ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) are more common than you might think. These conditions often show up during childhood but can stick around into adulthood, affecting how people focus, organize tasks, and manage impulses. Whether it’s trouble paying attention, feeling restless, or making impulsive decisions, ADHD/ADD can impact almost every area of life, from school and work to personal relationships.
At Texas Psychiatry Group, we’re here to help you understand these challenges and provide the support you need. Our experienced team of mental health professionals is dedicated to offering personalized care, starting with a thorough and accurate diagnosis.
ADHD/ADD doesn’t look the same for everyone. The symptoms can vary depending on the individual and the type of ADHD/ADD they have. Here are the three main types.
If you or your child often struggle to stay organized, find it hard to focus, or frequently lose things, this might sound familiar. People with this type are more likely to be labeled as “daydreamers” or “absent-minded.”
This is the type where you feel like you just can’t sit still. Constant movement, talking excessively, and acting without thinking are common signs. It can be exhausting for both the individual and those around them.
This is the most common type, where inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity are all rolled into one. Managing this can feel overwhelming, but with the right approach, it’s entirely possible to find balance.
Getting the correct diagnosis is the first step towards finding the balance. At Texas Psychiatry Group, we use the latest assessment tools to ensure we get it right, so your treatment plan can be as effective as possible.
Once we have a clear diagnosis, it’s time to talk about treatment. ADHD/ADD is not a one-size-fits-all condition, so your treatment shouldn’t be either. We work closely with you to develop a plan that fits your lifestyle, addresses your specific symptoms, and helps you reach your goals.
Medication can be a game-changer for managing ADHD/ADD symptoms. Stimulants like methylphenidate and amphetamines are often the go-to, but we also explore non-stimulant options if needed. Our team will work with you to find the right medication and dosage, to before benefits and before side effects.
Medication isn’t the only tool in our toolkit. Behavioral therapy, particularly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), can make a huge difference in how you manage ADHD/ADD. Through therapy, you’ll learn strategies to stay organized, control impulses, and improve focus. Our therapists are here to guide and provide support. Every step of the way.
We believe in a holistic approach, which means looking at all aspects of your life. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, good sleeping habits, and stress management can all play a role in managing ADHD/ADD. We also offer family therapy and educational support to help you and your loved ones work together effectively.
Dealing with ADHD/ADD can be challenging, but you don’t have to do it alone. Texas Psychiatry Group is here to support you with personalized care and expert guidance. Reach out today to schedule a consultation and start your journey toward better health and well-being.
