ADHD treatment/ ADHD management
Welcome to Bloom Well Health Medical Center
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are neurodevelopmental conditions that affect focus, impulse control, and executive functioning. While ADHD includes symptoms of hyperactivity and impulsivity, ADD (an outdated term) generally refers to inattentive-type ADHD without hyperactivity. Attention deficit disorder symptoms in adults may include difficulty concentrating, forgetfulness, impulsivity, restlessness, and trouble completing tasks.
ADHD Treatment/ ADHD management and Therapy Options:
1. Medication: Stimulants like methylphenidate (Ritalin) and amphetamines (Adderall) are the most common treatments. Non-stimulant options like atomoxetine (Strattera) and guanfacine can also be effective.
2. Behavioral Therapy: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps individuals develop organizational skills, improve impulse control, and manage distractions.
3. Lifestyle Modifications: Regular exercise, a structured routine, adequate sleep, and a balanced diet can support focus and emotional regulation.
4. Coaching and Skills Training: ADHD coaching and executive functioning skills training can help with time management, goal-setting, and productivity.
5. Alternative and Holistic Approaches: Mindfulness, neurofeedback, dietary adjustments (e.g., reducing processed sugars), and certain supplements (like omega-3 fatty acids) may provide additional benefits.
A combination of medication, therapy, and lifestyle strategies is often the most effective approach for managing ADHD.
