What is Adult ADHD?

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity. While often thought of as a childhood condition, an estimated 4-5% of adults have ADHD.

In adults, ADHD often looks different than in children. The physical hyperactivity of childhood often transitions into inner restlessness, overworking, or impulsivity in relationships and spending.

Common Symptoms in Adults

Executive Function & Impulsivity

How We Diagnose ADHD

ADHD cannot be diagnosed with a simple blood test. It requires a thorough clinical evaluation to distinguish it from other conditions like anxiety, depression, or sleep disorders, which can cause similar cognitive symptoms.

Standardized Assessments

We utilize validated rating scales (like the ASRS) prior to your appointment to quantify your symptoms.

Clinical Interview

A 60-minute deep dive into your childhood history, academic performance, work history, and current impairments.

Differential Diagnosis

Ruling out or identifying co-occurring conditions (like anxiety) that must be treated concurrently.

Medication Management for ADHD

Medication is highly effective for ADHD, helping to correct the dopamine and norepinephrine imbalances in the prefrontal cortex.

Stimulant Medications

The first-line treatment for ADHD. They work quickly to improve focus and reduce impulsivity.

*Note: Controlled substances require strict adherence to practice policies and state telehealth laws.

Non-Stimulant Medications

Excellent alternatives for those who cannot tolerate stimulants or prefer a 24/7 coverage option.
