How Do I Know if Psychiatry and Talk Therapy Is Right For Me?
It’s okay to reach out for support, even if you’re still sorting things out. If everyday tasks are getting harder to manage with ADHD, talking with someone can help ease some of the overwhelm.
Psychiatry and talk therapy often work best together, helping you better understand what you’re feeling, where it’s coming from, and how to manage it in ways that feel doable. Some people find relief through therapy alone, like using simple tools to work through their thoughts.
For others, a combination of medication and therapy brings the most relief. Medication can play a helpful role in reducing the intensity of ADHD symptoms, making it easier to get through the day. What matters most is finding what works for you and having support along the way. Here are a few ways we can make this happen:
-
Finding simple ways to stay on track – Talk therapy can help you find helpful tools that will work for you, like breaking big tasks into smaller steps or creating routines.
-
Learning how to manage emotions without feeling overwhelmed – We’ll guide you to understand, manage, and express your full range of emotions in a healthy way.
-
Building effective focus strategies – Whether it’s limiting distractions or finding new ways to stay engaged, we’ll work together to improve your focus and achieve your goals.
What Can ADHD Look Like?
Most of us have moments where we feel distracted or forgetful. But when staying focused feels like a daily battle or tasks consistently slip through the cracks, it might be something more. Stressful situations and uncertain moments can elevate ADHD symptoms, which may show up in physical and psychological ways.
Physical Signs
- Extreme impatience, restlessness, or fidgeting
- Excessive talking and lacking listening skills
- Headaches or light-headedness
Psychological Signs
- Trouble making decisions or following directions
- Hyperfocus or difficulty focusing on everyday tasks
- Frequently forgetting or misplacing objects
