Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects the brain’s ability to regulate impulse control, attention, and activity levels. Approximately 23 million people in the U.S. are currently diagnosed with ADHD, with millions more estimated to be undiagnosed.

Yes. ADHD is categorized into three distinct types: predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive, and combined presentation. As symptoms shift, your diagnosis may change, making regular follow-ups with a ADHD specialist key to long-term management.   

The process begins with an evaluation by one of our board-certified ADHD specialists. We will listen to your concerns, history, and go over a symptoms checklist during a comprehensive clinical interview. Once other conditions are ruled out and a diagnosis is made, we will schedule a follow-up feedback session to review results and discuss next steps.   

Medication can be an effective tool for managing core symptoms, however, we have great success treating our patients through behavioral therapy and lifestyle changes. Medication is considered as a last resort, when symptoms disrupt work, school, or personal relationships.

ADHD is a chronic condition for most, which means treatment is ongoing. Depending on your diagnosis and severity of symptoms, treatment intensity can change over time. Some patients are able to manage symptoms with a stable medication regimen and occasional follow-ups, while some require more frequent medication adjustments, therapy, or lifestyle interventions to effectively manage their symptoms. Many patients complete a treatment plan, experience years without recurrence, then have a major life transition trigger symptoms that require revisiting a treatment plan. Everyone is different, and that is normal.
