Another example of the need for expertise in making an accurate diagnosis is that of ADHD.

Inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity are behaviors of ADHD and other conditions as well. In fact, the symptoms of one disorder, like ADHD, often co-exist with symptoms of another, such as anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, Tourette's syndrome, or conduct disorders, among others.
This raises some questions
1. How do you know what the underlying problem is?

As qualified Biofeedback therapists, Smarter Way Professionals use the following checklist to make accurate diagnoses. From start to finish, this Initial Evaluation takes approximately 90 minutes.
Sometimes, physicians and mental health professionals are not sure what is causing their patient’s symptoms. The advantage of Biofeedback Therapy is that it takes a truly holistic approach. It recognizes that everything in your body and mind is connected. For example, biofeedback monitoring may indicate that a person’s fingertips are cold. This single measurement is interconnected with many of the other aspects of stress.
This means that a lot of other dysregulated activities are going on at the same time. These include
- Muscles are tense in neck, shoulders, arms, legs
- Toes are cold
- Fingers are cold
- Heart rate increases
- Blood pressure is elevated
- Digestive track slows down
- Immune system is less effective
When talking with your physician or mental health professional about your options, consider Biofeedback Therapy. Licensed health professionals who are Senior Fellows of the Biofeedback Certification Institute of America (Sr. Fellow-BCIA) have the education and the experience to make accurate diagnoses and work with a wide range of conditions.
