Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a complex condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It can manifest in many different ways, and one of the most severe forms is known as Ring of Fire ADD. This type of ADHD was identified by Dr. Daniel Amen, who developed a system for categorizing the various types of ADHD. In this blog post, we’ll take a look at what Ring of Fire ADD is, its symptoms, and how it can be treated.
What is Ring of Fire ADD?
Ring of Fire ADD is characterized by abnormally increased activity in multiple areas of the brain. On a qEEG brain mapping test, these areas appear as a “ring” around the brain. This type of ADHD can be caused by allergy, infection or inflammation in the brain, and it has been linked to bipolar disorder as well. People with Ring of Fire ADD often experience primary ADHD symptoms such as difficulty concentrating and impulsivity, but they may also have extreme moodiness, anger outbursts, oppositional behavior and fast thoughts.
Symptoms
The symptoms associated with Ring of Fire ADD vary from person to person but typically include:
- Difficulty concentrating
- Impulsivity
- Extreme moodiness
- Anger outbursts

Treatment Options
Fortunately, there are treatment options available for those living with Ring of Fire ADD. Medication can help reduce some symptoms such as impulsivity and hyperactivity, while cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help address issues such as anger management and oppositional behavior. Additionally, lifestyle changes such as getting enough sleep and eating a healthy diet can also help manage symptoms associated with this type of ADHD.
Conclusion
