Attention Deficit Disorders (ADHD)

 

Attention deficit hyperactivity  disorder has 3 types:

- Predominately Inattentive

-Predominately Hyperactive/ Impulsive

- Combined Features

ADHD is one of the most common behavioral disorders diagnosed in children today.  Many adults are also recognizing symptoms and being diagnosed in adulthood.

Individuals with attention deficit disorders often:

- have difficulty paying attention

- often squirm or fidget

- show lack of impulse control

- show heightened levels of distractibility

- often do not finish tasks

- in some cases individuals may experience hyperfocus and experience the opposite effects of distractibility. 

 

Biofeedback has been shown to greatly improve and reduce symptoms of ADHD in children, teens and adults.  Most individuals show a reduction in stress and an improvement in impulse control.  Treating ADHD with biofeedback allows individuals to have more successful experiences at home at work and in the classroom.  Biofeedback teaches self-regulation and cultivates better relationships, academic and work performance.  Biofeedback allows individuals to view and manipulate physiological responses such as heart rate, skin temperature, skin conductance (sweat) and muscle tension, in order to improve the relationship between the brain, nervous system, and heart.
