A 26-year-old man has been experiencing persistent restlessness, impulsivity, and difficulty concentrating both in his professional and personal life. He also mentions a history of similar problems during childhood. What could be the potential causes?
The man's ongoing problems with restlessness, impulsivity, and difficulty concentrating, especially with a similar history during his childhood, suggest Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). To further evaluate, a comprehensive adult ADHD assessment including an interview to explore current and past symptoms, and possibly questionnaires to assess the impact of these symptoms on different areas of his life, should be undertaken.
