ADHD gets a reputation for causing you to become distracted because you're full of energy, and many think it's a child's disorder. However, the symptoms extend beyond that, and this condition can be found in adults, with it often going undiagnosed during childhood. Fortunately, at Healing Self Wellness, our licensed clinical social worker, Sable Sanders, offers treatment that adults with ADHD in Illinois and Texas can access online from the comfort of their own homes.
Signs of ADHD
In adults, ADHD may contribute to any of the following:
Having poor time management skills
Being disorganized
Engaging in impulsive behaviors
Experiencing forgetfulness regularly
Being unmotivated
Having poor relationships with others
Identifying the Problem
You’ll need to be diagnosed with ADHD by a licensed provider elsewhere, but Sable can help you determine whether it could be helpful to get screened. For this, she will ask you a series of questions to gauge where any struggles lie.
Even if you don't clinically have ADHD, Sable can still help you develop better executive functioning skills.
Getting the Problem Treated
ADHD affects everything from your work to how well you maintain relationships with others. Fortunately, through ADHD therapy, it's possible to manage the symptoms so ADHD has as little negative impact on your life as possible.
To treat ADHD in adults, Sable can help you develop organizational and time management skills. Therapy may include practice setting goals, boosting confidence, and learning to communicate effectively with others while maintaining composure.
Additionally, therapy could also include addressing any co-occurring disorders that could impact your condition and you in general, such as anxiety or depression.
If time restraints or nervousness are an issue, rest assured you can receive the treatment you need online as long as you can maintain privacy in your surroundings. You merely log on to the session, and Sable will be on the other end.
