Guelph Online ADHD Therapy

AD/HD, also known as attention deficit disorder, is a common chronic neurodevelopment disorder. The primary issues of AD/HD are rooted in the brain’s executive functions. The executive function is also known as the “management system of the brain.” The executive function allows individuals to accomplish day-to-day tasks in their routines. Individuals struggling with executive functions may experience the most common AD/HD symptoms, including persistent problems such as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsive behaviours. As a result, adults, adolescents, and children affected by AD/HD may have difficulty performing in work, personal and professional settings.

AD/HD usually starts before twelve years old. However, symptoms may be noticeable in some children as early as three years old. AD/HD can range from mild to severe and may continue into adulthood. Early treatments and diagnosis from licenced professionals can make a significant difference and assist with managing symptoms.

There are three common AD/HD disorders:

Inattentive and Distractable AD/HD

Individuals diagnosed with AD/HD struggle primarily with the inability to focus (distractability, inattention, and may include difficulty in remembering.) Individuals diagnosed with inattentive and distractible AD/HD typically do not show signs of hyperactivity. (such as fidgeting or being unable to stay in one’s seat.) Therefore, these individuals are considered high-functioning since symptoms are not visible to many.

Impulsive/Hyper-Active AD/HD

Impulsive/Hyper-Active AD/HD is characterized by an individual’s difficulty controlling impulsiveness and hyperactiveness. Some common primary symptoms are feelings of needing to be in motion and frequently interrupting others during conversations.

Combined Type

Combined type ADHD is the most common type. People with this type of ADHD exhibit inattentiveness/distractibility and impulsivity/hyperactivity symptoms.

When to Seek Treatment (But not limited to):

If you’re concerned that your child is showing early signs of ADHD. Early treatment with a consultation will help manage symptoms in the early stages.
If you are experiencing extreme restlessness. Difficult sitting still for extended periods in educational, professional or personal settings.
If you are having difficulty engaging in tasks that require close attention.
Being easily distracted by unrelated thoughts or stimuli.
Impulsively acting without thinking or struggling with self-control.
If you are struggling with excessive energy, moving or talking.

Depression is characterised as a mental health disorder that affects how an individual thinks, feels, and behaves and can lead to various physical and emotional problems if left untreated. When individuals struggle with depression disorder, some symptoms may be described as sadness, anger, or impending doom that interferes with a person’s everyday activities. Depression symptoms vary per person; symptoms can vary in severity. For example, feelings of low productivity and lost time may occur in professional or educational settings. In addition, severe depression symptoms may influence personal relationships, thoughts of death, suicide and self-harm, and chronic health symptoms may occur.
