Inattentional ADD The inattentive form of ADHD is often ignored and is often one of the most difficult symptoms. Inattentional ADD can be a sign that you're constantly forgetting to pay your phone bill, or if you lose your keys. People with inattentive ADHD can have difficulty completing projects. External and internal distractions are always present. Their home or work environment is usually messy or chaotic. They might also be regularly late for school or work. They are often unable to remember important documents and forget appointments. Inattention ADD adults often find it difficult to follow written instructions and make careless mistakes in their work. They are often referred to as “flaky” or “space cadets” because they tend to lose focus during meetings and conversations. Children with this subtype of ADHD struggle in school because they aren't always paying attention. They are easily distracted by daydreaming or gazing out the window. They are often unable to finish their homework and have difficulty following the directions of their teacher or in class. They rush through exams and often forget to answer questions they already know the answers to. The consequences of not proofreading documents or emails meticulously can be disastrous at work. Therapy for behavioral and medication can be used to treat inattentive ADD. Stimulants are effective and quickly relieve ADD symptoms. Examples of stimulants are Adderall, Ritalin and Metadate. Non-stimulants, which are slower to work but are longer lasting, are sometimes used for people who have inattention ADHD who don't respond to stimulants. Talk therapy is usually prescribed with medication to help reduce negative behaviors and build positive ones. Limbic ADD The limbic area of your brain is affected by this attention disorder. This area is responsible for controlling our moods, and also the fight or flight response. People with this kind of ADD experience difficulties with their moods and can be easily overwhelmed by stress. They might also experience low self-esteem or difficulty forming emotional bonds with other people. They are often misdiagnosed with depression, but antidepressants can worsen their symptoms. Patients with this type have symptoms of ADD plus symptoms related the temporal lobe located under the temples. Learning, memory and mood stability all suffer. Their behavior can turn explosive and they can be quick to get angry. signs and symptoms of adhd in adults are very sensitive to light, noise and even touch. The prefrontal cortex of their brain is underactive while the limbic region (which is responsible for setting their mood) is hyperactive. Ring of Fire ADD is treated by increasing dopamine levels in the patient. This can be achieved through diet changes, blood-pressure medication, and stimulants such as DL-phenylalanine L-tryosine, and SAMe. It is also crucial to create a library of positive memories as this can help stabilize mood. Engaging in cognitive behavioral therapy and forming strong relationships can aid in emotional regulation and mood in this type of ADD. It is also helpful to meditate and practice mindfulness. This is a very challenging condition to treat because it can take a long time to progress in improving mood and controlling impulses. However, a comprehensive ADD treatment plan that incorporates diet, exercise and meditating can improve the mood of those with this type of ADD. Anxious ADD People with this type of ADD are afflicted with all the typical symptoms of ADD, but also exhibit extreme anxiety and anxiety. These symptoms are worsened when they are with others or in periods of anxiety or stress. They tend to avoid situations that can trigger these feelings. Even if they are unable to stay clear of them, it is difficult for them to concentrate on tasks that require concentration. This is due to the amygdala and basal ganglia, which are part of our “reptilian brain,” override the higher functioning prefrontal cortex, and stop the ability to process additional information. This causes a person to feel overwhelmed and anxious and inability to concentrate. It is crucial to understand that there are many symptoms that are common to ADD and anxiety. It is important to note that if a person has ADHD criteria, they may also meet the criteria of an anxiety disorder such as social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder or panic disorders. Anxious ADD patients can suffer from a variety of physical reactions, including headaches or digestive problems. They might also feel restless, fatigued, or have headaches. These symptoms can be treated by a combination of psychotherapy and medication. The treatment protocols used by the Drake Institute for Anxious ADD is similar to those for the classic ADD. The key is to help patients reduce their anxiety by increasing blood flow to the brain and boosting dopamine and serotonin levels. The most common method is the combination of diet, supplements and medications. This is a complex process that requires the knowledge of a doctor like the Drake Clinic. Temporal Lobe ADD Temporal lobe ADD manifests as symptoms of being easily distracted and unable to concentrate. Those suffering from this type of ADD are also unable to remember things and have difficulty understanding people. They might also feel as if things have happened before. People with this type of ADD are prone to having difficulty managing their emotions and may become easily angry or irritable. Rapid changes in mood can make it difficult for them to sleep or fall asleep. They may also have difficulty coping with daily stressors and may also suffer from depression, anxiety, or other mental health issues. This kind of ADD is visible on brain scans as overactivity in the cerebral cortex and other brain regions. It's akin to classic ADD but without excessive impulsivity or hyperactivity. This kind of ADD is distinguished by a lack of ability to regulate behavior. It can cause serious social and occupational problems. There is also a connection between this type of ADD and bipolar disorder but unlike bipolar classic, it does not come with episodes of mania. The most effective treatment options for this type of ADD are behavioral supplements and programs that encourage tranquility. GABA (gamma aminobutryic acid), which calms neural activity in the brain, magnesium, which can reduce anxiety and irritability, and vinpocetine, or gingko, can help improve memory problems. It is recommended to do vigorous aerobic exercise for 30 to 45 minutes per day to increase blood flow and release endorphins that boost your mood. Keep a journal of your mood swings to identify triggers and develop a 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 form is more common among boys than in girls, and usually begins by age 12 years old. People who suffer from ADHD combined have trouble managing daily tasks, school, work or relationships. They may have difficulty to manage their time or resources and can easily become distracted by external stimuli. They might forget important dates, deadlines at school or work, or even lose their wallet or car keys. They may have trouble waiting for their turn, mutter answers, or engage in risky behavior to alleviate boredom or frustration. Contrary to the inattentive form of ADHD people with the combined form tend to be more agitated and fidgety. They might experience extreme fatigue, have difficulty sitting still or experience internal agitation. They may have difficulty regulating their emotions, which can lead to frequent emotional outbursts. The diagnosis of ADHD combined type requires a thorough medical interview with a mental health professional as well as an evaluation of the individual's developmental and medical background, family history, the performance of their job and symptom presentation. To determine the severity of a person's symptoms, standardized ratings scales and checklists for behaviour are employed. Psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral treatment (CBT) and lifestyle modifications are all nonstimulant treatments that can be used to treat ADHD combined. Parents of children suffering from ADHD can also benefit from training programs that assist them in managing their child's behavior. The variety of medications available for ADHD combined type is growing and will continue to grow. This enables individualized treatment plans that are adapted to the specific needs of each person. They include methylphenidate lisdexamfetamine and atomoxetine, all of which are non-stimulants. These drugs affect how certain chemicals communicate in the brain to regulate the person's behavior.
