ADD and treatment for adhd and ptsd combined

ADD and its treatment are usually related to issues at school, work, or home. The psychiatric disorder isn't easy to identify and manage.

The psychiatric condition is often referred to as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, also known as ADHD. Mental health specialists diagnose treating inattentive adhd using SPECT brain images.

Some of the symptoms are 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. Scans of the brain show those suffering from this condition have normal activity in the prefrontal cortex at rest and during concentration, but reduced activity in the cerebellum and the basal ganglia which help make dopamine, a neurotransmitter which promotes motivation, focus, and calmness. This type has a short attention span, and is easily distracted by sounds and other stimuli and is unable to switch focus. They also have trouble sleeping and frequently wake up during the night with anxiety or nightmares. They are often overwhelmed by emotions and have short tempers, and are quickly frustrated with tasks and easily annoyed.

Those with Ring of Fire ADD have all the symptoms of classic ADD however, they also have trouble shifting their attention from thought to thought and from task to task. They have a sensitivity to noise, light, and touch and they talk too quickly and are impulsive, and easily provoked into mean behaviour. They have periods of moodiness and low energy, are quick to get angry, and get stuck on negative thoughts and guilt feelings.

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

It is crucial to differentiate between ADD and mood disorders such as Bipolar Disorder, which can cause irritability, frustration, and poor self-esteem. The difference is that ADD with Limbic Symptoms has more consistent frustration and irritability over time, while Bipolar Disorder symptoms tend to come in waves.

Overfocused ADD

Over-focused ADD patients often get stuck in negative thoughts and behavior that result in excessive worry. This is because they exhibit rigid behaviors similar to people with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). These individuals often become threatened emotionally when they are required to shift their attention from one activity to another and may respond with argumentative or oppositional behavior.

These people tend to have a short fuse and their irritability stems from a chronic low-grade sadness or negativity "glass half-empty syndrome" and frequent feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness. They may also experience difficulties learning, have memory issues, or feel intense anger and aggression.

People who have hyper-focused ADD can be rigid when it comes to switching tasks and can become absorbed in their job or pastime. They might forget appointments and deadlines at work or at home, and they may not finish their schoolwork or chores. They can also be very resistant and angry when they are reprimanded or chastised by their parents or teacher.

Children with overfocused ADD exhibit a high level of irritability and stubbornness, and may be likely to throw inconsolable tantrums when their interests are not respected. They may be obsessed with particular activities, toys and video games. They also have difficulty expressing their emotions and may be extremely sensitive to rejection or criticism.

This form of ADD is more common in children and is difficult to diagnose. Children who exhibit this behavior are often unable to comprehend that their issues are caused by a lack of ability to switch their focus from one task to the next. It is essential to talk to an expert as these children are more likely to be misdiagnosed for ADD. This kind of ADD is usually treated using modifications to diet, supplements and cognitive-behavioral therapy. Sometimes, medications are prescribed, however this kind of ADD is difficult to treat with stimulant drugs, since they can increase a person's level of hyperactivity. Functional neuroimaging is sometimes used to differentiate the seven distinct kinds of ADD, and is particularly helpful for diagnosing overfocused ADD.

Anxious ADD

Many people with ADD experience high levels of anxiety. Comorbidity, also known as having more than one disorder at the same time is a common problem and affects as much as half of those with ADD/adhd in adults treatment. Stress and anxiety can resemble the symptoms of ADD/ADHD, and the wrong diagnosis can lead to ineffective treatment and even more frustration.

Anxious ADD can lead to problems at school, work, and social situations. This type of ADD can lead to underachievement and feelings of unworthiness. People with anxious ADD tend to avoid difficult tasks and events, believing they're not capable of completing the task.

They are also afraid of being judged or critiqued. This is why they tend to hide their issues from others. In some cases, these people are so anxious and stressed that they experience panic attacks. They can be extremely life-threatening and cause sweating, a heart that is pounding and breathing difficulties. Contrary to Classic ADD, those with Anxious ADD have increased activity in their basal ganglia as well as the amygdala. They operate on an instinctual basis and prioritize safety. This can shut down PFC and makes it difficult for people with this disorder to focus.

If a person suffers from ADD/adhd symptoms treatment and anxiety their symptoms are more difficult to treat. This is because treatment protocols for ADD/adhd in adults symptoms and treatment which are designed to stimulate the brain could actually increase anxiety among people with anxiety ADD due to a decrease in the activity of their PFC.

Amen Clinic psychiatrists employ functional neuroimaging such as SPECT scans to determine where in the brain high and/or lower levels of activity are present. This allows them to distinguish between the seven types and determine the best method of treatment.

To determine if a patient has ADD/ADHD, a psychiatrist takes a thorough medical history and conducts an examination. In addition, he or might ask questions regarding the patient's mood and behavior to evaluate a patient's overall functioning. Sometimes, medications are used to treat ADD/ADHD but in most cases, patients need other therapies as well, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or nutrition and exercise, sleep strategies, desensitization and other relaxation techniques. This will help improve their ability to control their emotions and their overall functioning.

Temporal Lobe ADD

This type of ADD involves the brain's temporal lobe which is responsible for mood and memory. This kind of ADD is characterised by a problem learning and storing information, mood instability and severe anger or aggression. They may also be suffering from sensory issues like feeling deja vu when objects or shadows change form or hearing sounds that others don't hear. They can be extremely sensitive and angry and are often overstimulated by certain things, such as computer screens or crowds.

The symptoms of this kind of ADD are similar to those seen in Classic ADD, including short attention spans and disorganization, difficulties in following directions or staying focused, and procrastinating. This kind of ADD does not cause an excessive amount of impulsivity or hyperactivity. This kind of ADD is more prevalent in females. This type of ADD is characterized by low levels of dopamine in the brain, which can lead to feelings of depression or insufficient self-regulation. Some of the symptoms include difficulty sleeping and feelings of irritability or anxiety.

In this case, qEEG scans of the ADD brain show that those with over-focused ADD are having difficulty shifting gears. They are experiencing normal activity in the anterior cingulate region (the brain's "gearshifter"). They are unable to move from one task or thought to another and get stuck in negative thoughts and behaviors.

This is a type of ADD where individuals can be highly motivated and productive however, they tend to be easily distracted by unimportant or non-essential tasks. They may lose track of their school work, and their teachers or parents are often exhausted or ashamed of their behavior. They may have difficulty in relationships because of their tendency to be reactive and impulsive. They also have difficulty managing multiple tasks and working with others. In certain situations they might suffer from depression or anxiety. They are susceptible to panic attacks and susceptible to hallucinations. Treatments for this type of ADD aren't usually recommended, as they don't address the underlying reason for the symptoms.
