Common Struggles for Those With ADHD

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder often diagnosed in childhood, and often persisting into adulthood. In some cases, people may be diagnosed as adults if it wasn’t identified in childhood. While ADHD isn’t curable, it’s definitely manageable.

People with ADHD often struggle with:

Difficulty focusing and concentrating
Problems with organization
Persistent feelings of restlessness
Problems staying on task and completing tasks
Trouble remembering details or paying attention to directions

These symptoms can range in severity.

A person with ADHD may fall into three subtypes:

1.

Predominantly inattentive (previously referred to as “ADD”)

2.

Predominantly hyperactive/impulsive

3.

Combination of the first two

Some of the clinical modalities and treatments we may recommend to clients with ADHD can include the following:

Treating ADHD and Depression, and Related Challenges

For many people with ADHD, the first line of treatment is medication. However, in some cases, medication may not be desirable. For example, it may be unsuitable for a particular person with a certain medical history, or the person may discover that the medication causes unpleasant side effects for them. In some cases, parents may simply decide that they would prefer not to place their child on medications if at all possible.

Regardless of whether a person is or isn’t taking medications, therapy can help. Our mental health counselors are trained to empower our clients with the tools and mental resources they need to manage symptoms like inattentiveness, impulsiveness, and distractibility. Furthermore, many of our therapists have particular expertise and experience working with neurodivergent clients.

With the help of our talented and compassionate counselors, you or your child can learn to:

Furthermore, many people with ADHD don’t only struggle with the ADHD symptoms themselves; they also face the challenge of related issues. For example, a person might suffer from low self-esteem, anxiety, or depression because of their ADHD differences. Our mental health counselors look forward to helping you or your child work through these issues, learn effective coping techniques, and embrace your whole self-identity so that you can truly thrive.
