What is ADHD?
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD (previously known as ADD), is a fairly common disorder that can result in behavioral struggles in school, social issues, academic struggles, and difficulty staying organized. For many people, symptoms start in childhood but go unrecognized until an ADHD diagnosis is received as an adult.
ADHD Symptoms
Symptoms of ADHD can differ from person to person, and it's important that ADHD treatment meets your individual needs.
Symptoms of ADHD in adults can include:
- Poor planning
- Excessive activity or restlessness
- Low frustration tolerance
- Problems with following through and completing tasks
- Trouble coping with stress
- Disorganization and problems prioritizing
- Poor time management skills
If you believe that you may have ADHD, it's important to reach out to a mental health professional for an evaluation. It’s possible that troubling behaviors you've experienced throughout your life can be attributed to untreated ADHD. Many of our clients are surprised at how their lives improve after they receive the treatment they've needed for decades.
There are many treatment options for ADHD. Some people respond well to therapy alone, while others respond well to a combination of medication and therapy. We'll work closely with you to understand your unique needs and develop a treatment plan that works for you.
