ADHD Q & A

What are the symptoms of ADHD?

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a chronic mental health condition that often starts in childhood, then continues into adulthood. The symptoms and behaviors described below characterize ADHD.

ADHD in children

Children who have ADHD are known for being inattentive, overly active, and even impulsive. These children may:

Be easily distracted
Blurt out answers
Talk a lot or talk fast
Have difficulty paying attention in class
Make careless mistakes on schoolwork
Always seem on-the-go and in motion

ADHD in adults

When adults have ADHD, the same symptoms that affect children start trickling into adult activities and responsibilities. If you have ADHD, you may:

Have difficulty coping with stress
Experience frequent mood swings
Find it difficult to follow through or complete tasks
Be a poor planner or have poor time management skills

If any of these symptoms sound familiar to you, it’s important to have an evaluation and start treatment before ADHD seriously starts disrupting your life.

When should I see a doctor for ADHD?

It’s normal for all children and adults to experience some symptoms of ADHD during various stages of life. But if ADHD-related behaviors are starting to affect you on a regular basis, schedule an exam at Labyrinth Psychiatry Group. Their team can evaluate you if your ADHD is associated with:

Decreased work or school performance
Broken or damaged relationships
Dangerous or impulsive behaviors
Anxiety or depression
Learning disabilities

They spend time evaluating you as an individual and design your treatment plan based on your specific needs.

How is ADHD treated?

Treating ADHD often involves combining the right type of medication with regular counseling to help correct behaviors or ways of thinking. Your ADHD treatment plan at Labyrinth Psychiatry Group may include:

Stimulant medications
Specialized antidepressants
Psychological counseling
Cognitive behavioral therapy

Treating ADHD takes time and dedication to your treatment plan with your provider. But ongoing treatments and therapies can open doors for improved learning, enhanced work performance, and even more stable relationships. Labyrinth Psychiatry Group even offers convenient telehealth appointments to help monitor your progress and answer any questions you may have.
