What Is ADHD?
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common condition that affects both children and adults. Our team at Psychiatric Connections helps those who have challenges with focus, organization, and self-control. People with ADHD often struggle with impulsivity and hyperactivity, making daily tasks feel overwhelming. This condition isn't a flaw in character or ability; it's a brain-based difference that can be managed effectively with the right support. ADHD impacts everyone differently. Some may find it hard to sit still while others lose track of important details. These differences require tailored approaches to care. To learn more about ADHD and how Psychiatric Connections can help, schedule a consultation with our team. Serving clients in the western U.S., including Seattle, WA; San Diego and Los Angeles, CA; Reno, NV; and Phoenix, AZ, our confidential telehealth sessions are available for convenience and privacy.
How Is ADHD Treated?
Managing ADHD often starts with a thorough ADHD diagnosis. We take a look at behavior patterns, challenges, and history. Our team might ask about focus, impulsivity, and activity levels. We'll also consider how these affect different parts of life, like school, work, or relationships. Diagnosis ensures treatment plans are created to match specific challenges and goals, ensuring meaningful results. ADHD treatments often include a mix of strategies. Medications, like stimulants or non-stimulants, are common and may help balance chemicals in the brain that control focus and behavior. Behavioral therapy is another effective option. It can teach skills for organizing tasks, managing time, and improving relationships. Other approaches, such as lifestyle changes, can further support success. Structured routines, regular exercise, and proper sleep often make a big difference.
What Are the Signs of ADHD?
ADHD signs may vary but tend to show up in patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity. These traits can appear in different ways, depending on age and individual factors. Some of the most common ADHD symptoms include:
- Trouble paying attention to details or making careless mistakes
- Difficulty staying focused on tasks or activities
- Frequently losing items needed for daily activities
- Forgetting appointments, deadlines, or responsibilities
- Fidgeting or an inability to stay seated in calm situations
