The precise origin of ADHD is still unknown and poorly understood, despite increased studies on the disorder in recent years due to growing awareness and diagnosis in both adults and children. ADHD runs in the family. If you have parents or siblings with the disorder, you are more likely to develop ADHD yourself. If you feel that you have been struggling to cope with your particular ADHD traits you should seek help with my affordable ADHD counselling in Hertfordshire.
Since ADHD is on a scale of mild, moderate to severe, its manifestation can shift and vary depending on your personality type, the time of day, the environment, and life events.
Over two-thirds of people with ADHD may also suffer from a co-occurring disorder. It is more common for someone with ADHD to simultaneously have another neurodivergent illness; for instance, clinical studies have suggested that dyslexia may affect 1 in 2 ADHD sufferers.
Medication for ADHD comes in a variety of forms that are intended to control brain imbalances and alleviate symptoms. Studies have indicated that more than 80% of patients find success and efficacy with ADHD medication. To make sure the person is taking the proper type of medication and dosage for the optimum result, it should be titrated and evaluated frequently.
ADHD patients often arrive at sessions with elevated anxiety, depressed mood, and self-loathing; they often carry guilt about seeming obnoxious in their interpersonal interactions and embarrassment about not being able to behave “like an adult.” Feeling alienated, out of place, overwhelmed by life, and like a complete failure.
My affordable ADHD counselling in Hertfordshire includes phases of inquiry, comprehension, acceptance, and decision-making. Once an individual has received a formal diagnosis. This is when the road to recovering who you truly are begins. Identifying your particular traits and how you can manage your lifestyle that works better for you that includes educating and communicating to those people that are closest to you. Such as family members, friends and people in the workplace. If you haven’t been able to receive a formal diagnosis as yet, I can still help you to identify your particular traits that pose problems in your day-to-day life that can alleviate symptoms of anxiety, low mood and low self-esteem.
