What is ADHD?

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a behavioral health condition that makes it hard to focus and complete tasks. It can also drive you to behave impulsively or have trouble sitting still for extended periods of time.

ADHD can impact all facets of your life, including work, school, and your interpersonal relationships. Midwest Wellness and Wound Care Associates aims to help you manage your symptoms effectively so you can be more focused and productive.

There is no comprehensive test for ADHD, so Midwest Wellness and Wound Care Associates follows a symptoms checklist. They also perform hearing and vision tests along with a medical exam to rule out other possible causes of the symptoms you experience. 

Which type of ADHD do I have?

There are three types of ADHD with different symptom groupings:

Predominantly inattentive ADHD

Predominantly inattentive ADHD makes it difficult for you to stay organized or on track with tasks, chores, and assignments. You might find yourself being easily distracted or struggling to focus during conversations. 

Predominantly hyperactive-impulsive ADHD

Predominantly hyperactive-impulsive ADHD makes it hard for you to sit still. Symptoms include frequent interrupting and lots of fidgeting and talking. You may also have a tendency toward impulsiveness. 

Combined type ADHD

If you have combined type ADHD, you have symptoms of both other categories.

How can I manage my ADHD?

Midwest Wellness and Wound Care helps you manage your ADHD to reduce the behaviors that have negative impacts on your day-to-day life. 

A typical behavioral health plan for ADHD involves medications and therapy. Stimulant medications and nonstimulant medications can both be effective in regulating your brain chemicals so you have more control over your behaviors. 

The team at Midwest Wellness and Wound Care prescribes medication and evaluates you for progress and any unwanted side effects. At any time, they can change your medication or adjust the dosage.

During behavioral therapy for ADHD, a therapist works with you to learn to regulate your own thoughts and behaviors. In addition to therapy and medication, Midwest Wellness and Wound Care may recommend healthy lifestyle changes like sticking to a consistent schedule and following a well-rounded diet. 

Adults seeking structured ADHD support can schedule an evaluation in the Phoenix area or connect virtually from anywhere in Arizona.

An ADHD treatment plan helps you regulate behaviors that have a negative impact on your productivity, focus, and performance at school or work. To schedule an evaluation, call Midwest Wellness and Wound Care or book online today.
