Q

What Is A DHD?

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is first diagnosed in childhood and often continues in adulthood. Children with ADHD may struggle with paying attention, controlling impulsive behavior, and maybe being overly hyper.

In adults, ADHD may be difficult to spot. The diagnosis usually includes different tests, including:

Physical exam
Psychological tests
Information gathering

A medical professional may need to perform a series of these tests to ensure a proper diagnosis. This is because there are other conditions that also resemble ADHD.

These conditions include mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, language deficits, and psychiatric disorders.

Other conditions that resemble ADHD include problems that affect behavior and thinking, such as:

Seizure disorder
Brain injury
Thyroid problems
Low blood sugar

Speaking with a medical professional can help to get a proper diagnosis of ADHD.

Signs and Symptoms of ADHD

ADHD has three different types: Inattentive, Hyperactive-Impulsive Presentation, and Combined.

When the person is predominantly inattentive, he may have trouble organizing or finishing a task, follow instructions or easily gets distracted and forget things.

A predominantly hyperactive-impulsive person with ADHD talks and fidgets a lot. He may struggle sitting still for long periods. Children with this type of disorder may jump, climb or run constantly. Other individuals may interrupt others a lot or speak at inappropriate times.

A combined presentation is when an individual exhibits symptoms of both types described above.

A child with ADHD may have these symptoms:

Squirms or fidgets a lot
Talks too much
Daydreams all the time
Struggles with resisting temptation
May not get along with others well
Loses things a lot

Adult ADHD may have these symptoms:

Impulsiveness
Trouble multitasking
Poor planning ad time management skills
Disorganized
Easily gets frustrated
Has trouble prioritizing important things

No lab tests can diagnose ADHD. The diagnosis usually involves a combination of tests. A medical professional will gather information from parents and teachers to rule out other medical problems.

ADHD Treatment

The standard treatment for ADHD involves psychological counseling, medication, skills training and education. It’s believed that the most effective treatment is usually a combination of these.

While these treatments are the most common, individuals might not see the results they are looking for with those treatments. Fortunately, TMS Therapy is also a good alternative for treating ADHD.

Prescription Medication

Medications for the treatment of ADHD vary in each individual.

A medical professional may prescribe some stimulants such as methylphenidate or amphetamine as it can help boost and balance the neurotransmitters in your brain.

Other medications may include antidepressants such as bupropion. They may be a good option, especially when you can’t take stimulants because of other health problems.

Individuals might also experience side effects from prescription medication. Side-effects might include:

Problems sleeping
Loss of appetite
Delayed growth
Headaches and stomachaches
Tics
Moodiness and irritability

Some doctors may recommend therapy first for children younger than six years of age before trying medications for treating ADHD.

Talk Therapy

For adults with ADHD, psychological counseling or psychotherapy may help them learn about the disorder and provide them with the skills needed to succeed.

With psychotherapy, it may help them:

Learn to minimize their impulsive behavior
Cope with work or social issues
Develop strategies for controlling their temper
Improves self-esteem
Improve time management skills

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) will teach the person with ADHD specific skills to help them effectively manage their behavior and negative thinking patterns. In addition, it can help them better cope with life’s challenges, such as school and relationship issues.

In most cases, a combination of treatments may benefit the patient. However, what works best may also depend on the child or the adult. A good treatment would also involve close monitoring, follow-ups or check-ups.
