Attention Deficit is subordinated to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, with a predominance of an inattentive pattern and without the presence of impulsivity/hyperactivity difficulties. Thus, it is a Neurodevelopmental Disorder that significantly affects the performance of daily life activities, including in the professional domain.
The assessment of Attention Deficit is carried out through psychological assessment tests, developmental information gathering, and analysis of daily life difficulties. Pharmacological intervention is often one of the most common treatment methods, but sometimes it entails side effects that interfere with the quality of life and well-being, not providing the desired long-term results. However, there are also comorbid clinical conditions such as Anxiety Disorders and emotional difficulties associated with low self-esteem.
At NeuroImprove Clinic, we quantify the brain activity with a Quantitative Electroencephalogram, which objectively indicates whether there are neurological problems or not. Then, we analyze the difficulties. The combination of neurological assessment with psychological assessment will allow us to find the ideal level of activity in each brain region to promote, along with the identification of all areas where there are difficulties.
Subsequently, Neurofeedback training will teach the individual to regain balance in their brain, meaning that it will provide the brain with a more active and focused state while concentrating or performing a task, or more relaxed while resting or sleeping. In turn, Psychology sessions will work on attentional and organizational stimulation strategies, and other areas of difficulty will also be addressed.
