ADHD FAQs

Counselling coverage by Alberta Health Care varies. In some cases, Alberta Health Services offers counselling that is covered by the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan. However, this is not always the case, and often counselling services are not covered. It’s important for individuals seeking counselling services to explore their options, including direct billing through major third-party insurance providers. Contacting the psychology clinic directly can provide more specific information about coverage and billing options. This approach ensures that individuals seeking counselling are well-informed about their options for coverage and payment.

ADHD does not cause social awkwardness, but it can make it more difficult for people to interact with others. Symptoms of ADHD can make it hard to pay attention, follow conversations, and pick up on social cues. This can lead to social awkwardness, but it is not caused by the condition itself. If you are struggling with symptoms of social awkwardness, it is important to seek professional help so that you can receive the treatment and support that you need.

ADHD masking is a term used to describe the tendency of people with ADHD to compensate for their symptoms by consciously or unconsciously changing their behavior. For example, someone with ADHD might try to appear more organized than they actually are, or they may avoid activities that require them to focus for long periods of time. Masking can be helpful in some situations, but it can also be detrimental if it leads to people not getting the help and support they need. If you are struggling with ADHD, it is important to seek professional help so that you can receive the treatment and support that you need.

People with ADHD often cope by accepting that they are different and learning to work with their condition instead of against it. This can mean developing strategies for dealing with distractions, impulsiveness, and hyperactivity, such as breaking tasks down into smaller chunks, writing things down, or using a timer. Some people with ADHD also find that regular exercise helps them to focus and stay on task. Others might need medication to help manage their symptoms. Ultimately, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to coping with ADHD, and what works for one person may not work for another. That’s why it is helpful to work with a professional who can tailor treatment to your individual needs.
