ADHD Evaluation and Treatment in Valencia
What is ADHD?
ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) is a common mental health condition that makes it hard to maintain focus and attention. It often starts in childhood but can continue into adulthood, and many adults are not diagnosed until later in life. Without treatment, ADHD can contribute to strained relationships, poor work performance, and low self-esteem.
Common symptoms of inattention
- Forgetfulness
- Distractibility
- Disorganization and trouble prioritizing
- Trouble multitasking
- Losing track of tasks, belongings, or deadlines
- Low frustration tolerance
Common symptoms of hyperactivity and impulsivity
- Fidgeting, tapping hands, or squirming in a seat
- An excessive feeling of restlessness
- Difficulty with quiet, leisure activities
- Impulsiveness, such as acting without thinking or interrupting others
Not everyone with these symptoms has ADHD, which is why a careful evaluation matters.
How we evaluate ADHD ?
At Healthy Mind Psychiatry, Dr. Sreepathi conducts a comprehensive evaluation, in person or by telehealth, to accurately diagnose ADHD. The evaluation looks at:
- Your symptoms and when they started
- Your medical and mental health history
- How your symptoms affect work, school, and relationships
- Sleep, mood, anxiety, and other conditions that can look like ADHD or occur along with it
Treatment options
Treatment for ADHD in adults typically involves medication, psychotherapy, and education. A combination of these is often the most effective approach, and these treatments can help manage many symptoms of ADHD. Your personalized treatment plan may include:
- Medication, when appropriate
- Education about ADHD and how it affects you
- Strategies for organization and time management
- Healthy routines for sleep, exercise, and stress
- Follow-up visits to check your progress and adjust your plan
