After children have been diagnosed with ADHD, the next question parents typically ask is “What do we do to help our child?” Many parents ask about medication, what the school can do, if the child can outgrow or learn strategies to help, and if parents can do things to help. All of these approaches are appropriate components of a treatment plan for ADHD, as successful treatment of ADHD tends to be multi-faceted.
ADHD can be found in adults, who can find it difficult to perform routines. It can great affect daily life, when there is a lack of ability to focus, prioritize and control impulses. There may be consequences that the patient is concerned about, such as missing deadlines, forgetting social plans or having mood swing outbursts. At RMPS, we use a Biopsychosocial approach to treatment, which looks at the connection between biology, psychology, and socio-environmental factors.
The consequences of living with undiagnosed ADHD can be profound. Many women and girls face challenges in academic settings, workplaces, and relationships. They may experience:
Academic Struggles: Poor time management and difficulties with organization can lead to lower grades or incomplete tasks.
Career Challenges: In the workplace, women may feel overwhelmed by responsibilities, struggle to meet deadlines, or find it hard to prioritize tasks.
Social Difficulties: Relationships can suffer as symptoms lead to misunderstandings or perceived irresponsibility.
Many women and girls have found ways to thrive despite their challenges. Strategies like mindfulness, therapy, neurofeedback, medication, and support groups can make a significant difference. So, if you or someone you know is struggling with ADHD, RMPS offers in-person or virtual services (if applicable). Contact us at 403-245-5981 or intake@rmpsychservices.com to find out more information or to book your appointments.
