Tackling concentration problems

-

Our Psychologist Practice specialises in the examination and treatment of concentration problems and ADHD. Your concentration problems may have a very different cause than ADHD.

ADD and ADHD: a more correct description.

With ADD or ADHD, you think of hyperactivity, concentration problems and

impulsiveness. But it is more complicated than this. Getting a correct diagnosis

is often difficult. Yet in ADHD, this is important. Even adults

have sometimes suffered with ADHD their whole life, without this having been correctly

estimated and dealt with as a child. Your doctor may conduct a physical examination

perform, and a clinical psychologist the psychological examination.

Causes Of concentration problems

Perhaps you have problems focusing or concentrating because of a burn-out, or you can't keep your thoughts straight because of relationship problems, or you're worried about your children, or because a depression is lurking behind your concentration problems? People with an addiction to alcohol or pills, for example, also often suffer from poor concentration.

Concentration and other problems

Concentration problems often go hand in hand with depression, relationship problems, anxiety attacks, burnout. Often, a concentration disorder disappears when this underlying problem is treated with psychotherapy. But conversely, ADHD is often diagnosed as depression, burnout, C.V.S., manic depressive or borderline. So it is very important to get the right diagnosis so that the right treatment can be applied. Finally, ADHD or ADD (i.e. inattentive type ADHD) may also be at the root of severe concentration disorders.
