ADHD affects both children and adults and involves more than difficulty paying attention. Symptoms may include distractibility, restlessness, impulsivity, poor time management, forgetfulness, or feeling overwhelmed by daily tasks. Many individuals struggle for years without realizing there is a medical explanation.
ADHD is treatable. A thorough evaluation can determine whether symptoms are due to ADHD, anxiety, depression, sleep issues, trauma, or another condition. Treatment options include therapy, coping strategies, accommodations at school or work, and, when appropriate, medication.
If you or your child struggles with focus, organization, follow-through, or emotional regulation, an assessment can clarify the cause and identify effective support. Early diagnosis and treatment can enhance daily functioning, confidence, and quality of life.
