ADHD — An Overview
Can you notice the signs of ADHD?
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that can affect adults, teens, and children. While some people downplay its symptoms and impact, it can significantly affect all aspects of life including academic performance, work productivity, and interpersonal relationships. ADHD exists on a spectrum, with some people struggling primarily with inattention and disorganization while others deal more with hyperactivity or impulsivity.
While ADHD presents enough challenges on its own, mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and anger, frequently accompany an ADHD diagnosis. It is also common for people with ADHD to have additional diagnoses such as OCD, Tourette’s Syndrome, and learning disabilities. This can add to the complexity and overwhelm a client may face. Our trained Toronto therapists take all of these factors into consideration when finding an approach that works for you.

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.
