ADHD & LTD Benefits
Attention deficit disorder (ADD) and Attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) are two of the most commonly diagnosed psychiatric conditions in children; yet for the 2 percent of the adult population that also lives with these disorders, information, resources, and support can be scarce. In fact, many adults struggle all their lives with undiagnosed ADHD impairments, making their regular daily activities, including full-time employment, mildly to enormously challenging.
Common symptoms of ADHD in adults
Below are some of the most common symptoms of ADHD in adults.
- Difficulty concentrating
- Trouble processing large amounts of information at once
- Difficulty listening and following instructions
- Tendency to procrastinate
- Forgetfulness
- Poor organizational skills
- Mental health disorders including depression and anxiety
In the workplace, these symptoms can inhibit an individual from completing the essential duties of their work. These symptoms may require them to be granted special modifications in order to succeed in completing their responsibilities. In severe cases, the disorder may be considered disabling if symptoms inhibit the individual from performing the essential duties of their job.
While more resources and tools are becoming available to adults with ADHD, there is still a lot of progress to be made on the part of employers to help create successful work environments for individuals with ADHD and for insurance companies to acknowledge the sometimes disabling nature of these disorders for those who are unable to continue working.
In this video, Lawyer and Assistant Managing Director Samantha Share explains that any medical condition with symptoms severe enough to stop you from successfully working could be eligible for long term disability benefits.
