Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental (meaning you are born with it) condition that affects how the brain regulates attention, impulses, and executive functioning. It is frequently diagnosed in childhood. ADHD often persists into adulthood, shaping career performance, relationship dynamics, and day-to-day organization.
Common Signs & Symptoms
- Inattention: Chronic forgetfulness, difficulty tracking details, frequent misplacement of items, and struggles with sustained focus on routine tasks.
- Hyperactivity & Restlessness: A constant internal sense of restlessness, fidgeting, or an urge to stay continuously busy.
- Executive Dysfunction: Chronic procrastination, time blindness, difficulty prioritizing tasks, and feeling easily overwhelmed by multi-step projects.
- Emotional Dysregulation: Impulsive reactions, low frustration tolerance, and quick shifts in mood.
My Treatment Approach
Effective ADHD care begins with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to distinguish ADHD from overlapping conditions like anxiety or mood disorders. Treatment plans are tailored to your lifestyle and typically combine evidence-based pharmacotherapy (stimulant or non-stimulant medications) with practical strategies for executive function support and behavioral optimization.
