Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a developmental disorder, leading to behavioural problems.ADHD is usually detected in early childhood (around 3-7 years) but can go undetected. Symptoms are thought to improve over time, but this is not always the case. Attention Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD) is a subtype of ADHD.
ADHD comes with a unique set of challenges for everyday life, relationships, and success in work and education, for those who experience it.
An effective way to support ADHD symptoms is through diagnosis and treatment. Psychoeducation, Behavioural Therapy, or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and other talking therapies can help.
The aim of behavioural therapy is to enhance self-awareness and therefore learn new patterns of behaviour which will help with gaining order to day-to-day life with symptoms such as inability to concentrate, not making rash decisions.
Although there is no cure for ADHD and ADD, there are ways to work with difficulties. Adults are often offered medicine, although therapies can also be of benefit. For example, Psychoeducation, Behavioural Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Schema Therapy. These can teach individuals how to better manage symptoms and day to day challenges. Other more explorative forms of therapy may be useful for working through difficult feelings which are impacted by the condition and go on to affect it.
Often a combination of medicine and therapy is recommended, however it is important to learn about and carefully consider the implications of each for yourself. Other things that might help include reviewing diet and supplementation, something Phinity therapists can offer. We recommend weekly sessions, which last 50 minutes.
