What Is ADD/ADHD?
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), also known as ADHD, predominantly inattentive type, is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, distractibility, and difficulty sustaining focus, which can interfere with daily functioning, academic performance, and relationships. While some degree of distractibility is normal, chronic inattentiveness that impacts quality of life may indicate ADD.
There is effective treatment available for ADD.
We consider your unique needs, values, and personal choices to create an effective treatment plan. ADD treatment may include…
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy, particularly behavioral therapy and coaching, can help individuals develop organizational skills, improve time management, and address any co-occurring emotional or behavioral issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can also assist in managing impulsivity and developing coping strategies to improve focus and task completion.
Medication
Pharmacological treatment often involves stimulant medications such as methylphenidate or amphetamines, which help increase attention and reduce impulsivity. Non-stimulant medications like atomoxetine may also be prescribed. These medications work by regulating neurotransmitters involved in attention and executive functioning in the brain.
Psychoeducation
Psychoeducation is essential in helping individuals and families understand ADD, its symptoms, causes, and treatment options. It provides information about how ADD affects brain function, behavior, and daily life, and emphasizes the importance of lifestyle factors such as sleep, diet, exercise, and organizational strategies. By gaining insight and practical skills, individuals can actively participate in managing their symptoms and improving their overall functioning.
