We've
all had those horrible moments in our lives when everything
seems out of control.
We can't
concentrate.
We can't finish one task before another
crops up. And forget about getting anywhere on time.
For children and adults with Attention Deficit Disorders,
it is more than just moments. Every day feels chaotic.
Often, they're not sure why they have so many problems
with school, work or relationships.
They have a nagging suspicion something's wrong, but
they can't put a name to it. What they do know is that
they suffer from frequent, painful failures. Medical
and Psychiatric associations estimate that three and
half million children and two to three million adults
have this disorder.
Key characteristics
for Children are:
- Inattention-trouble sustaining focus.
- Impulsivity-acting before thinking.
- Hyperactivity-fidgety, restless, overly talkative.
- Childhood symptoms can continue into adulthood.
Key characteristics
in Adults are:
- Inability to manage time.
- Difficulty communicating.
- Uneven job performance.
- Problems with close relationships.
- Feeling unfocused and disorganized.
Of course, we all have these
difficulties from time to time, but for those with ADD,
it can turn into a lifetime of unfulfilled dreams.
If you suspect you have ADD,
talk to us.
We'll explain how the ADD Resource and Treatment Center
offers integrated, comprehensive care for the full range
of disorders associated with ADD and ADHD (Attention
Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). Hyperactivity
describes people who tend to he restless, fidgety, excessively
talkative and seemingly as if they're driven by a motor.
This
is an exciting time to seek treatment for ADD. Today,
there's a lot more attention being paid to inattention.
There's more interest, research and expertise.
But finding the right kind of integrated and comprehensive
help isn't easy.

I am available to enthusiastically support clients
with issues of ADD and ADHD through coaching and/or therapy.
