreading the knowledge of adult attention deficit disorder disease is very meaningful to help the huge group of adult attention deficit disorder patients. Nowadays, the analysis of the causes of low work efficiency is mainly two situations, either the lack of ability or the lack of effort. In fact, adult attention deficit disorder is another very common cause, and many patients are not aware of this cause, they just feel they are not in their element or have poor memory. I often see this in my work, when the patient is diagnosed with adult attention deficit disorder, both the patient and the parents are very excited. Some parents even get so excited that they cry, “I told you, our child has a problem, it’s not that he’s not trying!” It is a very urgent task to promote the knowledge of adult attention deficit disorder among the population so that patients can receive timely treatment.
