What to Know About Online ADHD Treatment in Utah
It seems like more and more people are finding out they have ADHD. One of the pros of social media is that it provides information that you may have not considered otherwise. Although you have to be careful when there is so much misinformation out there especially when it comes to mental health. I have noticed that people are using social media to recognize that they might have symptoms of ADHD when other people share their experiences.
Learning that you have ADHD can change your whole view of yourself and the world. Knowing you have ADHD and getting treatment for it can be a huge relief. Things can become better for you by getting help for what you struggle with. It’s important to know how your brain works and how to cope with it. Online ADHD treatment makes therapy accessible to you wherever you are in the state of Utah.
What is online ADHD treatment?
Online ADHD treatment involves meeting with an ADHD therapist through a HIPAA-compliant video platform on a weekly basis. Online ADHD treatment focuses on helping you manage your ADHD symptoms so they are much more manageable. The goal of Online ADHD treatment is to offer convenience and accessibility to a therapist who specializes in ADHD without you having to travel or worry about juggling time to make it work better for you. Online ADHD counseling is just as effective as in-person but makes it easier for you to attend consistently. When you are attending therapy consistently more you are able to make progress.
Why should I use online ADHD treatment?
Many people report that online ADHD treatment makes they are more likely to reach out for help with their ADHD. It gets rid of the barrier of driving to and from an appointment and trying to shift your schedule in ways to manage this. My clients have shared that online ADHD treatment makes it so they can attend a therapy appointment on their lunch break or in between glasses. I think you deserve to get help for your ADHD and to be able to realize you’re not stupid, and you can learn to cope with your symptoms better.
How do I know if I have ADHD?
You might notice that you have symptoms of ADHD and wonder if you have a diagnosis. If you want a formal diagnosis you would want to get the help of a qualified mental health professional. I recommend my clients see a psychiatrist who has specialized training in testing for ADHD. They are able to also help you understand specifics about your personal experience with ADHD based on your testing.
Can you diagnose me with ADHD?
As a licensed therapist, I can give you a loose diagnosis of ADHD but I always recommend my clients see a psychiatrist and do the formal testing for ADHD. At times trauma can manifest itself in ADHD symptoms, and it can be challenging to tease out what is really ADHD. Doing the formal testing from a psychiatrist can help you have the data to back up that you have ADHD, and this can allow us to know how to proceed.
Will you put me on medication for ADHD?
As a therapist, I don’t have the power to prescribe medication. You would have to see a psychiatrist or other medical provider. I don’t necessarily encourage my clients to seek medication if they are against it. My job is to work with whatever you want to focus on. Medication makes a huge difference for some people, and others just aren’t interested in it. This isn’t my decision to make, and I want to provide you with information about making that decision so you can best equip yourself with the knowledge you need.
