ADHD and the Elderly
For the past 5 years Dave and I have lived in a Senior Citizens Home which I mischievously nicknamed The Home for the Bewildered. Our residents are aged between 50 and 93 and are at different stages in their ageing journeys.
Having ADHD and having worked with ADHD families and individuals for years, we understand and recognise the parallels in the bewilderment and other ADHD traits that the Elderly exhibit.

ADHD and Medication
How does anyone who has - or is living alongside ADHD treat this most common neurological condition? The simplest answer is therapy with medication or without medication. But under each of these two top-tier methods are a whole series of what we might call niche treatments.
But first, let’s understand what we mean by treatment or therapy. ADHD is a complex condition. It exists on a continuum from those almost fast-asleep to the continuously hyperactive. The one common factor is that our brains are always hyperactive, usually at full speed - or close to that limit!
I have a short little video below to show you the difference of neurotransmitter behaviour in our brains compared to the other 80% of the world´s population who don’t have our condition.
