Richmond ADHD Counseling – Symptoms, Causes, Treatment

Do you suffer from attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)? ADHD can make you feel overwhelmed, distracted, and impulsive — like you’ve lost control of your life. The good news is you can regain control. Reach out to Thriveworks Richmond to schedule an ADHD counseling appointment and get the support that you need.

What Are the Symptoms of ADHD?

Symptoms of ADHD can include:

• Trouble concentrating
• Restlessness
• Impulsiveness
• Disorganization
• Frequent mood swings

These symptoms can make it difficult to live a happy and productive life, but you can learn how to manage them.

What’s the Difference Between ADHD and ADD?

You’ll often hear these two terms used interchangeably. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and attention-deficit disorder (ADD) were once two different conditions, but they now refer to the same condition. ADHD is the current and preferred terminology.

ADHD and Time Management

Are you constantly late for work and social events? No matter how much of a head start you give yourself, you just can’t seem to to beat the clock. It’s important to realize this has nothing to do with laziness. Persons with ADHD are prone to distractibility and can easily lose track of time.

The good news is that you can learn to better manage your time. Part of the answer may lie in your pocket — your smartphone. Use your phone’s calendar to set reminders to alert you of upcoming events. Set two reminders: one a few days before the event and a second one an hour before the event. Technology can be a great tool for managing your ADHD, but take care that it doesn’t become another source of distraction.

For people struggling with the symptoms of ADHD, staying focused and organized can be difficult — but it can be done. Just because you have ADHD, it doesn’t mean you can’t still be productive and accomplish your goals. Let us help you bring your life into focus.
