Transitioning from high school to college often reveals underlying Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms previously unnoticed due to significant increases in academic demands and stress.
Childhood trauma can complicate the diagnosis of ADHD in college students, as it can amplify symptoms and create overlap with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Research indicates that while trauma doesn’t cause ADHD, it contributes to more pronounced symptoms in students, complicating treatment and management strategies.
The relationship between childhood trauma and ADHD symptoms is complex; trauma-informed care and tailored ADHD strategies are essential for effective management in college settings.
