These symptoms can be subtle, making diagnosis sometimes complex. <!\u2013- [et_pb_br_holder] -\u2013><!\u2013- [et_pb_br_holder] -\u2013>It is also common for individuals with ADHD to have trouble following conversations or remembering important details. They may seem uninterested or disconnected, even when engaged in a discussion. These behaviors can be misinterpreted by others as a lack of interest or respect, which can exacerbate the feeling of isolation for the individual concerned.<!\u2013- [et_pb_br_holder] -\u2013><!\u2013- [et_pb_br_holder] -\u2013><\/section>\n<section class=\"dynseo-section\">\n<h2 id=\"section-2\"> Associated risk factors<\/h2>\n<p><!\u2013- [et_pb_br_holder] -\u2013>Several risk factors can contribute to the development of attention deficit disorders without hyperactivity. Studies have shown that genetics plays an important role, as ADHD tends to manifest in certain families.

This distinction is essential for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. <!\u2013- [et_pb_br_holder] -\u2013><!\u2013- [et_pb_br_holder] -\u2013>Individuals with ADHD may be perceived as more &#8220;visible&#8221; due to their fidgety behavior, while those with ADD may go unnoticed due to their more discreet nature. This can lead to a lack of recognition and support for those suffering from ADD, as their difficulties may be less obvious to others.<!\u2013- [et_pb_br_holder] -\u2013><!\u2013- [et_pb_br_holder] -\u2013><\/section>\n<section class=\"dynseo-section\">\n<h2 id=\"section-5\"> Diagnostic criteria<\/h2>\n<p><!\u2013- [et_pb_br_holder] -\u2013>The diagnosis of ADHD without hyperactivity is based on several criteria established by mental health professionals. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), symptoms must be present for at least six months and must interfere with social, academic, or professional functioning. Additionally, these symptoms must be observed in multiple different contexts to confirm the diagnosis. <!\u2013- [et_pb_br_holder] -\u2013><!\u2013- [et_pb_br_holder] -\u2013>It is also crucial that the diagnosis is made by a qualified professional, such as a psychologist or psychiatrist. A comprehensive evaluation process may include clinical interviews, standardized questionnaires, and behavioral observations. As a community, we must encourage those who suspect they or their loved ones may have ADHD to seek professional evaluation.<!\u2013- [et_pb_br_holder] -\u2013><!\u2013- [et_pb_br_holder] -\u2013><\/section>\n<section class=\"dynseo-section\">\n<h2 id=\"section-6\"> Available treatments<\/h2>\n<p><!\u2013- [et_pb_br_holder] -\u2013>Treatment for ADHD without hyperactivity may include a combination of behavioral therapies, educational interventions, and, in some cases, medication. Behavioral therapies aim to help individuals develop strategies to better manage their attention and organization. This may include techniques such as visual planning, time management, and the use of technological tools. <!\u2013- [et_pb_br_holder] -\u2013><!\u2013- [et_pb_br_holder] -\u2013>Medications may also be prescribed to help regulate ADHD symptoms.
