Mental Health Nurse Consultant Maria Mazfari emphasizes the importance of early recognition and intervention for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adults.
She advocates for a holistic, patient-centered approach to improve care for neurodivergent individuals.
Recent data indicates nearly 2.5 million people in England have ADHD, yet only about a third have received a diagnosis.
Mazfari has delivered extensive training to enhance understanding and support for adults with ADHD.
To support individuals with ADHD, Mazfari recommends regular physical exercise, a balanced diet, good sleep hygiene, and social support.
She also suggests environmental modifications, organizational tools, and therapeutic practices like cognitive-behavioral therapy.
These strategies aim to help manage challenges associated with ADHD, such as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.
Early intervention and support can significantly improve the quality of life for adults with ADHD.
