ADHD

At Center of Excellence

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a condition characterized by inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity. With treatment, most people with ADHD can be successful in school, work and lead productive lives.

Anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, and substance abuse are among the conditions that may occur with ADHD.

Treatment for ADHD at the Center of Excellence in Co-Occurring Medicine includes a thorough evaluation and routine follow-up care to ensure that ADHD and any co-occurring conditions are properly diagnosed and treated.

The treatment team at the Center of Excellence encourages patients with ADHD to engage in therapy and coaching consistently. These services help patients develop strategies for emotional regulation, impulse control, and stress management — and improve skills such as planning, organizing, and time management.

You can learn more about ADHD in our three-part blog, which covers diagnosis, treatment, and the neurobiology of ADHD.

Even more information about the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of ADHD is available from the National Alliance on Mental Illness and the National Institute of Mental Health.
