Can individual therapy help with adhd?
Individual therapy can be a good fit for adhd concerns. Sessions typically focus on understanding what drives the problem, building practical tools for change, and creating a more sustainable path forward. A consultation can help confirm whether the approach matches your goals.
What is ADHD paralysis?
ADHD paralysis is the experience of feeling completely stuck — knowing you need to do something but being unable to start or continue, even when the task matters. It is driven by executive dysfunction rather than unwillingness, and is a common and often frustrating feature of ADHD in adults and teens. Therapy can help identify what triggers it and build practical strategies for getting unstuck.
What is the difference between ADHD paralysis and executive dysfunction?
Executive dysfunction refers broadly to difficulty with planning, organizing, initiating, and following through on tasks. ADHD paralysis is a specific, acute form of executive dysfunction — the complete shutdown that happens when the brain cannot bridge intention and action. Both are common in ADHD and can be directly addressed in therapy.
What are the 7 types of ADHD?
ADHD presentations are typically described as inattentive type, hyperactive-impulsive type, and combined type — the three DSM-defined categories. Some clinicians and researchers describe additional subtypes such as overfocused, temporal disorganization, limbic, and ring of fire ADHD, based on neurological research. Regardless of presentation, therapy focuses on understanding your specific pattern and building strategies that fit your brain.
Can ADHD get worse with age?
ADHD can feel more challenging during life transitions, increased demands, or burnout periods — even if the underlying neurological pattern stays similar. Adults often report that ADHD became harder to manage as external structure decreased (finishing school, entering independent adult life). Therapy can help you build internal systems and reduce the cumulative strain of managing ADHD long-term.
What is ADHD burnout?
ADHD burnout is a state of profound exhaustion that develops after prolonged periods of masking, overextending, or forcing systems that do not fit your brain. Symptoms often include emotional numbness, withdrawal, difficulty completing basic tasks, and a sense of losing the skills you used to have. Recovery involves understanding the burnout cycle, reducing demand where possible, and rebuilding sustainable strategies over time.
