The expert and consultant in special education, Osama Ahmed Madbouly, emphasized that the disorder of excessive activity and distraction “ADHD” is no longer exclusive to children as it was previously believed, but recent studies have proven that this disorder continues with a large percentage of the injured until adulthood, with a change in the manifestations of symptoms and their impact on the details of daily life, especially in work and family and social relations.
He explained that the hyperactivity of adults is a chronic developmental nervous disorder that affects the brain processing of information, and leads to difficulties in organizing attention, behavior and control of impulses, where researchers believe that the source of the problem is due to differences in brain chemistry and its structure, especially in the areas responsible for executive functions such as planning, self -regulation and control of emotions, these differences lead to a decrease in some nervous tankers such as Dopamine and Norpinverin, which is reflected in the ability of the individual to focus and motivate.
Madbouly said: “The manifestations of excessive movement activity in adults are manifested differently from children. Instead of the excessive movement, the disturbance turns into internal tension, mental dispersion, difficulty in organizing, and frequent forgetfulness, the injured suffer from difficulty in focusing on one task, and the ease of dispersion, whether in external stimuli or even internal ideas, as they face difficulties in organizing tasks or starting to implement them Activity, it often appears in an internal anxiety or inability to relax, and it may be reflected in the large number of speech or the boycott of others, and the impulsion is highlighted in making quick decisions without thinking about the consequences, or entering into unaccounted discussions or adventures, all of these symptoms directly affect professional performance, family stability, time management and money, and are reflected in the quality of life in general.
He continued that marital relations are greatly affected by the presence of one of the two parties with excessive movement activity, where the injured person finds it difficult to pay attention during the dialogue with the partner, which leads to misunderstanding and the repetition of differences, and internal tension may turn into nervousness or a large number Forgetting the occasions or family obligations, and the inability to manage the affairs of the home effectively, all of this creates a state of frustration with the other side, and leads to a feeling of unkrown or the absence of support, which threatens the stability of the marital relationship.
He noted that the diagnosis of excessive movement of adults is an accurate and complex process, as symptoms interfere with other cases such as anxiety or depression, there is no single test for the diagnosis, but it depends on a comprehensive evaluation that includes clinical interviews, review of medical and psychological history, the use of approved evaluation measures, and collecting information from multiple sources such as the family, partner or work colleagues, it is also important to exclude other cases that may cause symptoms Similar, such as mood disorders, anxiety, or sleep disorders, early and precise diagnosis opens the door to effective treatment options that can make a big difference in the lives of the injured.
As for therapeutic solutions, Madbouly said that although drug therapy may be necessary for some cases, non -drug solutions constitute the cornerstone in the comprehensive treatment plan, cognitive behavioral therapy is one of the most successful treatments, as it helps individuals to determine negative thinking patterns and ineffective behaviors and change them, with a focus on developing organizational and managing strategies and solving problems and dealing with impulsivity, and that training, and that training, and that training, as well On executive skills aims to develop the basic skills affected by the disorder, such as planning, identifying priorities, organizing tasks and controlling emotions, and behavioral therapy is highlighted as an effective option for adults who suffer from mood swings or difficulty in controlling emotions, as it focuses on developing the ability to withstand pressure without impulsive behavior and developing strategies to regulate feelings.
Psychological and social support plays a pivotal role in improving the quality of the lives of the injured, support groups provide a safe environment to exchange experiences and a sense of understanding and belonging, and reduces the feeling of isolation, and that family education and close people about the nature of the disorder contribute to increasing support and understanding, and reduces the social stigma or misunderstanding that the injured may be exposed to, and the role of a healthy lifestyle adjustment cannot be overlooked On a sufficient installment, a balanced diet, and regular physical activity, all factors that enhance focus and reduce stress and help empty excess energy, and allocating time for hobbies and loved activities enhances the feeling of control and satisfaction, and gives the injured opportunities to express his energies positively.

Ultimately, the hyperactivity of adults remains a complex challenge, but it is not an obstacle to a productive and wealthy life, a deep understanding of the disorder, commitment to psychological and behavioral therapy, and continuous social support, all of which are factors that open new horizons for the injured to achieve their full potential and live effectively and successfully.
