What is ADHD?
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), also referred to as Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), is the most common neurodevelopmental condition affecting 3–5% of children and young people, which often persists into adulthood.
ADHD symptoms include poor attention, hyperactivity and impulsivity, yet, how these symptoms manifest and affect children, adolescents and adults can differ greatly. Importantly, various studies also highlight findings regarding gender differences and age bias in ADHD.
These factors, combined with the frequent presence of other conditions, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) – formerly known as Autism or Asperger’s – dysgraphia, dyspraxia and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), emphasize the need for a comprehensive clinical evaluation and diagnosis.

Deciding between therapy and medication to treat mental health conditions is a common concern. Therapy is a process of exploring and addressing underlying emotional, psychological or behavioral issues with a mental health professional, while medication uses prescription drugs to manage symptoms of mental health conditions. Both approaches have advantages and limitations, and the choice of treatment depends on individual needs and preferences. It's important to consult with a mental health professional to assess your needs and recommend an appropriate course of action. Don't be afraid to ask questions and share your concerns to find the best approach for you.

The length of time it takes to start feeling better and the treatment process itself can vary depending on the individual's needs and the specific mental health condition. It's important to remember that healing is a process, and progress can take time. Some people may begin to feel better after a few sessions of therapy, while others may take longer or may also require medication. Your mental health professional can work with you to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your individual needs and goals. Throughout the process, you can expect a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your emotions, develop coping skills, and work towards your personal wellness goals. Remember to be patient and kind to yourself, and don't hesitate to communicate any concerns or questions you may have.

Dealing with the stigma surrounding mental health can be tough, but it's important to remember that mental health conditions are common and treatable. One way to combat stigma is to speak up and share your experiences with others. Talking about mental health can help break down stereotypes and encourage others to seek help. Additionally, finding a mental health professional you feel comfortable with can make a big difference. Look for a provider who is understanding, supportive, and non-judgmental. Finally, don't be afraid to take care of yourself and prioritize your mental health. Seeking treatment is a brave step and can help you feel better and live a happier, healthier life.
