ADD Symptoms May Be Different For Boys and Girls ADD symptoms may be different for boys and girls. People who are primarily inattentional ADD are unable to focus and are easily distracted. They are often distracted and forget their daily tasks. Avoids or does not like tasks that require sustained mental effort (e.g. chores and schoolwork). Sometimes forgets to pay bills or return phone calls. Inattentional ADD The inattentive version of ADHD is often overlooked and is often one of the most difficult symptoms. Inattentional ADD could be a sign if you're always not paying your phone bill, or if you lose your keys. People with inattentive ADHD might have difficulty seeing projects through to completion. External and internal distractions are always present. They tend to be unorganized or messy at home or at work. They may also be chronically tardy to school or work. They are often unable to remember important documents and miss appointments. Adults with ADD who are unable to pay attention have trouble following written instructions and can make careless errors. They are prone to lose track of conversations and meetings and are often referred to as “space cadets” or “flaky.” Children with this subtype of ADHD struggle in school because they're not always paying attention. signs of adhd in adults are easily distracted by daydreaming or staring at the sky. They are often unable to turn in homework and struggle with verbal directions or listening in class. They rush through exams, and often miss questions that they have the answer to. The consequences of not proofreading emails or documents carefully can be severe at work. Therapy for behavioral and medication can be utilized to treat inattention ADD. Stimulants relieve ADD symptoms quickly. Examples of stimulants include Adderall, Ritalin and Metadate. Some non-stimulants are prescribed to people who are not attentive ADHD patients who are not responsive to stimulants. They perform slower however they last longer. They are usually prescribed in combination with talk therapy, which consists of regular sessions with a therapist in order to decrease negative behavior patterns and strengthen positive ones. Limbic ADD The limbic region of your brain is affected by this attention disorder. This brain area regulates our mood and is a part of the fight or flight response. People with this kind of ADD suffer from issues with their moods and can be easily overwhelmed by stress. They may also have difficulty to establish emotional bonds with others or have low self-esteem. Their symptoms are often misinterpreted as depression, however when they are prescribed antidepressants, they may experience more negative symptoms. Patients suffering from this type of ADD have core ADD symptoms and symptoms linked to the temporal lobe situated beneath the temples. Their memory, learning, and mood stability are all affected. They can be impulsive and quick to get angry. They can be very sensitive to light, noise and even touch. Brain scans show that their prefrontal cortex is underactive, while the deep limbic region (responsible for setting the mood of an individual) is hyperactive. The treatment for ring of fire ADD involves increasing the levels of dopamine in the patient and this is achieved through changes in diet blood pressure medication, stimulating supplements like DL-phenylalanine, L-tryosine, and SAMe. It is important to create a collection of happy memories because this can help stabilize your mood. Practicing cognitive behavioral therapy and building strong relationships can help with the regulation of emotions and mood in this type of ADD. It is also beneficial to use meditation and mindfulness techniques. This is a challenging condition to treat because it can take an extended time to make headway in improving mood and regulating impulses. A complete ADD program that incorporates exercise and diet, as well as meditating can boost the mood of patients with this form of ADD. Anxious ADD People with this type of ADD have all the classic symptoms of ADD however, they also display severe feelings of anxiety and nervousness. These feelings are intensified when they are around other people, or in times of anxiety or stress. They tend to avoid situations that trigger these feelings. Even if they are unable to stay clear of them, it is hard for them to concentrate on tasks that require focus. This is due to the fact that the amygdala and the basal ganglia, which are part of our so-called “reptilian brain,” override the higher functioning prefrontal cortex and shut down the ability to process more information. This causes a person to feel overwhelmed and anxious, and unable to concentrate. It is important to know that there are a variety of symptoms which overlap between ADD and anxiety. It is important to keep in mind that if a person meets ADHD criteria, they could also meet the criteria of an anxiety disorder, such as generalized anxiety disorder or panic disorders. Anxious ADD sufferers can have a variety of physical reactions to stress and anxiety including headaches, digestive issues, restlessness or fatigue. These symptoms can be treated through the combination of psychotherapy and medication. The treatment protocols employed by the Drake Institute for Anxious ADD is similar to those used for the classic ADD. The key is to reduce anxiety by increasing the flow of blood to the head and increasing serotonin levels. We typically do this using the combination of diet, supplements and medications. This is a complex procedure that requires the expertise of a clinician such as the Drake Clinic. Temporal Lobe ADD Temporal lobe ADD is known as being easily distracted and unable focus. Those suffering from this kind of ADD are also unable to remember things and have difficulty understanding people. They may also feel like things have happened before. Those who suffer from this type of ADD have trouble with balancing emotions and can be very fast to become angry or frustrated. They may also find it difficult to sleep or have a difficult sleeping due to the rapid changes in mood. They may also have difficulty managing stressors that are present in their daily lives and may also suffer from depression, anxiety, or other mental health issues. This kind of ADD is characterised by an excessive activity of the cerebral cortex along with other parts of the mind. It is similar to classic ADD but without the hyperactivity and impulsivity. This kind of ADD can cause significant problems in the workplace and social because of the inability to control behavior. There is a link between this type of ADD and bipolar disorder, but unlike classic bipolar it is not associated with episodes of mania. The best treatment for this type is behavioral therapies and supplements which promote calmness. These include GABA (gamma-aminobutryic acid) which aids in calming the brain's neural activity brain and magnesium, which can aid in reducing anxiety and irritability; and gingko or vinpocetine, which can improve memory problems. It is recommended to engage in vigorous aerobic exercise for 30 to 45 minutes every day to increase blood flow and release endorphins that boost your mood. Keep a journal of your mood swings to keep track of triggers and formulate an action plan. ADHD Type of Combination People with ADHD combined type exhibit symptoms from both inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive subtypes of the disorder. This form of the condition may also be called “dysfunctional attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder” (ADDHD). This kind of condition is more common among boys than in girls, and usually begins around the age of 12. People who have ADHD combined type often find it difficult to manage daily tasks, work, school or relationships. They may have difficulty to manage their time or resources and easily become distracted by external stimuli. They might forget important dates, deadlines at work or at school or even lose their wallet or keys to their car. They might not be able to sit and wait for their turn, or make up answers or engage in risky behaviour in order to alleviate boredom or frustration. Contrary to the inattentive form of ADHD people with the combined form tend to be more fidgety and restless. They are susceptible to extreme fatigue, difficulty being still, or experiencing internal restlessness. They may struggle to control their emotions, leading to frequent emotional outbursts. The diagnosis of ADHD combined type is based on an interview with a mental health professional. This involves a thorough evaluation of the individual's medical and developmental background and family history and work performance and the manner in which they exhibit symptoms. Standardised rating scales and behavioural checklists can also be used to determine a person's symptoms. Nonstimulant treatments for ADHD combined type include psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and lifestyle changes. People suffering from ADHD might also benefit from parenting programs that can help parents be able to manage their child's behavior. The range of effective medications for ADHD combined type has gotten larger and is continuing to expand and allows for personalized treatment plans that meet each person's unique needs. The options include methylphenidate lisdexamfetamine and atomoxetine, which are all classified as nonstimulants. These drugs affect how certain chemicals interact in the brain to regulate the person's behavior.
