Treatment for ADHD


 ADHD SYMPTOMS


Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder impacts the entire body. ADHD is not a deficit so much as a dysregulation disorder characterized by a dysregulation of attention but also a dysregulation of emotions, sensory awareness, and of the nervous system resulting in a complex presentation beyond what is included in diagnostic criteria. Symptoms may include: difficulty focusing, staying on task, forgetfulness, fidgeting, restlessness, talking too much, interrupting others, acting without thinking. ADHD can also include missing hunger cues, decision paralysis, mood fluctuations, feeling overwhelmed by the environment, struggling with social interactions, consistently failing to complete household tasks that others seem to be able to tackle such as the dishes, laundry, and hygiene tasks.
