ADD/ADHD

ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and ADHD-like symptoms can range from mild to overwhelming and can differ from person to person. ADHD is typically considered a diagnosis given to children but can it can evolve throughout one’s life without treatment. Without treatment, symptoms may evolve into different issues negatively impacting an individual’s personal and professional life such as setting goals, managing time, being organized and maintaining a job.

Symptoms of ADHD can include:

• Forgetfulness
• Challenges with listening and retaining information
• Struggles with homework or listening in class
• Struggles with sitting still for periods of time
• Decreased ability to finish tasks

Children with ADHD may struggle troubled relationships, low self-esteem and poor school performance but should not be classified as having ADHD just because they’re different from their siblings or friends. Children who are experiencing problems at school but get along well at home or with their friends may be struggling with something other than ADHD. The same is true for those who may be struggling at home while their schoolwork and friendships remain unaffected.

At Apex Counseling Services, we have professional counselors and therapists who are eager to help those suffering with ADHD-like symptoms. We believe individuals with ADHD can function at high levels and experience great success in their work and relationships. Call us today at (614) 751-1090 or visit the links below to learn more.

Anger Management

Anger is an issue that many adults and children struggle with. Whether its a child struggling with classmates at school or a quick temper toward a co-worker or spouse, anger management can be a challenging task. Managing anger doesn’t try to keep you from feeling anger or encourage you to hold it in. Feeling anger is a normal, healthy emotion when you know how to express it appropriately. When you do, not only will you feel better, but you’ll also be more likely to get your needs met, be better able to manage conflict in your life, and strengthen your relationships. You may learn strategies to manage anger on your own through books or other resources, but for many, taking an anger management class or seeing a mental health professional is the most effective approach.

Whether you’ve experienced a one-time incident or a pattern of losing control, we are here to listen, support, and help you move forward. You can call us today at (614) 751-1090 or visit the links below to learn more.

Anger Management

Anxiety and depression disorders are different, but people with depression often experience symptoms similar to those of an anxiety disorder. There is no evidence one disorder causes the other, as each disorder has its own causes and symptoms, but there is evidence that many people suffer from both disorders.
