Understanding ADHD

ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is one of the most common mental health disorders in children and adults. It is characterized by symptoms such as a lack of focus, excessive activity, and impulsive behavior. It affects around 8 million people in the United States alone, and more than 6 million children have been diagnosed with ADHD.

ADHD is a manageable condition with the right treatment approach. Effective management of ADHD can enable individuals living with the disorder to lead full and successful lives. Treatment options for ADHD often include a combination of medication, behavioral interventions, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). These treatments are tailored to the individual’s needs and are designed to help manage symptoms like focus, impulsivity, and hyperactivity, enhancing the patient’s quality of life and ability to handle day-to-day tasks.

Empowering Lives
Through Effective ADHD Management

Despite this prevalence, many people don’t realize just how manageable ADHD can be with the right approach and treatment plan. With the help of a Board Certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner or nurse practitioner, individuals living with ADHD can lead full and successful lives.

Common Treatments for ADHD

The neurodevelopmental disorder known as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity illness (ADHD) affects people of all ages. Symptoms can include a lack of focus, excessive activity, and impulsive behavior. Wellness Psychiatry provides a holistic treatment plan for ADHD that includes both therapy, behavioral modification tools, and medication tailored to the needs of the individual.

ADHD Medication Management

Medication management is a crucial part of treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Each patient’s individual needs are carefully evaluated by our team of seasoned Board Certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners and nurse practitioners, who may then recommend medication treatment such as stimulants or non-stimulants. These medications enhance focus, attention, and impulse control by elevating levels of specific neurotransmitters in the brain.

Behavioral Interventions

ADHD treatment plans often include behavioral treatments. Our team collaborates closely with patients and their families to create plans that encourage desirable behaviors and combat difficulties brought on by ADHD. In particular, these interventions can improve children’s success in school and social contexts.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for ADHD Treatment

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an important adjunct to medication for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). CBT is a therapy method that involves the detection of unhelpful ways of thinking and behaving and the subsequent implementation of more constructive alternatives. Patients can learn to manage their impulsivity, become more organized, and boost their overall executive functioning through CBT.

​Comprehensive ADHD Treatment Approach

At Wellness Psychiatry, our integrated medicine approach incorporates treatments such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and medication management to address symptoms of ADHD. Through these evidence-based treatment modalities, individuals can better manage their focus, impulsivity, and hyperactivity.

Enhancing Self-Awareness and Quality of Life for ADHD Patients

In addition to helping people with ADHD manage their symptoms, our team at Wellness Psychiatry also works on helping patients become more self-aware and understand how the disorder affects them both socially and academically. With the right education and tools, individuals can work to improve their overall quality of life and develop effective strategies for managing day-to-day tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
about ADHD Treatment

Can adults also be diagnosed with ADHD?

The majority of people with ADHD are not initially diagnosed until they are adults. Both children and adults can benefit from our team’s expertise in identifying and treating ADHD.

Can ADHD only be treated with medication?

Medication is not the only part of a holistic approach to treating ADHD; behavioral therapies including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and lifestyle changes can help patients manage the symptoms they experience.

How long does it take for ADHD medication to start working?

The time it takes to feel better varies from one person to the next. Some patients report improvement just weeks into treatment, while others may need more time. Finding the best method of treatment may take some time and effort.

Can children grow out of ADHD?

ADHD is a lifelong challenge, even though some children may show fewer symptoms as they enter puberty and maturity. The good news is that people can learn to control their symptoms with the help of treatment and coping mechanisms.

Can my child require special services at school?

Your child may qualify for special educational provisions if his or her ADHD symptoms are particularly severe. Our group can coordinate with your kid’s school to create a strategy for improved academic performance.

what our clients say

I was extremely apprehensive on my first visit because I was in a very bad mental state. Amanda was very thorough, very friendly, and made me feel very comfortable from the very beginning. As I recovered I looked forward to our visits but in the end we mutually decided that it was time for me to leave the nest and fly away. If I ever need her I can always call on her. There was something about the layout of the office, the furnishings, and the calming energy that always put me at ease. My first encounter with psychiatric counseling was definitely a positive experience and something that I'll cherish.
Charles
This office is amazing! Anyone who struggles with mental health or neurodivergence knows how frustrating and overwhelming advocating for yourself can be. I recently transitioned from a GP to seeing Jordan Gough with Wellness Psychiatry. My hope was to have a bit less frustration with medication management for ADHD. Transitioning to this office has been a life changing experience. I left my first appointment feeling supported and understood for the first time in 20 years. I feel like Jordan honestly cares and listens. Her compassion and empathy is palpable and I honestly feel like I have someone who WANTS to help me.
Briana
Wellness has been awesome. I’ve seen Jordan Gough for the last couple weeks now. As an adult being treated for ADHD for the first time in my life, I walked into the experience a little nervous. Jordan has made me feel comfortable from the get-go. She does a great job of making sure I understand all the science-y stuff that goes into ADHD and treatment without making me feel dumb or confused. If Jordan, as a knowledgeable, professional, and caring psychiatrist, is the standard for Wellness then you know the place is great.
