ADD and Treatment

ADD and treatment is usually associated with problems at home, school or at work. The psychiatric disorder can be difficult for doctors to diagnose and treat.

The psychiatric disorder is most often referred to as attention hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. Mental health specialists diagnose ADHD using SPECT brain images.

Symptoms include being easily distracted, forgetful and disorganized. The use of medications such as stimulants and antidepressants can aid in overcoming.

Limbic ADD

The most common form of ADD, also known as classic ADD or hyperactive-impulsive ADD, is characterized by inattention, a lack of organizational skills, difficulty staying on task, and trouble with memory. Brain scans reveal that those suffering from this type are able to maintain normal activity during concentration and rest in the prefrontal cortex, but have decreased activity in their cerebellum as well as the basal ganglia. These areas help produce dopamine, which is an important neurotransmitter that is that is responsible for motivation, tranquility, and focus. People with this type have a difficult in shifting their focus, are easily distracted by distractions and noises, and have shorter attention spans. They have difficulty falling asleep and frequently awake in the middle of the night, battling anxiety. They are often overwhelmed by emotions and possess short tempers, and are quickly annoyed by tasks and easily annoyed.

People suffering from Ring of Fire ADD have all the symptoms of classic ADD However, they also struggle to shift their attention from thought to thought and from task to task. They are sensitive to light, noise, and touch and talk too quickly and are easily impulsive and easily triggered into a mean-spirited behaviors. They are prone to low energy, moodiness, and anger. They also tend to get stuck in negative thoughts and guilt-related feelings.

Limbic ADD is often mistaken for depression, but it's distinct from depression in that it is associated with increased activity in the limbic portion of the brain (the area that sets our emotional tone and regulates how happy or sad we are) and reduces activity in the prefrontal cortex at both rest and during concentration. It is a condition that can be treated using supplements like L-tryptophan, 5-HTP inositol, saffron, and saffron that increase alertness, focus and mood as well as mental clarity. Also, amino acid GABA to regulate neural activity and inhibit nerve cells from over-firing or firing irregularly and liver support.

It is important to differentiate between ADD and mood disorders, such as Bipolar Disorder which can also result in frustration and irritability, as well as low self-esteem. The main difference between ADD with Limbic Symptoms and Bipolar Disorder is that ADD is more consistent in its level of irritability that lasts over time. Bipolar Disorder tends to suffer from symptoms that occur in waves.

Overfocused ADD

Overfocused ADD patients tend to get caught up in negative thoughts and behavior that result in excessive worry. They exhibit rigid behaviors that resemble the ones of people with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) which is the reason it's often misdiagnosed. People with OCD are often threatened emotionally when they are required to shift their focus from one activity to another and may respond with argumentative or oppositional behavior.

They are often irritable and their irritability may be caused by chronic low-grade sadness or negativity. They might also have difficulty learning, struggle with memory issues, or feel intense anger and aggression.

People with overfocused ADD may be rigid when it comes switching tasks and can become absorbed in their hobbies or work. They may not remember appointments or deadlines at home or at work and may not complete their schoolwork or chores. They may also be extremely stubborn and resentful when disapproved of by their teachers or parents.

Children with hyperfocused ADD can be angry and stubborn, and they might throw temper tantrums when their interests aren't recognized. They can be obsessive about specific toys, activities and video games. They can also have difficulty communicating their feelings and are extremely sensitive to criticism or rejection.

This kind of ADD can be difficult to diagnose, especially in children. These children often don't understand the cause of their condition. It's caused by their inability to switch their attention from one thing to the next. It's important to consult an expert since these children are more likely to be misdiagnosed with ADD. This type of ADD is usually treated with diet changes, supplements, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. This kind of ADD is hard to treat even with stimulant medications due to the fact that it can cause the intensity of hyperactivity. Functional neuroimaging is often used to differentiate the seven distinct types of ADD, and is particularly useful in diagnosing over-focused ADD.

Anxious ADD

Many people suffering from ADD experience high levels of anxiety. Comorbidity, also known as having multiple disorders simultaneously is a common problem and affects up to half of people with ADD/ADHD. Stress and anxiety can resemble the symptoms of ADD/ADHD and misdiagnosis can lead to improper treatment and further frustration.

Anxious ADD can cause issues with school, work and social settings. This kind of ADD may result in low performance and feelings of inadequacy. People suffering from anxious ADD tend to avoid challenging tasks and events because they believe they won't do well.

They also fear being criticised or considered a victim. They also hide their issues from others. In some instances, people are so stressed and anxious that they experience panic attacks. These panic attacks can be severe and life-threatening. They trigger heart pounding sweating, breathing difficulties and difficulty. Contrary to Classic ADD, those with Anxious ADD have increased activity in their basal ganglia and the amygdala. They operate on an instinctual basis, and are able to prioritize safety. This can shut down PFC and can make it difficult for these individuals focus.

If a person suffers from anxiety and ADD/ADHD, the symptoms they experience are more difficult to manage. This is because treatments for ADD/adult adhd treatments, that are designed to stimulate brain activity, Add and treatment can increase anxiety among people with anxiety-related ADD.

The psychiatrists at Amen Clinics employ functional neuroimaging techniques, such as SPECT scanning to discover where in the brain there are low and/or high levels of activity. This helps them differentiate between the seven types of brain and determine the best treatment.

A psychiatrist will collect an entire medical record and perform a physical examination to diagnose ADHD or ADD. He or she may also inquire about mood and behavior to assess the patient's overall performance. Sometimes, medications are prescribed to treat the symptoms of ADD/ADHD. However, in many instances, patients also require other treatments, like cognitive behavior therapy and exercise, nutrition sleep strategies, desensitization and sleep strategies. This can help improve their ability to manage their emotions and improve their overall function.

Temporal Lobe ADD

This kind of ADD affects the temporal lobe in the brain, which is responsible for memory and mood. People suffering from this type of ADD struggle to learn and store information they experience mood instability and suffer from intense anger or aggression issues. They may also suffer from sensory issues, such as experiencing like they're in a dream when objects or shadows change form or hearing sounds that others don't hear. They tend to be sensitive and angry and are often overwhelmed by certain activities, like computer screens or crowds.

Symptoms of this type of ADD are similar to those in Classic ADD, including short attention spans, disorganization, difficulty following directions or staying focused, and procrastinating. However, this type of ADD doesn't cause impulsivity or hyperactivity. This kind of ADD is more common in women. This type of ADD is characterised by low levels of dopamine in the brain, which can lead to feelings of depression or insufficient self-regulation. The symptoms include insomnia, anxiety and irritability.

In this case QEEG scans of the ADD brain reveal that individuals with over-focused ADD are experiencing difficulty shifting gears. They have normal activity in the anterior cingulate cortex (the brain's "gearshifter"). They are unable to shift from one thought or task to another, and get stuck in negative thought patterns and behaviours.

This is a form of ADD where people are extremely motivated and hardworking but have a tendency not to pay attention to important tasks. They can get lost in their school work and their teachers or parents are often exhausted or embarrassed by their behavior. They might have a difficult time in relationships because they are impulsive or reactive, and struggle with multitasking or working with others. In certain situations, they could suffer from depression or anxiety. They might be susceptible to hallucinations or panic attacks. Medications for this type of ADD are not usually advised, since they don't address the underlying reason for the symptoms.
