What Is ADHD?

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common condition affecting children and adults. It affects people differently, so there isn’t one set of symptoms that define ADHD. Symptoms vary between individuals and can range from mild to severe.

The Symptoms

If you’re struggling with attention issues, you might not realize that these symptoms are actually signs of ADHD. Here’s how to tell if you have ADHD:
• Inattention – You often miss details or fail to finish tasks.
• Hyperactivity – You fidget, squirm, or blurts out answers before being asked questions.
• Impulsivity – You act without thinking through consequences.

Treatment Options

There are several different treatments available for adult ADHD. Medication is usually the first line of defense, but there are also behavioral therapies and lifestyle changes that can help improve symptoms.

Aftercare

If medication isn’t right for you, we offer other options such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness training. CBT helps people learn how to manage their emotions and behaviors better so they can live happier lives.
