What is ADHD?
ADHD is a mental health condition caused by imbalances in brain chemicals and nerve communication. These brain changes affect your ability to focus and regulate behaviors and emotions.
Everyone occasionally becomes hyperactive or has a hard time paying attention. But if you have ADHD, these problems occur daily, and they’re severe enough to interfere with school, work, and socializing.
The signs of ADHD appear before the age of 12 but may go undiagnosed until later in life. For at least one-third of children diagnosed with ADHD, the condition continues throughout adulthood.
What symptoms occur due to ADHD?
- Not paying attention
- Not noticing details
- Getting distracted
- Making reckless mistakes
- Not following directions
- Struggling to finish tasks
- Forgetting to do chores
- Finding it hard to get organized
- Avoiding tasks that require concentration
- Being unable to sit still
- Not waiting to take your turn
- Staying constantly active
- Frequently talking or talking too much
- Interrupting others when they’re talking
- Making rash decisions
How is ADHD treated?
During your first telemedicine appointment, your provider learns about your symptoms and concerns, explores your behavioral history, and determines if you have ADHD.
Talk therapy helps people with ADHD develop the skills they need to manage the challenges caused by ADHD.
The first line of treatment for ADHD often includes stimulant medications. These medications increase the brain chemicals that support attention and regulate behaviors. If you can’t tolerate stimulants, your provider can prescribe non-stimulant medications that improve ADHD symptoms.
If you or your child need help with ADHD, call Nunn Psychiatric Care or use the online booking feature to request a telemedicine appointment today.
