Do you struggle with focus, organization, or impulsivity? You are not lazy or broken. ADHD is a real brain-based condition. Hope Speaks in Richardson, TX provides expert ADHD treatment to help you manage challenges, reduce shame, and build on your unique strengths.
What is ADHD? Understanding Your Brain
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition. It affects your brain's ability to manage attention, impulses, and organization. This can make daily tasks, time management, and relationships feel overwhelming.
We understand the three main presentations of ADHD:
- Inattentive Type: Difficulty with focus, details, and follow-through. Often described as daydreaming or forgetfulness.
- Hyperactive-Impulsive Type: Restlessness, talking excessively, and acting without thinking.
- Combined Type: The most common type, featuring symptoms of both inattention and hyperactivity.
Common Signs of ADHD in Teens and Adults
ADHD looks different for everyone. Common signs include:
- Focus Challenges: Easily distracted, trouble sustaining attention, missing details.
- Organization Struggles: Poor time management, procrastination, messy workspaces.
- Impulsivity: Interrupting others, making quick decisions without thinking.
- Restlessness: Constant fidgeting or feeling internally restless.
- Emotional Impact: Feeling frustrated, ashamed, or overwhelmed by daily life.
If these symptoms affect your work, home, or relationships, effective help is available.
