After an ADHD Diagnosis
After an ADHD diagnosis, it's important to receive comprehensive support to help you manage the condition effectively. ADHD can affect many aspects of life, including work, school, relationships, and personal well-being. Post-diagnostic support often includes a combination of education, strategies, treatment options, and ongoing follow-up care, which is personalised for each client.
​
Often treatment packages included and are handpicked with the client and family in mind:
Education about ADHD
After a diagnosis it’s essential to understand ADHD—how it affects your brain and behaviour, the different types (e.g., inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, combined), and how it may impact daily life. This knowledge can help reduce feelings of confusion or frustration.
Psychotherapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can help individuals with ADHD develop coping strategies, improve executive functioning (such as planning and organization), and manage emotional regulation. Coaching and therapy focused on ADHD are particularly helpful.
Behavioural Strategies
These include techniques like breaking tasks into smaller steps, using reminders, and creating structured routines to improve organization and reduce distractions.
Exercise and Diet
Regular physical activity has been shown to improve focus and reduce hyperactivity and impulsivity in people with ADHD. A balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and complex carbohydrates may support cognitive function.
Sleep Hygiene
Good sleep is crucial for managing ADHD symptoms. Establish a consistent sleep schedule and create a calming bedtime routine to improve sleep quality.
Mindfulness and Stress Management
Techniques like mindfulness meditation, deep breathing, and yoga can help manage stress and improve attention and emotional regulation.
Medication
Stimulant medications (e.g., methylphenidate, amphetamines) are commonly prescribed to help manage ADHD symptoms. Non-stimulant options are available as well (e.g., atomoxetine, guanfacine).
If you’re feeling overwhelmed after the diagnosis, take one step at a time and seek help when needed. There’s a lot of support available, and the more you learn and advocate for yourself, the better equipped you’ll be to navigate life with ADHD.
