Adult ADD/ADHD Counselling
ADHD, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that extends beyond childhood into adulthood for many individuals. Even those who were not diagnosed as children may find that symptoms become more pronounced as they grow older, leading to challenges in their professional and personal lives. The lack of awareness about their ADHD can leave adults feeling perplexed about their struggles in achieving their aspirations.
ADHD is characterized by:
- Disorganization and problems prioritizing
- Poor time management skills
- Problems focusing on a task
- Trouble multitasking
- Excessive activity or restlessness
- Poor planning
- Low frustration tolerance
- Frequent mood swings
- Problems following through and completing tasks
- Hot temper
- Trouble coping with stress
To effectively support individuals with ADHD, it is important to have a comprehensive understanding of the condition. Managing ADHD typically involves a combination of behavioural interventions and lifestyle changes. One useful approach is Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), which is tailored to address specific symptoms, improving coping strategies, and increase overall functioning in various areas of an individual's life. By acknowledging the complex nature of ADHD and implementing personalized strategies, individuals can increase their self-awareness, minimize the impact of symptoms, and improve their overall well-being.
