There is no question that ADD/ADHD is just as common in older adults and seniors as it is in children and teens. No matter what your age, targeted ADD treatment will enhance your quality of life—something that we believe everyone deserves.
When adult ADD is left untreated, it often leads to chronic stress, social isolation, anxiety, and depression. A life full of chronic stress will decrease brain function over time, and according to the Alzheimer’s Society, around 60% of people with mild cognitive impairment will go on to develop Alzheimer’s disease.
10 Signs of Adult ADD:
1. Poor sustained attention span for reading, paperwork, etc.
2. High susceptibility to boredom by tedious material
3. Frequent lateness for appointments/work
4. A tendency to misplace things frequently
5. Poor organization and planning
6. Procrastination until deadlines are imminent
7. Restlessness, trouble staying in a confined space (not a phobia)
8. Impulsive decision-making, frequent job changes
9. Failure to listen carefully to directions
10. Poor performance at work, despite abilities
Larry’s Struggle with ADD
We’d like to share Larry’s story about ADD with you. Larry, 62, was experiencing a great deal of marital conflict and was on the brink of divorce. His wife complained that he never talked to her, was unreliable, never finished projects that he started, and that he was very negative. He tended to be moody, tired, and disinterested in sex.
As a child, Larry had mediocre to poor grades in school, and as an adult he went from job to job, complaining of boredom.
Larry was referred to us by his marital therapist, and rightly so: Larry’s brain SPECT scan showed decreased prefrontal cortex activity and increased activity in the deep limbic system of his brain. Larry had Limbic ADD, with problems that looked like a combination of ADD and mild, chronic depression.
Larry’s Treatment
Seeing his scan immediately took away the stigma and convinced him of the need for treatment. He took our recommendations and started on an intense aerobic exercise program, changed his diet, and began taking three brain-directed dietary supplements to support his overall brain health, his mood and his natural ability to focus. Larry noticed improvements within a month’s time and the couple progressed quickly in marital therapy. Last time we spoke with him, he told me that him and his wife were happier than when they first were married!

I live in Israel, so it would be difficult to get to an Amen Clinic.
Does any-one in Israel do anything similar to Amen Clinics?

In 2008 , at 59-year-old,I was diagnosed with ADHD. I tried at least 8 medications. Most had negative side effects. I developed facial dysconesitia (sp?) . The doctor was not sure if the med caused this. I decided to discontinue it. I have been trying to manage. At times I do well, but I disappoint myself Often. Of the symptoms listed, I have all but #s 1 & 10. Unsure what to do. Please advise. Thank you, Christee Coleman
