Our experienced team provides comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment for ADHD across all age groups. We combine carefully managed medication with behavioral therapy to help individuals manage symptoms effectively and achieve success in school, work, and daily life.
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD), affecting the nervous system and resulting in differences in brain function. Symptoms often appear in early childhood but may continue into adulthood. ADHD can manifest as:
Predominantly inattentive – difficulty focusing, staying organized, and following through on tasks
Predominantly hyperactive-impulsive – excessive movement, restlessness, and impulsivity
Combined type – a mix of inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms
Children may struggle in school, structured settings, or at home, while adults may face challenges completing daily tasks, meeting deadlines, or maintaining relationships.
Individuals with ADHD often experience:
Difficulty sustaining attention and completing tasks
Poor organization and frequent misplacement of items
Trouble transitioning between tasks
Children with inattentive ADHD may appear dreamy or unresponsive, while those with hyperactive-impulsive ADHD may be restless, fidgety, impatient, or frequently interrupt others. Behavioral challenges often stem from frustration with concentration difficulties, rather than intentional defiance.
Adults with ADHD may have difficulty maintaining focus at work, completing projects, or managing relationships. Without proper treatment, ADHD can increase the risk of depression, anxiety, and substance use, but effective management can dramatically improve quality of life.
While there is no cure for ADHD, most individuals respond well to a combination of medication and therapy:
Medication Management – Stimulants are often effective for reducing core ADHD symptoms. In some cases, antidepressants or anti-anxiety medications may also be recommended.
Behavioral Therapy and Counseling – Therapy helps individuals understand their ADHD symptoms, develop coping strategies, and manage challenging behaviors. Families and support systems are often involved to ensure improvements are reflected across home, school, and work environments.
