ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) are
neurological conditions which affect learning and behavior. Symptoms may include
attention deficits, impulsivity, hyperactivity, mood swings, low frustration tolerance
and difficulty falling asleep. Some characteristics of ADD include:
being easily distracted difficulty concentrating with background noise or other people around getting tired or overloaded easily difficulty focusing attention inability to do two things at once exhibiting unpredictable behavior impatience, irritability difficulty initiating and completing tasks disorganization depression
It is important to remember that not everyone has every symptom, but if you feel that many
of these traits describe you, you may want to schedule a screening appointment with me. We
also have a number of useful articles and handouts on ADD/ADHD in our Resource Collection.
