Recognising the Symptoms of ADHD

Knowing the common signs can help you decide if treatment for ADHD in children is the right choice. Children with ADHD are likely to exhibit difficulty maintaining attention, be hyperactive, and struggle to manage their impulsivity. If this is a recurring problem, it might be worth exploring available ADHD treatment options for children in your area.  

The Different Types of ADHD

There is no single type of ADHD. The appropriate treatment for children with ADHD will depend entirely on how their brain development has been impacted. Each one encompasses different challenges.

High Theta/Beta Ratio – This ADHD profile is the most documented. It occurs when the ratio between the Theta and Beta brainwaves is not as it should be. Theta is also referred to as slow-wave activity, and Beta is fast-wave activity. A High Theta/Beta Ratio means there is excessive Theta and reduced Beta, causing a decline in cognitive processing that makes a person struggle when it comes to focusing, retaining information, and responding to tasks.

Frontal Spindling Beta Overactivity – Sometimes, children experience excessive activity in their beta frequency range. This occurs in the frontal area of the brain, which is the area responsible for decision-making and regulating our emotions. When someone is dealing with this profile, they will likely appear sluggish while their mind is racing. When someone is impacted by Frontal Spindling Beta Overactivity, they can be easily distracted by everything around them and experience frequent overthinking. Our ADHD therapy in NSW can help children feel more in control.

Early Life Trauma and Slow-Wave Excess – When a child experiences trauma, they may encounter attention difficulties later in life. Early-life complications, hypoxia, fevers, and other conditions can directly impact their neurological development, resulting in slow-wave activity. ADHD treatment for children with this specific condition can enhance their cognitive speed and alertness.

Central Slowing and Executive Function Deficits – This is usually identified by the ability to process and carry out tasks effectively. It is caused by a centralised slowing of brain waves. It can be associated with a head injury but is also a very common form of inattention-based ADHD. If your child struggles to follow multi-step instructions, manage their time efficiently, and complete tasks on their own, it may be worth looking into treatment for ADHD in children.

Persistent Mu Rhythm and Social Processing Challenges – This ADHD profile is associated with autism. Mu rhythm is a central rhythm of alpha-activity frequency that occurs during wakefulness. It is associated with movement and social processing. When mirror neurons are not engaged, it can create difficulties with social interaction, emotional processing, and nonverbal communication. Sometimes, it can be misdiagnosed as ADHD when the issue is related to social cognition instead. This is why a comprehensive ADHD clinic is essential.

Fast Alpha Peak Frequency – This profile is often related to students who aren’t performing well in school but are actually highly gifted. It is essential to realise that some children with ADHD don’t struggle with their attention span at all. These children tend to process information far too quickly. A common occurrence in those struggling with Fast Alpha Peak Frequency is becoming bored, disinterested, or frustrated with slow-paced environments, especially if it is an educational setting. These children will likely struggle to settle into a formal learning environment, even if they are incredibly intelligent and beyond capable. With the right ADHD treatment for children, they will be able to discover their preferred way of learning, allowing them to thrive in a setting that aligns with their needs.

At our ADHD clinic, we develop a tailored treatment for every child’s needs. Using clinical findings; our team is able to create a customised plan to give you and your child the best possible results.

Sometimes, we use guided relaxation techniques known as narcoanalysis, which helps to explore subconscious patterns often associated with trauma. In other cases, we may use neurostimulation, which is a gentle, non-invasive technology that helps regulate brainwave activity.

Using state-of-the-art QEEG brain mapping, we can scan and monitor the electrical activity inside the brain and identify all abnormalities, helping us narrow down the type of ADHD we are dealing with. If you are in need of treatment for ADHD in children, we are the perfect place to start.

How Our Treatment Works

When providing ADHD treatment for children, we always begin with a comprehensive consultation, leaving no stone unturned. This part is crucial to ensure the child receives the right treatment plan. QEEG assessments will help us develop a map of the brainwaves and identify imbalances that contribute to ADHD. Then, we develop a tailored treatment using our findings. With our support, guidance, and ongoing monitoring, your child won’t be impaired by their cognitive differences.

The Benefits of Proper ADHD Treatment

When ADHD is properly diagnosed and a personalised treatment plan is developed, your child will experience a plethora of benefits. They may experience improved attention span, controlled impulsivity, reduced hyperactivity, better-regulated emotions, enhanced social skills, and greater self-esteem. Early intervention is essential to giving our children the best possible start. So, get in touch and explore our ADHD treatment options for children. With the proper treatment, your child will be far better equipped to move forward with all aspects of their life. At our clinic, we want patients to flourish academically, socially, and emotionally.
