As with most psychiatric conditions, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can present different symptoms with varying degrees of severity. For example, we all experience distractions from time to time. But when to associate it with ATH and what to do if attention tends to be too distracted, explains Confido psychiatrist Karl Pärn.

Our daily life is characterized by an abundance of information and external stimuli. We constantly receive emails, notifications and messages, and every question can be answered with just a few clicks. Both individualism and equal performance with others are favored at the same time, and this in every area of ​​life: work, study, family life. The load on the brain is high, so it is also natural that the brain knows how to signal us when it is tired.

How to distinguish whether the decrease in attention span is due to fatigue or whether the cause is ATH?

According to psychiatrist Dr. Karl Pärna of Confido, attention deficit disorder is a syndrome characterized by three main symptoms: inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. “ATH is essentially a neurodevelopmental feature of the brain. “From the development of the nervous system in fetal life, changes occur in the connections between certain nerve cells, the symptoms of which appear in early childhood,” says Dr. Pärn.
