ADHD — An Overview
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that can affect adults, teens, and children. While some people downplay its symptoms and impact, it can significantly affect all aspects of life including academic performance, work productivity, and interpersonal relationships. ADHD exists on a spectrum, with some people struggling primarily with inattention and disorganization while others deal more with hyperactivity or impulsivity.
​
While ADHD presents enough challenges on its own, mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and anger, frequently accompany an ADHD diagnosis. It is also common for people with ADHD to have additional diagnoses such as OCD, Tourette’s Syndrome, and learning disabilities. This can add to the complexity and overwhelm a client may face. Our trained Toronto therapists take all of these factors into consideration when finding an approach that works for you.
Why is Everyone's Experience with ADHD Different?
At Radcliffe Psychotherapy Clinic, we understand that your life with ADHD is unique, and so is our approach to treatment. We’re dedicated to working with you in a supportive, collaborative environment to explore how ADHD affects all facets of your life. Our diverse and experienced therapists provide assessment, education, skills-training, and counselling as a holistic approach to helping you manage life with ADHD. And while we know that for some clients medication works well, for many clients it doesn't provide a complete solution, and for some it's not even an option at all. Our approach to ADHD can help address areas that medication hasn't helped with, as a complementary, or even alternative approach.
​
Psychotherapy for ADHD involves working with the whole experience of a person's ADHD, which starts with understanding how ADHD shows up for you in your particular context. In contrast to some other treatment options for ADHD, psychotherapy for ADHD can help provide you with the skills, knowledge, and practical tools to manage ADHD and related issues such as anxiety and depression. We provide various therapies for ADHD counselling in Toronto and Ontario, depending on your individual needs.
How To Manage Life With ADHD
There is no one-size-fits-all solution to manage life in the context of ADHD. Medication is appropriate in many cases but individuals with ADHD still need to have a good understanding of how their unique brains and ADHD traits impact their lives and relationships.
ADHD awareness, skills training and ADHD-Informed Therapy can pave the way and provide individuals with specific ways to manage their time, stay organized and on task, and cope with difficult emotions, as well as other typical ADHD challenges.
