ADHD-focused neurofeedback care in Petaluma, CA

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental conditions, affecting approximately 7 million children and 15.5 million adults in the United States. ADHD in children often presents as persistent difficulties with attention, impulsivity, hyperactivity, organization, and following directions, which can interfere with success at school, home, and with peers.

As children enter adolescence, hyperactivity often decreases, while challenges with focus, time management, planning, and emotional regulation become more noticeable. Teens may also struggle with self-esteem, academic performance, and relationships as life's demands become more complex. In adults, ADHD commonly appears as distractibility, procrastination, forgetfulness, disorganization, and difficulty managing daily responsibilities. Many adults also experience challenges with emotional regulation, stress, work performance, and maintaining relationships. ADHD frequently occurs alongside anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, or learning differences. Fortunately, ADHD responds well to neurofeedback, which strengthens regions of the brain found to be underactive when ADHD is present.
