“Let it go.” “Move on.” “Stop thinking about it.”

For someone with Overfocused ADHD, shifting attention may be one of the hardest things to do.

After analyzing over 300,000 brain scans, Dr. Amen and Amen Clinics have identified 7 ADHD patterns, each associated with different symptoms and patterns of brain activity.

Type 3: Overfocused ADHD can involve getting stuck on thoughts, excessive worrying, difficulty seeing other options, inflexible thinking, obsessive tendencies, holding grudges, and impulsivity.

According to Amen Clinics, SPECT imaging in this pattern can show increased activity in the anterior cingulate, an area it describes as the brain’s “gear shifter,” along with decreased activity during concentration in other attention-related regions. 

That creates an interesting paradox: ADHD isn’t always an inability to focus. Sometimes the challenge is shifting where that focus goes.
Understanding the individual pattern is one reason Amen Clinics takes a personalized approach to ADHD treatment.

If you’re seeking evaluation or treatment for ADHD, Amen Clinics has 11 clinic locations across the U.S. and 60+ clinicians on staff. Visit AmenClinics.com or click the link in bio.
