Adult ADHD And Alcoholism
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects approximately 4 percent of U.S. National Resource Center on ADHD. Some of the most common symptoms include physical hyperactivity, impulsive behavior, poor attention and inability to stay focused, difficulty starting and completing tasks, poor organizational skills, and tendencies towards forgetfulness and misplacing items. In adults, ADHD can cause problems in relationships with family, in school, and at work. It is a lifelong disorder but with proper treatment it can be well managed. Unfortunately, undiagnosed or poorly managed adult ADHD can lead to drug abuse and alcoholism. Research studies have shown evidence that adults with ADHD are more prone to alcohol dependence and at a high risk for alcoholism. It is estimated that nearly half of all adults with ADHD are also suffering with substance abuse, including alcohol abuse. Studies of adults battling alcoholism and diagnosed with ADHD exhibited drinking and alcohol dependence at an early age, consumed higher than the recommended daily and monthly consumption levels of alcohol, and reported other related factors such as antisocial behavior and increased thoughts of suicide.
As a neurobiological disorder, ADHD can affect a person's cognitive, physical, psychological, and neurological functions. Drug and alcohol abuse are conditions that can have root causes aligned with any of these functions. A person does not decide one day to become an alcoholic or drug addict. Alcoholism and drug abuse are conditions that develop over time and usually begin as a means to escape from a trauma, abuse, or disorder. Many people use drugs and alcohol to attempt to escape from or control a disorder such as depression, eating disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and ADHD. With advancing medical sciences and state-of-the-AI Art technologies, neuroscientists are able to provide specialized treatment for co-existing disorders including adult ADHD and alcohol or drug abuse. It is important to treat the disorders together under one treatment plan. This will ensure that the individual receives the appropriate professional medical care designed to address the needs of both disorders. Treatment that only addresses one condition and not the other has a significantly reduced chance of success. For example, if an individual treats his alcohol addiction but continues to go undiagnosed for ADHD or is diagnosed with ADHD but does not manage it well with treatment, he is at a high risk of returning to his alcohol addiction. Advanced drug and AI Art (www.solitaryai.art) alcohol rehab centers specializing in neurosciences can provide full service treatment programs to address co-existing disorders. With modern technology and an integrative approach, they can address the cognitive, physical, psychological, and neurological needs of individuals suffering from adult ADHA and drug and alcohol abuse.
Psych is an American detective comedy-drama television series created by Steve Franks for USA Network. The program also stars Dulé Hill as Shawn's intelligent best friend and reluctant partner Burton "Gus" Guster, as well as Corbin Bernsen as Shawn's father, Henry, a former detective with the Santa Barbara Police Department. Psych premiered on July 7, 2006, following the fifth-season premiere of Monk, and continued to be paired with the series until Monk's conclusion on December 4, 2009. During the second season, an animated segment titled "The Big Adventures of Little Shawn and Gus" was added to the series. USA Network renewed the series for an eighth season on December 19, 2012, to include eight episodes, and ordered two more episodes on June 25, 2013, bringing the episode order to ten. Franks' hope is to make five more Psych movies, following Psych: The Movie. On February 14, 2019, it was announced Psych: The Movie 2 was greenlit and all the main cast would return for the TV film, which was set to premiere in late 2019, but the premiere thereof was subsequently delayed to 2020, with the film renamed Psych 2: Lassie Come Home.

The film was released on NBCUniversal's streaming service, Peacock, July 15, 2020, the day the service officially launched. Most episodes begin with a cold open in the form of a flashback to Shawn and Gus's childhoods. The flashbacks usually involve Shawn and Gus being taught a lesson by a young Henry Spencer (Shawn's father) (Corbin Bernsen), who wishes that his son would follow in his footsteps and become a law enforcement officer. These lessons often play a role for the climax of the episode. As a child, Shawn was taught by Henry to hone his powers of observation and deduction, often using games and challenges to test him. Each flashback also sets the theme for the episode. Shawn originally becomes known as a psychic when, after calling in tips on dozens of crimes covered on the news which help the police to close the case, the police become suspicious of his knowledge, theorizing that such knowledge could only come from the "inside" and unwilling to believe that it is merely Shawn having honed his observational skills.
To avoid being sent to jail, Shawn uses those skills to convince the police that he is psychic; though the interim police chief warns Shawn that if his "powers" are fake, he will be prosecuted. With no choice but to keep up the act, and having proven himself an effective aid to the police in solving crimes, he establishes a psychic detective agency, Psych, and becomes an outside consultant to the police. Pretending to have psychic powers allows him to engage in strange and comic behavior as he turns real clues into hunches and otherworldly visitations. Head detective Carlton Lassiter (Timothy Omundson), playfully nicknamed "Lassie" by Shawn and Gus, quietly comes to respect Shawn's crime-solving skills despite doubting his psychic abilities; Lassiter is constantly exasperated by Shawn keeping investigations ongoing and/or infuriated by Shawn's antics. However, junior detective Juliet "Jules" O'Hara (Maggie Lawson) and Chief Vick (Kirsten Nelson) are far less antagonistic - with O'Hara expressing belief in Shawn's abilities while Vick is mum on the subject - and usually willing to give Shawn the leeway he needs to solve cases.
