Dr. Edward Hallowell, a Psyhiatrist specializing in Attention Deficit Disorder in Sudbury, Mass. has seen the fallout of multitasking walk into his office five days a week. The number of patients increased ten-fold in a ten year period with symptons closely resembling those of ADD but of a work-induced variety.
The symptons included: increased irritibility, decreased productivity, disorganization, making black/white decisions or shooting from the hip instead of taking the time to think through the decision adequately and all felt pressured to get things done quickly.
In contrast to his regular ADD patients, Dr. Hallowell noticed that these patients felt frantic only in certain situations, mainly in the workplace or for at home moms, while managing the home front.
Dr. Hollowell named this condition Attention Deficit Trait (ADT)
