Défice de Atenção em Adultos
Para os que releem o mesmo parágrafo três vezes e mesmo assim não retêm nada... Ajudamos a reconquistar o foco no trabalho e na vida!
O que é o Défice de Atenção?
O Défice de Atenção é uma condição neurológica que compromete a capacidade de manter o foco, filtrar distrações e concluir tarefas. No adulto, o impacto sente-se em reler o mesmo email três vezes sem reter nada, perder o fio a uma conversa a meio ou adiar tarefas importantes porque começar parece impossível.
O efeito acumula-se no trabalho, nas relações e na autoestima, sobretudo quando há anos que se culpa por ser "desorganizado" sem perceber porquê.
O Défice de Atenção está frequentemente associado ao diagnóstico de PHDA, mas pode surgir de forma isolada. Em qualquer caso, tem solução e resposta clínica.
Main types of Anxiety Disorder
The manifestation of Anxiety may be slightly different when we talk about children and adolescents:
das crianças e dos adolescentes:
Types of Anxiety Disorder in Children
em Crianças
- Separation anxiety: intense fear of moving away from parents; it can arise as school refusal.
- Selective Mutism:speaks normally at home, but blocks in other contexts (school, consultations).
- Specific phobias:exaggerated fear of objects or situations (animals, dark, thunderstorms, injections).
- Social anxiety:extreme shame and fear of public speaking or being judged.
- Generalized anxiety: constant concerns (health, school, parental safety), with tension and “anticipation of the worst”.
Types of Anxiety Disorder in Adolescents
em Adolescentes

- Generalized anxiety: constant worries (future, grades, body, relationships), with tension, irritability and insomnia.
- Panic disorder:sudden attacks of anxiety and fear that they will happen again.
- Agoraphobia: avoid places with many people (transport, shopping centers) for fear of not being able to leave.
- Specific phobias:exaggerated fear of situations such as heights, flight, driving, blood, injections.
- Health-related anxiety: excessive concern with diseases or use of medicines.
Sintomas do Défice de Atenção em Adultos

- Mensagens por responder, chamadas esquecidas e pedidos que ficaram pelo caminho
- Fazer amigos não é difícil, mas manter essas relações ao longo do tempo é
- Um contratempo pequeno pode desestabilizar o dia todo
- Anos a sentir que se esforça mais do que os outros para chegar ao mesmo resultado
- Entrega trabalhos com erros que bastava reler para corrigir
- Começa uma tarefa com boas intenções e dez minutos depois já está noutra coisa
- Está presente na conversa mas a mente não, e às vezes nem percebe o que foi dito
- As instruções fazem sentido no momento mas na prática alguma coisa falha sempre
- As tarefas menos interessantes ficam para amanhã, e amanhã ficam para depois

Diagnóstico do Défice de Atenção em Adultos
O diagnóstico do Défice de Atenção em adultos deve ser realizado por um profissional especializado (psicólogo, psiquiatra) e baseia-se numa avaliação clínica completa, que pode incluir entrevistas, questionários e testes psicológicos.
Na NeuroImprove, recorremos também ao Eletroencefalograma Quantitativo (qEEG), um exame complementar que permite obter um diagnóstico mais preciso e, por isso, um tratamento mais eficaz.
No qEEG, o subtipo Desatento está frequentemente associado a:
🧠 Um excesso da onda Theta
🧠 Uma diminuição da onda Beta
Costuma observar-se, portanto, um mapa cerebral semelhante a este:
PHDA Combined
As the name suggests, it is a combination of the symptoms presented by the two other subtypes: inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive.
PHDA Combinada
Como o próprio nome indica, trata-se da combinação dos sintomas apresentados pelos dois outros subtipos: desatento e hiperativo-impulsivo.

My daughter had a lot of anxiety that was even affecting her at school level but thanks to this treatment she improved immensely. This would be very noticeable in school and it does not seem the same. I recommend.
I really liked the accompaniment. What we want to improve is always taken into account and affects us the most. I am a completely different person, much calmer and more focused. Neurofeedback makes all the difference! I strongly advise those who manage to get green for this type of treatment
I liked it from the care to the treatment, my son is 8 years old suffers from anxiety and has attention deficit. With the help of neurofeedback you can already control your anxiety, you are calmer and more confident and your attention has improved a lot.
We are having an excellent experience. In a few sessions and you can already notice results. Great professionals and very welcoming, both at the reception and therapists. Thank you
I found a friend at the NeuroImprove Clinic when I was already desperate because all the doors were closing for my son. Today he is a teenager with friends and a super normal life, and with a very strong self-esteem. This achievement of mine is due to this magnificent clinic that has a team of excellent professionals.
Fantastic clinic and team and always looking for agenda solutions and helping the children in this case my daughter. I highly recommend coming to Porto from Lisbon because the confidence is maximum and the support, the professionalism of the teams, the way they explain the progress of the sessions can only give improvements..
It's been a very positive experience. Although there are not many sessions yet, we have already noticed differences in our son. We always give feedback in all sessions and we have the opportunity to follow the results with the evaluations made before, during and after the program. Thank you all, they are an excellent team.

An excellent follow-up with results that exceeded my expectations in my child's Hyperactivity.
I noticed a lot of differences in my son, namely in his behavior, more in relation to me, that we were with authority problems, but thank goodness he has corrected! And if I eventually need treatment again, this is where I will go for sure! Many thanks to the whole team always ready to help, and Dra. Beatriz for all the support and affection given throughout our journey! Thank you all at NeuroImprove 🙏❤️
