ADHD Medication
Any ADHD medication is tailored to your exact requirements. Other treatment methods for ADHD include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), psycho-education, family and couple therapy. ADHD medication can help someone who has ADHD to concentrate better, be less impulsive, feel calmer and learn and practise new skills. ADHD medication that is available in New Zealand includes methylphenidate, dexamphetamine, and atomoxetine.
Undiagnosed and untreated, ADHD can have a detrimental effect on both physical and mental health, career and financial difficulties and relationship problems. Some self-help techniques such as exercising vigorously and regularly, sleeping well and creating an organised environment can be helpful. However, if you are unable to manage the symptoms of ADHD, it may be time to seek professional help.
What is ADHD?
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a group of behavioural symptoms that includes inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsivity. Common symptoms of ADHD are a short attention span or being easily distracted, restlessness, constant fidgeting or overactivity and being impulsive. Individuals suffering from ADHD might have additional problems such as difficulties sleeping and anxiety disorders.
ADHD treatment
Whilst ADHD is most often diagnosed in children, adults can also suffer from it. If you suffer from the disorder this is likely to significantly affect your concentration, organisation of tasks, ability to stay focused and work towards a long term goal and emotional regulation.
Our psychiatrists can diagnose this condition and will work with you to develop an ADHD treatment plan for managing it.
