What is ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder)?
ADHD is a dysregulation of the mind that affects us mentally, physically, and emotionally. When the brain’s chemical activity is not in alignment, it can lead to behavioral changes, restlessness, lack of focus and concentration, and difficulty completing tasks. There are three main subtypes: Inattentive, Hyperactive, and Impulsive. Individuals may experience varying combinations of these symptoms. It's essential to understand that not everyone who shows signs of ADHD has the disorder; misdiagnosis can lead to unnecessary medication.
What causes ADHD?
From my expertise, ADHD is often something you are born with, developing in the womb and frequently passed down through hereditary lines. You may notice that one of your parents or other family members has ADHD. Currently, the scientific community does not fully understand the exact cause. If you did not exhibit signs in childhood, you are less likely to develop ADHD later in life unless you fall into certain categories. While many children may display some signs, it does not necessarily mean they have ADHD. It’s essential to explore other possibilities before seeking an ADHD diagnosis.
The 5 subtypes of ADHD
Inattentive: Difficulty retaining focus and attention for extended periods, struggles with organization and often has unfinished tasks.
Hyperactive: Excessive energy, tends to be overexcited for no clear reason, may struggle with listening skills, and can be accident-prone or disruptive.
Impulsive: Difficulty waiting for their turn, especially in settings like a supermarket queue.
Combined: Displays characteristics of more than one subtype and can be linked to other disorders, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
Other complexities: This may include learning difficulties, speech impairments or delays, hypersensitivity, extrasensory perception, sleep disturbances, and dyslexia.
Signs & symptoms of ADHD
ADHD can often be detected from an early age, but allowing room for personal development and growth can facilitate more accurate diagnoses. Each individual is unique, even if they fall into the same category. Here are some basic signs of self-discovery:
Learning difficulties
Delays in speech and language
Nightmares
Difficulty switching off and falling asleep
Tendency to be night owls
Misplacing items
Forgetfulness
Risk-taking behavior
Anxiety and nervousness
Impatience while waiting for their turn
Variability in introversion and extroversion
Lack of attention to detail
Memory issues
Challenges in making friends in certain environments due to judgment from others and a lack of understanding
12 tips on how to manage ADHD with simple tools and techniques for self-help
Exercise: This is a great way to release neurotransmitters like serotonin, which help with attention, mood improvement, and sleep. Dopamine also supports movement, memory, and pleasure, keeping the mind, body, and spirit balanced.
Meditation: This practice helps remove negative energies from the mind and body, keeping your energies grounded and balanced.
Positive affirmations: Use daily positive affirmations to maintain a positive attitude.
Laughter therapy: Laughter can improve your mood by releasing endorphins, which can help on tough days.
Journaling: Writing down notes during meditation can be useful later, helping you express and release negative thoughts and feelings.
Discipline: Implementing discipline when it’s time to leave an event or situation can help you stay in control. If your body is prompted, your mind will follow.
Boundaries: Establishing boundaries protects and keeps you safe. Be assertive and follow through with actions.
Healthy eating: A balanced diet nourishes your body and mind. Stay hydrated, consume fruits and vegetables daily, and consider fish as a beneficial food source for ADHD.
Adequate sleep: Prioritize sleep to facilitate natural healing. Wind down by avoiding food after 8 PM, and consider meditating or reading a book 45 minutes before bed.
Sanctuary room & self-love: Create a calming space to relax, reevaluate your life’s path, and make necessary changes. Take care of yourself as your number one priority.
Structure & routine: Use a plan board to stick to daily routines, allowing your mind, body, and spirit to adjust with minimal effort.
Vision for goals: Start small and create a vision board to track your goals and aspirations, helping you stay focused on what you want to achieve in life.
Embrace these strategies and take steps toward effectively managing ADHD naturally!
