Symbtoms and Stratigies for ADD/ADHD




The common symptoms of adhd  include restlessness, irritable. That specially happens when the prefrontal cortex is impaired. An interesting thing is that when an important event occurs the prefrontal cortex will pop on and awaken. Arguments and conflicts will do the same. People with ADHD often become conflict driven. ADD people fight for no reason at all, but the fights do them some good for a short period of time by actually helping their brain function in a much better way.

All these problems in ADHD people can lead to social difficulties and can end in ostracism. Their judgment is impaired and they will do things and say things that will confuse other people. This leads to isolation and a feeling of failure which in low or lack of self-esteem. In the past the social and self esteem problems with ADD/ADHD have been ignored in the past and I think they are as important as the other people who do not have the disease. These people have career problems due to ADD, so these people are important too.

Help is now available with the stimulants or ADHD-care which is effective. ADHD-care is known as the traditional and natural supplement at the Amen clinic, by SPECT brain imaging and the Conner’s ADHD impulsivity test.  The condition of severe self-esteem and social problems are not to be ignored or the results will be severe.


Other strategies can be shopping lists and lists of daily responsibilities, a calendar of important dates, routine to simplify housework as much as possible, planning projects and outlining in advance. The non ADHD partner is supposed to take responsibility of any financial or legal problems that occur and should make sure that any resentment does not arise. Reminders should be set on the computers or cellphones so tasks that need to be done can be done.

The relationship problems might not even be there if the ADHD partner has everything under control. Medicines are available for that and are discussed on the websites. But drugs might be insufficient. There is only so much medication can do so it may be a good idea to speak to a psychologist experienced in attention deficit disorder. Counseling or cognitive behavioral therapy are useful for some sufferers.

Other helpful techniques can be group therapy, family therapy, coaching, tutoring, physical exercise, proper rest, and adequate nutrition.  ADHD and partner-focused peer support groups can also help. Marriage counseling can also be used to resolve issues that arise in a relationship due to ADHD.
