A 35-year-old woman describes ongoing issues with forgetting daily activities, losing things necessary for tasks, and being easily distracted by extraneous stimuli. She also has trouble following through on instructions and fails to finish her duties both at work and at home. What could be causing these problems?
These symptoms of forgetfulness, distractibility, and difficulty with follow-through could indicate Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Predominantly Inattentive Presentation. A thorough assessment, including a detailed history and possibly questionnaires or scales to assess the impact of these symptoms on her daily life, would be needed to confirm the diagnosis.
