5 symptoms of ADD and ADHD in adults

According to a research, nearly 5 out of every 100 children are likely to suffer from Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and/or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and well over half of this percentage are likely to carry forward some of the symptoms of ADHD into adulthood as well. There are a large number of people with undiagnosed ADD or ADHD as children who also carry the condition into adulthood. Both ADD and ADHD are cognitive health conditions that respond well to early interventions. When left untreated, they are likely to cause a number of physical and mental problems.
Some of the signs and symptoms that indicate that an adult is likely to have ADD or ADHD are as follows:

  • Lack of focus
    An Adult with ADHD finds it difficult to pay attention to any task at hand. High levels of distraction, reduced listening comprehension, inability to carry out tasks completely or with precision are of the common symptoms of ADHD in adults.
  • Hyperfocus
    On the other end of the spectrum, some adults with ADHD may demonstrate excessive engrossment or even obsession with regard to specific activities. The level of engagement with specific tasks is so intense that they tend to lose awareness of spatial and temporal orientation.
  • Poor organizational skills
    Adults with ADHD tend to get very agitated when it comes to the performance of the simplest of tasks. They lack an ability to plan and organize tasks based on priority and hence, they have trouble in keeping things in their respective places or organizing their activities in a logical manner.
  • Emotional disturbance
    Adults with ADHD tend to experience widely disparate mood swings. They tend to get easily bored by routine and frustrated when things don’t go as they wish. Even small disappointments can weigh very heavily and cause irritability or even depressive phases.
  • Anxiety
    A very common symptom of adult ADHD that may also remain undiagnosed or merely attributed to a stressful work or life situation is anxiety and restlessness. People with signs of ADD or ADHD feel that their mind is constantly in motion and they experience a restlessness when unable to complete something immediately. They also tend to constantly replay things that worry them in the mind endlessly.

    Let us look at some of the common causes of chest pain:

    • Myocardial Infraction
      The medical name for heart attack, this is one of the common thoughts people arrive at when they experience chest pain. Heart attack is the reduction of blood flow through blood vessels in the heart that cause the death of heart muscle cells. It is a crushing pain that usually radiates in the center or the left side of the chest. The symptoms might include sweating, nausea, shortness of breath weakness that is accompanied by the pain.
    • Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
      It is a blockage in the blood vessels that reduces the blood flow and thus the oxygen to the heart muscle. This condition eventually leads to heart attack. Although, it does not cause a permanent damage to the heart, the person may feel chest pain radiating from the heart and spreading through the arms, shoulder, jaw, and even back pain. Also called as Angina, it is triggered by exercise, excitement, or emotional distress. It can however be relieved by rest.
    • Myocarditis
      It is one of the causes of chest pain that occurs due to heart muscle inflammation. Myocarditis causes fever, fatigue, increased heart rate, and trouble in breathing. It does not indicate any blockage, even though its symptoms resemble those of a heart attack.
    • Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
      It is a genetic disease that causes the heart muscle to grow thick abnormally. It leads to problems such as blood flow out of the heart. This type of chest pain causes shortness of breath. It occurs overtime due to over exercising. Since, the heart muscles become very thick, it makes the blood pump faster. The symptoms of cardiomyopathy include dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting.
    • Mitral valve prolapses
      It is a condition in which the heart valves fail to close completely. This is another one of the most common causes of chest pain. Some other symptoms like palpitations, dizziness is associated with this condition. A person might also not experience any of these symptoms if the prolapse is mild.

    If you are suffering from any of these symptoms, and if they are frequent, it is advisable to see a doctor who will diagnose the cause of chest pain and provide medications and treatments accordingly.

  • How safe is my money in a brokerage account

    One of the most commonly asked questions by customers in the field of trade. There are only two possible ways an investor may lose his money when he invests it in a brokerage account. One, if an event such as fraud or bankruptcy occurs at the brokerage firm, and two, through investment losses, which are subjected to market risks but is conveniently under your control, provided you have a discretionary basis account which requires client approval for any trade carried by the broker on behalf of his client.

    So other than investment losses, one place where customers fear and feel helpless about is the first mentioned scenario, i.e. in cases of bankruptcy or fraud. And in their defense, considering the recent financial crises in 2008, they have a good reason to be worried. Fortunately for the investors, one could say that an investor’s money in a brokerage account is probably much safer with multiple lines of protection than it is in a bank’s savings account.

    When a customer deposits his money in a bank, it is common knowledge that the money is never actually lying idle in a safety deposit box, and the bank has already probably loaned it to another customer. Such loans are a risk to any customer with money in his account. That is exactly why, in such cases of a financial crisis, banks are insured by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), which covers losses up to $250,000 per individual.

    But in the case of Brokerage accounts, money once deposited, the investor can be sure that his money is truly lying idle under the firm’s safety, thanks to the federal law that requires that the client’s brokerage account be segregated from the firm’s assets. But what in the case of bankruptcy or fraud? And this is where the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) comes in; the SIPC covers losses of up to $500,000 including of up to $250,000 for cash claims. So it is arguably safer to deposit your money in a brokerage account.
