Only a health professional has the tools to provide you with an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. This is why it's highly advisable to seek their help.
According to child psychologist Jennifer Weber some signs you may be dealing with more than just laziness or procrastination include:
Significant change: For example, a once energetic and driven person now finds it challenging to perform the simplest tasks.
Unmet responsibilities: An important sign is when someone has difficulty caring for themselves or their kids, keeping their job, and performing daily tasks, such as maintaining their home.
Weber is the director of behavioral health for PM Pediatrics Behavioral Health, a teletherapy and consultation program in New Hyde Park, New York.
