Children and adults who struggle with ADHD experience difficulties both at work and at school.  They find it very difficult to succeed, because their brains will not allow them to focus.  In fact, for many with these disorders the harder they try to concentrate the more their brains relax and become unfocused.  Adult ADHD may look different than a childhood or teenage ADHD, but still can cause significant difficulty.  Parenting a child with ADHD can be frustrating.  We work with parents and families in Virginia Beach to develop practical strategies that encourage success at home, at school, and with peers.  You might find our popular blog series on ADHD Tips for Parents helpful.

Social difficulties are also very common for people with ADHD.  The stress that results from social isolation and conflict can also cause a significant amount of anxiety in some individuals.

ADHD be successfully treated.  There are even non-medication alternatives that many people in our practice find very helpful in reducing symptoms.  Many families find that neurofeedback is a useful tool to complement other strategies for managing ADHD symptoms.  Neurofeedback helps calm the brain, improving concentration, focus, and reducing hyperactivity.  by Nikki Schwartz
