“ADHD is less an illness, but rather a type of nature”
ADHD is often associated with hyperactivity and chaos. The disorder not only has negative pages, says psychiatrist Andreas Jähne.
This interview comes from the Stern Archive and first appeared in February 2023.
ADHD Almost everyone is a term these days, but only very few really know what it is all about. How can you imagine the whole thing?
There are two subtypes of the disease: ADS and ADHD. This means that the known hyperactivity is not available in some patients. Ads patients then suffer from impulsiveness or permanent attention. These are often people who are very fantasy. From the outside, this does not stand out like the active boy who only makes nonsense all the time.
You speak of guys …
I consciously say young because the dreamy subtype occurs more often in girls. Girls with ads are often wise and can therefore compensate for some deficits. They usually get along well at school. Sometimes they are even underwhelmed due to their quick grasp. However, because they cause few problems, they don’t get the funding that the hyperactive boy, for example, who immediately stands out.
Then they are the Womenthat are only diagnosed as adults?
Exactly. Those affected often only notice in the course of their lives that their biography is somehow fragile, for example there were always changing partners or professions.
