ADD and Treatment

ADD and its treatment are usually related to issues at school, work, or at home. The psychiatric condition is often difficult to identify and treat.

The psychiatric condition is commonly known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, also known as ADHD. Mental health professionals use brain imaging using SPECT to determine ADHD.

The symptoms of typical ADD include being easily distracted, forgetful and disorganized. Antidepressants and stimulants 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 of ADD are able to maintain normal activity during concentration and at rest in the prefrontal cortex, however, they have less activity in their cerebellum and basal ganglia. These areas help produce dopamine, the neurotransmitter responsible for motivation, calmness and concentration. This type has a limited attention span, and is easily distracted by noises or other stimuli and is unable to switch focus. They also have difficulty falling asleep and are often woken up in the middle of the night with nightmares or anxiety. They are easily frustrated and can be easily angry.

Ring of Fire ADD is defined by all the standard ADD symptoms as well as a difficulty in shifting their focus from one thought to another and shifting their focus from one task to the next. They are sensitive to light, sound and even touch. They talk too quickly and are impulsive. They have periods of moodiness and low energy levels, are quick to get angry and can get stuck in negative thoughts and guilt.

Limbic ADD is often mistaken for depression, however it is different than depression because it causes increased activity in the limbic portion of the brain (the brain region that sets our emotional tone and controls the level of happiness or sadness we are) and decreases activity in the prefrontal cortex at both at rest and during concentration. It can be treated with supplements like L tryptophan (5-HTP) along with saffron, inositol, which improve alertness, mood and mental clarity. Amino acid GABA can also be helpful to calm neural activity, inhibiting nerve cells from firing irregularly or in excess.

It is important to differentiate between ADD and mood disorders such as Bipolar Disorder, which can cause irritability and frustration and low self-esteem. The distinction is that ADD with Limbic Symptoms is more prone to constant anger and frustration over time, whereas Bipolar Disorder symptoms tend to come in waves.

Overfocused ADD

Overfocused ADD sufferers tend to get stuck in negative thoughts and behavior that cause excessive worrying. They exhibit rigid behavior patterns that resemble the ones of people with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), which is the reason it's often incorrectly diagnosed. People with OCD are often threatened emotionally when they are asked to shift their attention from one thing to another, and can respond with an argumentative or hostile behavior.

They are often unhappy and their irritability can be caused by a low-grade chronic sadness or negativity. They may also have trouble learning, experience memory issues, or feel intense anger and aggression.

People who have hyper-focused ADD are unable to adapt when they have to change tasks, and could be captivated by their work or interests. They are at risk of missing deadlines at work, and forgetting appointments at home and may not complete tasks or school assignments. They can also be stubborn and resentful when they are punished by their parents or teachers.

Children with hyper-focused ADD have a high degree of irritability and stubbornness and can be likely to throw inconsolable tantrums when their interests are violated. They may be obsessed with particular toys, activities, and video games. They are also unable to express their emotions, and can be extremely sensitive to rejection or criticism.

This form of ADD can be difficult to identify, particularly for children. Children who exhibit this type of behavior often have trouble understanding that their issues are caused by an inability to change their attention from one task to the next. It is essential to talk to an expert since these children are more likely to have their ADD misdiagnosed. This type of ADD is typically treated with modifications to diet, supplements and cognitive-behavioral therapy. This type of ADD is extremely difficult to treat even with stimulant medication as it can cause the intensity of hyperactivity. Functional neuroimaging is often used to differentiate the seven distinct kinds of ADD, and is particularly useful for diagnosing hyperfocused ADD.

Anxious ADD

Many people suffering from ADD suffer from high levels of anxiety. Comorbidity, or having more than one disorder at the same time is a common occurrence and can affect up to half of people with ADD/ADHD. Stress and anxiety can mirror the symptoms of ADD/ADHD. Incorrect diagnosis can result in inadequate treatment and frustration.

Anxious ADD can cause problems at work, in school or in social situations. This kind of ADD can lead to low achievement and feelings of inadequacy. People with anxiety ADD are hesitant to take on difficult tasks or activities because they fear that they won't be successful.

They also fear being judged or considered a victim. This is why they often hide their troubles from others. In some instances, sufferers are so stressed and anxious that they develop panic attacks. These panic attacks can be severe and life-threatening. They cause an increase in heart rate sweating, difficulty breathing and difficulty breathing. Contrary to Classic ADD, those with Anxious ADD have increased activity in their basal ganglia as well as the amygdala, which operate on an instinctual basis, and are able to prioritize safety. This causes the brain to shut down the PFC, which can make it difficult for people with ADD to focus.

If someone suffering from anxiety or ADD the symptoms are typically more difficult to manage than those of someone who does not suffer from anxiety. This is due to the treatment programs for ADD/untreated adhd in adults relationships that are designed to increase brain activity, can increase anxiety among people with anxiety-related ADD.

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

To determine if a patient has ADD/ADHD, a psychiatrist gathers a complete medical history and performs an examination. Additionally, he or might ask questions regarding mood and behavior to assess a patient's overall functioning. Medications are sometimes used to treat ADD/Non Prescription Adhd treatment, but most patients require other treatments as well, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or nutrition and exercise, sleep strategies, desensitization, and other techniques to relax. This can increase their ability to manage their moods and overall performance.

Temporal Lobe ADD

This type of ADD involves the brain's temporal lobe, which is responsible for mood and memory. People with this type of ADD struggle to learn and store information, experience mood instability, and have severe anger or aggression issues. They may also suffer from sensory issues such as feeling deja vu, seeing shadows or objects change shape, or hearing sounds that other people don't hear. They are often sensitive and angry and are often overstimulated by certain activities, such as computer screens or crowds.

This kind of ADD has similar symptoms to Classic ADD. These include inattention spans that are short and disorganized. It also has difficulty staying on task or following directions. However, this type of ADD does not cause impulsivity or hyperactivity. This type of ADD occurs more often in women. People suffering from this kind of ADD might have low levels of dopamine, a neurotransmitter, which can cause feelings of low motivation and low self-regulation. Symptoms include difficulty sleeping, anger and anxiety.

In this instance, qEEG scans of the ADD brain show that those with Overfocused ADD are experiencing difficulties shifting gears. They are experiencing normal activity in the anterior cingulate gyrus (the brain's "gearshifter"). They are not able to move from one thought or task to the next, and they become stuck in negative thinking patterns and behavior.

This is a type of ADD in which people are extremely motivated and hardworking but tend not to pay attention to important tasks. They can get lost and feel embarrassed or exhausted by their behavior. They may have a hard relationship because they are hyper-active or reactive, and have a hard time managing multiple tasks or working with other people. In some instances they may be depressed or anxious. They may be susceptible to panic attacks and susceptible to hallucinations. Treatments for this type of ADD are not advised, since they don't address the underlying causes of symptoms.
