ADHD — An Overview
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects many adults, teens, and children. ADHD is unfortunately widely misunderstood. Many people downplay the seriousness of its symptoms or life effects, and some people may even believe the condition does not exist. Yet, ADHD is very real and can have significant effects on our personal, interpersonal, and occupational lives.
​
While ADHD brings enough challenges by itself, it is most common for people with ADHD to have one or more other mental health issues as well. Most commonly these include anxiety, depression, and anger, but other issues such as OCD, Tourette’s syndrome, and learning disabilities also frequently co-occur with ADHD. There are different sub-types of ADHD and individuals' experiences with ADHD can vary widely.
Why is Everyone's Experience with ADHD Different?
ADHD exists on a spectrum. Some people might experience primarily inattentive symptoms, often called ADHD-PI (Primarily Inattentive), while others might struggle more with hyperactivity or impulsivity, known as ADHD-HI (Hyperactive-Impulsive). Men with ADHD might display more hyperactive and impulsive behaviours, while women with ADHD might struggle more with inattention and organization. It can also co-occur with other conditions like anxiety or depression.
​
This is why a one-size-fits-all approach just doesn't work for ADHD. At Radcliffe Psychotherapy Clinic, we take a personalized approach to treatment. We'll work with you to understand your unique experience with ADHD, whether it's impacting your work, relationships, or overall well-being. We can discuss treatment options if ADHD medication isn’t working for you. We provide various therapies for ADHD counselling in Toronto, depending on your individual needs.
How To Manage Life With ADHD
There is no one-size-fits-all solution to manage life in the context of ADHD. Medication is appropriate in many cases but individuals with ADHD still need to have a good understanding of how their unique brains and ADHD traits impact their lives and relationships.
ADHD awareness, skills training and ADHD-Informed Therapy can pave the way and provide individuals with specific ways to manage their time, stay organized and on task, and cope with difficult emotions, as well as other typical ADHD challenges.
