At one time or another, everyone struggles with feeling motivated, confident, organized, coping; dealing with change, self-image; relationships, boundaries, parenting, or our careers. Some deal with ADHD and keeping their lives on track. Many want to feel encouraged and supported. It is nice to have a positive person to listen and talk through their difficulties. They want someone to see and find their strengths, gifts and uniqueness. They want to feel empowered, hopeful that things can change for the better, calm, strong, and successful in dealing with the difficulties they face. Nothing stays the same and things do change!

Have you ever felt helpless, lost, or confused as a parent? Felt overwhelmed by the daily decisions we face as parents compounded by the number of differing opinions on how to be a good parent? Alongside the intense love a parent feels for their child can also come worry, fear, and a deep desire to do everything that we can to nurture their development. Watching your child struggle at school, be rejected by friends, hurt themselves, or explode with anger can feel like an open wound that will not heal. A journey this important should not be undertaken alone.

Narcissistic Emotional Abuse - Nothing makes sense anymore. Two plus two no longer equals four. I search, find nothing. I feel like I'm going 'crazy.' "You're imagining things! I might as well be doing it as you're always blaming me for something." BUT YET, I know they are doing the very thing they say they're not doing and I keep second guessing myself. I want a simple life, yet nothing is simple anymore. Everything is just plain CRAZINESS. If you can relate to any of these situations, you most likely are involved with a narcissist, are being emotionally abused and need help. Are you feeling hopeless, worthless, lost and confused?

ADHD Therapists

When should I seek treatment for ADHD?

You should seek treatment for ADHD if you consistently have difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that interferes with your daily life. Symptoms of ADHD include the inability to sustain attention during tasks, difficulty organizing tasks and activities, being easily distracted, frequent fidgeting or squirming, and talking or interrupting excessively. If these symptoms interfere with your career, academics, or relationships—for example, consistently failing to complete professional projects on time—you should seek an evaluation for ADHD.

How does treatment for ADHD work?

Effective treatment for ADHD often consists of medication, behavioral therapy, and lifestyle changes. Stimulant medications such as Adderall and Ritalin work by altering levels of neurotransmitters in the brain; higher levels of dopamine and norepinephrine are known to improve attention and focus. Therapy works by helping people with ADHD understand the condition, discuss their areas of difficulty, and develop behavioral strategies to manage their symptoms. In some cases, modifying one’s diet and exercise can also help improve symptoms.

Are there specific medications for ADHD?

Medications to treat ADHD are generally stimulants, the most common are Adderall and Ritalin. There are two categories of stimulants: Amphetamines include Adderall, Dyanavel, Vyvanse, and Dexedrine, and methylphenidates include Ritalin, Concerta, Daytrana, Focalin, Quillichew, Quillivant, and Metadate. Non-stimulants and antidepressants may be used as an alternative if stimulants aren’t effective or viable for a particular patient.

How long does treatment for ADHD take?

It’s tough to give an exact time frame because everyone varies. In terms of medications, stimulants begin to work very soon after you take them, generally within the hour. It may take time to identify the right medication and dosage, but the medication itself is fast-acting. In terms of therapy, it takes time to develop skills and put them into practice, but you will likely see improvements within a few weeks or months.
