ADHD, or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, isn’t just a childhood concern. It’s a condition that impacts both children and adults. ADHD is characterized by difficulty with executive functioning and regulating emotions, inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. While it can’t be cured, proper management of the right strategies and therapies, symptoms can be effectively managed improving daily functioning.

At RD Psychotherapy, we recognize that ADHD isn’t merely about difficulty focusing or sitting still. It affects various aspects of life, from academics and social interactions to work and family dynamics. Unmanaged ADHD can lead to challenges such as struggling at school, family stress, depression, relationship issues, substance abuse, and more.

ADHD can manifest in various ways, with symptoms falling into three presentations:

ADHD therapy offers a structured approach to managing symptoms, enhancing coping skills, and improving overall functioning. It includes education, skills training, and psychological counseling. Our registered Social Worker/ Psychotherapist can guide individuals and families in understanding ADHD, creating coping strategies, and guiding them through a comprehensive treatment plan.

Psychotherapy options for ADHD may include behaviour therapy, school support, and strategies for parents and individuals to manage symptoms effectively.

At RD Psychotherapy, we emphasize a comprehensive approach to managing ADHD as it can often coexist with other conditions like anxiety, depression, or learning disabilities. We believe that by addressing behavioural, emotional, and organizational aspects, individuals can improve their focus, enhance their coping mechanisms, and lead fulfilling lives.
