A 22-year-old college student is finding it difficult to keep up with his studies. He often procrastinates and leaves assignments to the last minute. He finds it hard to concentrate on lectures and reading materials. He also reports feeling restless most of the time. What could be the reason for these problems?
This student's difficulties with procrastination, concentration, and restlessness could suggest Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Many individuals with ADHD struggle with executive functions such as planning, organization, and time management. A comprehensive evaluation including an interview to understand the history and impact of these symptoms should be conducted to confirm the diagnosis.
