What is ADHD?

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, impulse control, activity levels, and executive functioning. Although ADHD often begins during childhood, symptoms can continue into adulthood. Some people may not recognize or receive a diagnosis until later in life.

ADHD can affect your ability to organize tasks, manage your time, remember responsibilities, or maintain focus. For adults, these challenges can become especially noticeable when balancing work, relationships, household responsibilities, and other demands.

ADHD symptoms generally involve patterns of inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity, or a combination of both.

What are the symptoms of ADHD?

ADHD can look different from person to person. Some adults primarily struggle with concentration and organization, while others experience more noticeable restlessness or impulsivity. Common symptoms may include:

  • Difficulty concentrating or staying focused
  • Becoming easily distracted
  • Frequently losing or misplacing belongings
  • Forgetting appointments, deadlines, or responsibilities
  • Difficulty organizing or prioritizing tasks
  • Procrastinating or struggling to complete projects
  • Making careless mistakes
  • Difficulty following detailed instructions
  • Frequently interrupting others
  • Acting or speaking without thinking
  • Feeling restless or having difficulty sitting still
  • Struggling with time management
  • Feeling overwhelmed by everyday responsibilities

Occasional forgetfulness or distraction doesn’t necessarily mean you have ADHD. Sharon performs a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to better understand your symptoms, history, and how these challenges affect your daily life.

What are my ADHD treatment options?

ADHD treatment is individualized based on your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and treatment goals. Sharon works with you to develop a personalized plan that may include medication management, behavioral strategies, lifestyle changes, or a combination of approaches.

Medication management

Medication can help some people improve attention, concentration, and impulse control. Depending on your individual needs, treatment may involve stimulant or nonstimulant medications. Sharon carefully considers your health history, symptoms, other medications, and treatment goals before recommending medication and monitors your progress over time.

Behavioral strategies

Practical strategies can make everyday responsibilities easier to manage. Sharon can help you explore techniques for improving organization, managing distractions, creating routines, breaking larger tasks into manageable steps, and developing healthier approaches to time management.

Lifestyle changes

Healthy daily habits can also support ADHD management. Consistent sleep, regular physical activity, balanced nutrition, stress management, and structured routines may help support concentration and overall mental well-being.

Living with ADHD can be frustrating, but understanding how your brain works and finding the right support can make daily life more manageable. Sharon provides compassionate, individualized telehealth psychiatric care designed around your specific needs and goals.
