It can however persist during an individual\u2019s teenage years and even affect them throughout their adult years. Thankfully, someone suffering from ADHD can rely on a variety of approaches and methods to reduce the disorder\u2019s negative effects on their life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Who is affected by ADHD and what are the symptoms?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In Quebec, 3 to 5% of children are affected by ADHD and boys are three times more likely to be diagnosed, according to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.douglas.qc.ca\/info\/trouble-deficit-attention\">Douglas university institute<\/a> for mental health. Approximately 40 to 70% of children with ADHD continue to be affected by the disorder during their teenage years and about half of them will be affected as an adult.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Whether in an adult or a child, ADHD can present various symptoms which are grouped into three main categories. They are: inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. An individual with ADD (without hyperactivity) will generally have a harder time concentrating or seeing a task through to its end. When hyperactivity (ADHD) comes into play, this disorder can also include difficulties carrying out specific tasks or meeting objectives.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Although ADHD is often noticed and diagnosed in an academic or professional environment, this issue can affect every aspect of a person\u2019s life. A child with ADHD may have low self-esteem when he notices he\u2019s different because he doesn\u2019t progress as \u201cnormally\u201d as other kids do. For their part, adults with ADHD are more likely to have problems in relationships with other people, which can negatively impact their love life or career.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>People affected by ADHD must often take medication to reduce their symptoms but more and more patients are turning towards new approaches.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>ADHD and occupational therapy<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>An occupational therapist is a health professional with the necessary training to support and advise someone on how to carry out daily tasks in order to be more autonomous. They will assess an individual\u2019s physical and mental limits to ascertain how the disorder affects their daily life. The occupational therapist will then provide them with the necessary tools to minimize these negative impacts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>By taking into account the individual\u2019s environmental factors, an occupational therapist can provide ways to improve their concentration at school or work. In fact, this professional can help their client organize their environment and workspace in order to limit distractions in their surroundings. They will also help the client manage their time in a more efficient way in order to meet specific goals. This in turn can help them fulfill their professional and personal ambitions. The goal: to be able to be as productive as possible!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>ADHD &amp; massage therapy<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Studies have shown the benefits of massage therapy for those affected by ADHD. In fact, regular massages provided by a professional can help reduce hyperactivity, improve the ability to focus, improve mood, and reduce anxiety often affecting individuals with ADHD. Regular massages will also greatly improve a person\u2019s quality of sleep.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>ADHD &amp; exercise<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Recent studies have also have shown that regular exercise can have a beneficial effect on concentration and hyperactivity for those with ADHD. People who regularly exercise also see their stress and anxiety levels reduced.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Clinique GO\u2122 offers health services that greatly improve the quality of life of people with ADHD, no matter their age.
