Attention deficit disorder ADD can be treated with medication and behavioral therapy. Stimulants work quickly and help relieve ADD symptoms. Examples of stimulants are Adderall, Ritalin and Metadate. Non-stimulants, which work slower but last longer are often used by people with inattentive ADHD if they don't respond to stimulants. Medications are often prescribed in combination with talk therapy, which consists of regular sessions with a therapist to decrease negative behavior patterns and strengthen positive ones. Limbic ADD The limbic region of your brain is affected by this attention disorder. This brain region is responsible for controlling our moods, and also the fight or flight response. People with this type of ADD suffer from problems with their emotions and can be easily overwhelmed by stress. They might also experience low self-esteem or trouble forming emotional bonds with other people. They are often misinterpreted as depression, however if they take antidepressants it could increase their negative symptoms. Patients with this type of ADD have core ADD symptoms plus symptoms related to the temporal lobe located underneath the temples. Memory, learning and mood stability are all affected. They can be violent and quick to get angry. They are extremely sensitive to light, noise and even touch. The prefrontal cortex in their brain is not active, whereas the limbic region (which is responsible for setting their mood) is overactive. The treatment for ring of fire ADD involves increasing the patient's dopamine levels that are achieved through diet changes blood pressure medication, stimulants such as DL-phenylalanine L-tryosine, and SAMe. It is also important to create a library of positive memories, since this aids in stabilizing mood. This kind of ADD can be treated by engaging in cognitive behavioral therapy and building strong relationships. Meditation and mindfulness techniques can also be beneficial. It isn't easy to treat this condition, since it takes a lengthy time for mood to improve and for impulses to be controlled. However, a comprehensive ADD treatment plan that incorporates diet, exercise and meditating can improve mood in patients with this type of ADD. Anxious ADD This type of ADD is characterised by all the typical ADD symptoms, but also by severe anxiety and anxiety. These feelings are heightened when they are with others, or during situations of stress or anxiety. They tend to avoid situations which trigger these feelings. Even if they can't avoid them, it is difficult for them to concentrate on tasks that require focus. This is due to the fact that the amygdalas and basal ganglias that are part of the so-called “reptilian” brain, override and block our ability to process more information. This causes the person to feel overwhelmed and anxious, and not able to focus. It is crucial to understand that it can be difficult to distinguish between ADD and anxiety, as there are a variety of symptoms that can be correlated with one and can be confusing. It is important to keep in mind that if a person meets ADHD criteria, they may also have the characteristics of anxiety disorders such as social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder or panic disorders. Anxious ADD sufferers may experience a range of physical reactions such as digestive problems or headaches. They may also experience fatigue, restlessness or suffer from headaches. These symptoms can be managed by a combination of psychotherapy and medication. The treatment protocols used by the Drake Institute for Anxious ADD is similar to the ones used for classic ADD. The key is to help them reduce their anxiety by improving blood flow to the brain and increasing serotonin and dopamine levels. This is usually done by combining supplements, diet and medications. This is a difficult process that requires a skilled physician like the Drake Clinic team. Temporal Lobe ADD Temporal lobe ADD is characterized by being easily distracted and inability to focus. Those suffering from this type of ADD may also have difficulty to recall things and have difficulties understanding others. They may also experience the feeling that something they're experiencing has been experienced previously, or they may experience a sense of deja vu.

They may also struggle to cope with everyday stressors and may suffer from depression, anxiety or other mental health issues. This kind of ADD is defined by an overactivity of the cerebral cortex, along with other areas of the brain. It is similar to classical ADD but without the hyperactivity and impulsivity. This kind of ADD is distinguished by a deficiency to regulate behavior. It can cause serious occupational and social issues. This type of ADD is also link ed to bipolar disorder, but unlike the classic bipolar, it does not include episodes of mania. The most effective treatment for this condition is behavioral programs and supplements that promote calm. GABA (gamma aminobutryic acid) helps to calm neural activity in the mind, magnesium, which can aid in reducing anxiety and irritability, and gingko, or vinpocetine can help improve memory problems. It is recommended to perform vigorous aerobic exercise for 30 to 45 minutes each day to increase the blood flow and release endorphins that boost your mood. It is also important to keep a log of changes in mood so that you can keep track of your triggers and create an action plan to deal with these. 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 condition is more prevalent for boys than girls and typically develops around 12. People who suffer from ADHD combined type have difficulty managing daily tasks, school, work or relationships. They may have difficulty to manage their time or materials and can easily be distracted by external stimuli. They might miss important deadlines, dates or important dates at work or at school or even lose their wallets or car keys.

They might feel extremely fatigued, have difficulty sitting still, or feel internal restlessness. They may have difficulty regulating their emotions, resulting in frequent emotional explosions. Diagnosis of ADHD combined type requires an extensive clinical interview with a mental health professional and also an assessment of the individual's developmental and medical history, family history, work performance and symptom manifestation. To evaluate a person's symptoms, standardized behavior checklists and rating scales are employed. Psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral treatment (CBT) and lifestyle modifications are all nonstimulant treatments that can be utilized for ADHD when combined. People with ADHD might benefit from parent education programs to help them better comprehend and manage their child's behavior. The variety of effective drugs for ADHD combined type has grown and is continuing to expand and allows for personalized treatment plans that cater to the individual's needs. These include methylphenidate, lisdexamfetamine and atomoxetine, all of which are non-stimulants. These drugs control behavior by controlling the way certain brain chemicals communicate.
