ADHD (Inattention / Hyperactivity)
A careful clinical evaluation provides insight and clarity on adhd (inattention / hyperactivity). Diagnosis and treatment depend on a thorough understanding of your history, biology, and environment. We emphasize an evidence-based approach to finding sustainable relief.
Overview
ADHD is not simply about being distracted or energetic. At its core, it reflects differences in the brain’s executive control systems—networks governing sustained attention, impulse regulation, working memory, emotional reactivity, and the capacity to initiate or shift tasks.
How it's diagnosed
A diagnosis requires a minimum number of symptoms, onset before age 12, presence in multiple settings, and clear functional impairment. Clinicians use validated rating scales to inform clinical judgment, reviewing developmental history, medical factors, and ruling out co-occurring conditions.
Non-medication strategies
Evidence-based approaches include CBT adapted for adult ADHD, skills-building ADHD coaching, regular aerobic exercise, organizational strategies, and mindfulness-based interventions to help compensate for impaired internal working memory.
Medication strategies
Stimulant medications are FDA-approved first-line treatments that enhance dopamine and norepinephrine signaling. Non-stimulant alternatives like atomoxetine, viloxazine, guanfacine ER, and clonidine ER are options for individuals with anxiety or other considerations.
