ADD and Treatment

ADD and treatment is typically associated with problems at home, school or at work. The psychiatric disorder can be difficult for doctors to diagnose and treat.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most commonly used term for this psychiatric disorder. Mental health professionals use the SPECT brain imaging method to determine ADHD.

Some of the symptoms are being easily distracted, forgetful and disorganized. Medications such as stimulants and antidepressants can ease the symptoms.

Limbic ADD

The most common form of ADD, also known as classic ADD or hyperactive-impulsive ADD, is characterized by inattention, a lack of organizational skills, difficulty staying on task, and trouble with memory. Brain scans show that those with this type of ADD have normal activity in the prefrontal cortex both at rest and during concentration, but less activity in the cerebellum and basal ganglia, which produce dopamine, which is a neurotransmitter that enhances focus, motivation and a sense of calm. This type has a limited attention span, is easily distracted by sounds and other stimuli, and is unable to shift focus. They also have difficulty falling asleep and often wake up during the night with anxiety or nightmares. They often feel overwhelmed by emotions and have short tempers, and are quickly frustrated with tasks and easily annoyed.

Those with Ring of Fire ADD have all the core symptoms of the classic ADD, but they also have trouble shifting their attention from one thought to another thought and from task to task. They are sensitive to light, noise, and touch. They talk too quickly and are impulsive. They are prone to low energy, moodiness and anger. They are also prone to getting stuck in negative thoughts and guilt feelings.

Limbic ADD can be confused with depression, but it's different than depression because it causes increased activity in the limbic part of the brain (the part that determines our emotional tone and regulates the level of happiness or sadness we are) and decreases activity in the prefrontal cortex at both when we are at rest and while in concentration. It can be treated with supplements such as L tryptophan (5-HTP) along with saffron, inositol, which improve alertness, mood and clarity. Amino acid GABA can also help calm neural activity, inhibiting nerve cells from firing erratically or excessively.

It is crucial to distinguish between ADD and mood disorders such as Bipolar Disorder that can cause frustration and irritability as well as low self-esteem. The difference is that ADD with Limbic symptoms of untreated adhd is more prone to constant anger and frustration over time, while Bipolar Disorder symptoms tend to appear in waves.

Overfocused ADD

Overfocused ADD sufferers often get stuck in negative thoughts and behaviors that cause excessive worrying. They exhibit rigid behaviors similar to the ones of people with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and that is the reason it's often misdiagnosed. These individuals often become threatened emotionally when they are required to shift their attention from one task to the next and may react with a threatening or hostile behavior.

They are often angry and their irritability can be caused by a low-grade chronic depression or sadness. They may also be afflicted by memory issues, feel intense anger, and are prone to having a short fuse.

People with overfocused ADD can be rigid when it comes switching tasks and can become absorbed in their work or hobby. They are more likely to miss deadlines at work, and forgetting appointments at home, and they may not finish tasks or school assignments. They can also be stubborn and resentful when punished by their teachers or parents.

Children with overfocused ADD show a high degree of irritability and stubbornness and can be prone to throwing inconsolable tantrums when their interests are trampled on. They may be obsessed with particular activities, toys and video games. They also have trouble expressing their emotions, and can be extremely sensitive to rejection or criticism.

This kind of ADD is difficult to identify, particularly for children. Children who exhibit this type of behavior are often unable to comprehend that their problems are caused by an inability to change their focus from one task to another. It is essential to talk to a professional as these children are more likely to be misdiagnosed with ADD. This kind of ADD is usually treated using modifications to diet, supplements and cognitive-behavioral therapy. This kind of ADD is difficult to treat, even with stimulant medication due to the fact that it can cause hyperactivity. Functional neuroimaging is a method to differentiate between the seven different types of ADD. It is especially useful in diagnosing hyperfocused ADD.

Anxious ADD

Many people who suffer from ADD suffer from a high level of anxiety. This comorbidity (having more than one disorder simultaneously) is common and affects the majority of people suffering from ADD/adhd in adults untreated. Stress and anxiety may mimic the symptoms of ADD/ADHD. Incorrect diagnosis can result in unsuitable treatment and frustration.

Anxious ADD can cause problems with school, work and social settings. This type of ADD can cause low performance and feelings of being unsatisfactory. People with anxious ADD tend to avoid difficult tasks and activities because they think they're not capable of completing the task.

They are also afraid of being judged and criticised. They hide their problems to others. In some cases, these people are so anxious and stressed that they experience panic attacks. They can be extremely life-threatening and cause sweating, a pounding heart, and difficulty breathing. Anxious ADD is distinct from Classic ADD because it has an increased activity in the basal ganglia and the amygdala. These areas are instinctive and place a high value on safety. This can shut down the PFC which makes it difficult for those with this condition to concentrate.

If someone suffering from anxiety or ADD, their symptoms are usually more difficult to manage than those of someone who isn't suffering from anxiety. This is because the treatment for severe adhd in adults programs for ADD/adhd treatment for adults uk which are designed to stimulate brain activity, can actually increase anxiety among people with anxious ADD.

The psychiatrists at Amen Clinics employ functional neuroimaging techniques, such as SPECT scanning to discover where in the brain there are low and/or high levels of activity. This allows them to distinguish between the seven types of brain and determine the best treatment.

To determine if someone has ADD/ADHD psychiatrist gathers a complete medical history and performs physical examination. Additionally, he or might ask questions regarding the patient's mood and behavior to evaluate the overall health of a patient. Sometimes, medications are prescribed to treat the symptoms of ADD/adhd treatment for adults. However, in most cases patients also need other therapies, including cognitive behavior therapy and exercise, nutrition, sleep strategies and desensitization. This can aid in improving their ability to manage their emotions and improve their overall function.

Temporal Lobe ADD

This type of ADD is a problem with the brain's temporal lobe, which is responsible for mood and memory. People suffering from this kind of ADD struggle to retain and learn, experience mood instability, and are prone to intense anger or aggression issues. They also suffer from various sensory issues, like feeling like they have déjà vu, experiencing shadows or objects changing shapes, and hearing sounds others don't. They are often irritable and sensitive and are often overwhelmed by certain activities, such as computer screens or crowds.

This type of ADD has similar symptoms to Classic ADD. These include short attention spans and disorganization. It also presents with difficulties staying focused or following instructions. This type of ADD is not associated with hyperactivity or impulsivity. This type of ADD occurs more often in women. People suffering from this type of ADD might have low levels of dopamine, a neurotransmitter, which can cause feelings of depression and low self-regulation. It is characterized by sleeplessness, anxiety and irritability.

In this instance QEEG scans of ADD brain show that those with Overfocused ADD have difficulty shifting gears. They are experiencing normal activity in the anterior cingulate cortex (the brain's "gearshifter"). They can't move from one task or thought to another and get stuck in negative thoughts and behaviors.

This is a type of ADD that is characterized by people who are highly motivated and hardworking but tend not to concentrate on their tasks. They can lose track of their school work and parents or teachers are often tired or ashamed of their behavior. They may have a difficult time in relationships because they can be hyper-active or reactive, and have difficulty with multitasking or working with others. In some cases they may be depressed or anxious. They might be susceptible to hallucinations or panic attacks. Medications are typically not recommended for this type of ADD as it doesn't treat the root of the symptoms.
