ADD/ADHD Counseling

There are three primary characteristics of ADHD: Inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsivity; though all three aren’t always prominent.

Individuals with ADHD may:

• Have trouble staying focused or get easily distracted
• Appear not to be listening when spoken to
• Constantly fidgeting and squirming
• Talk excessively
• Act without thinking
• Interrupt often, or say the wrong thing at the wrong time
• Have a quick temper or “short fuse”

Whether or not your symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity are due to ADHD, they can cause problems if left untreated. Individuals who can’t focus or control themselves or get into difficult situations often find it hard to make friends. These frustrations can later lead to low self-esteem as well as friction for the whole family.

Treatment can make a dramatic difference in your symptoms. With the right support, you can get on track for success in all areas of life.
