Attention-Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder
ADHD
What Is Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/ADHD)?
At Genesis TMS, we understand that attention deficit disorder—now referred to as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)—is not a behavior problem. It is a neurodevelopmental condition rooted in how the brain is wired and functions. Marked by persistent challenges with attention, impulsivity, and, in many cases, hyperactivity, ADHD can disrupt learning, social development, emotional regulation, and daily life. Despite its prevalence, ADHD remains one of the most misunderstood and mistreated conditions today. Children and adults alike are often labeled, overlooked, or placed on a one-size-fits-all treatment plan that fails to address the real problem: how their brain is functioning.
Core Symptoms of ADHD
- Short attention span for non-preferred tasks (e.g., homework, chores)
- Distractibility and frequent daydreaming
- Impulsivity (blurting out, acting without thinking)
- Difficulty with follow-through and task completion
- Disorganization and forgetfulness
- Emotional reactivity or mood swings
- Restlessness and difficulty staying seated or focused

Impact of ADHD on
Different Areas of Life
Education
Approximately 32.2% of students with combined-type ADHD fail to graduate high school on time, compared to 15% of students without psychiatric disorders.
Mental Health Risks
ADHD is linked to an increased risk of depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders.
Relationship
ADHD symptoms such as impulsivity and inattentiveness can cause misunderstandings and conflicts in personal relationships, including with family and romantic partners.
Risk for Addiction or Self-Harm
Adolescents with ADHD are at higher risk for self-harm and suicidal thoughts or attempts.
Employment Opportunities
Individuals with ADHD face higher unemployment rates and job performance challenges. Young adults with ADHD are more likely to be in jobs that do not require post-secondary education compared to peers without ADHD.
Long-Term Risks of Untreated ADHD
- Depression and anxiety
- Poor self-esteem and job failure
- Substance use and addiction
- Car accidents and legal trouble
- School dropout and incarceration
- Marital strain and divorce
- Financial instability
- Risk of suicide
Long-Term Risks of Untreated ADHD
Core Symptoms of ADHD
- According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), between 2020–2022, 11.3% of U.S. children aged 5–17 years had been diagnosed with ADHD.
- This reflects an increase from previous estimates; in 2016, 9.4% of children aged 2–17 years had been diagnosed with ADHD.
Co-occurring Conditions in Children with ADHD
- Almost half of the children with ADHD had a behavior or conduct problem.
- About 4 in 10 children with ADHD had anxiety.
- Other conditions affecting children with ADHD include depression, autism spectrum disorder, and Tourette syndrome.
Core Symptoms of ADHD
- The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) reports that 4.4% of adults have ADHD.
- ADHD is more common in males (5.4%) compared to females (3.2%).
- Despite these figures, many adults with ADHD remain undiagnosed and untreated. Women, in particular, may be misdiagnosed with stress, anxiety, or disorganization due to differences in symptom presentation.
