What Is ADHD?
ADHD is a common condition that affects attention, activity level, and impulse control. People with ADHD may feel restless and have a near-constant urge to be active and moving. Although it is frequently diagnosed in children and adolescents, ADHD often continues into adulthood, bringing challenges such as inattention, disorganization, and poor impulse control. Living with ADHD can be challenging regardless of its severity.
Types of ADHD
- Predominantly inattentive – difficulty focusing, following instructions, and staying organized
- Predominantly hyperactive-impulsive – restlessness, fidgeting, interrupting, and acting without thinking
- Combined type – a mix of inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms
ADHD in Adults
Many adults were never diagnosed as children. Adult ADHD may show up as chronic lateness, trouble finishing tasks, difficulty managing time, forgetfulness, and frustration at work or home. It often occurs alongside anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.
How We Evaluate and Treat ADHD
Our evaluation includes a detailed history, symptom assessment, and review of how symptoms affect daily life. We also look for conditions that can mimic or worsen ADHD, such as sleep disorders, thyroid problems, and the lingering effects of a concussion. Treatment may include medication, behavioral strategies, sleep and nutrition support, and referrals for coaching or counseling.
Ongoing Support
ADHD management works best with regular follow-up. Our primary care team monitors your progress and adjusts treatment as needed, and many visits can be completed through telehealth. Our functional medicine approach also considers nutrition and gut health as part of your plan.
