Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Understanding ADHD

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. These symptoms can manifest differently in individuals, often leading to challenges in academic, professional, and personal settings. ADHD affects both children and adults and can significantly impact daily functioning.

Purpose of ADHD Counseling

The primary goal of ADHD counseling is to help individuals understand and manage their symptoms. At Bluehaven Psychiatry, we offer comprehensive evaluations and individualized treatment plans, including behavioral strategies and, when appropriate, medication management.

What to Expect

Our approach to ADHD begins with a detailed assessment, including an ADHD test and a thorough discussion of symptoms. We provide counseling to address behavioral challenges and improve organizational skills. For many patients, medication may be recommended to help manage symptoms effectively. Our team works closely with patients to monitor progress and adjust treatment plans as needed.

Risks

While medication can be an effective part of ADHD treatment, it may have side effects such as appetite changes or sleep disturbances. Our team carefully monitors these effects and provides guidance on managing them.

Results

With proper management, individuals with ADHD can improve their focus, reduce impulsivity, and enhance their overall quality of life. Our goal is to help patients achieve their full potential and lead fulfilling lives.
