ADHD

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a brain disorder that is typically characterized by a lack of impulse control, an inability to focus and pay attention, and hyperactivity. ADHD most commonly emerges in children and teens and can continue into adulthood. In fact, ADHD is the most common mental health disorder diagnosed in young people and sufferers often have trouble paying attention in school. ADHD must be diagnosed by a qualified clinician. In addition to medical interventions, seeing a mental health practitioner who specializes in the treatment of ADHD can help patients and their families better cope with many of the symptoms.

I will obtain your past history while in school, daily challenges, often testing that consist of questionnaires. For children this includes teacher and parent involvement. Several mental health disorders can present as a focus issue and that's why it is so important to get a thorough history. We will work on gathering this information in our visits. Treatment for ADHD often will include medication, lifestyle changes, and therapy. I respect that some parents may prefer non-medication treatment.

— Wendy Aragaki, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner in Tempe, AZ
 

Adult ADHD is underdiagnosed and misunderstood. Adult ADHD affects people's daily functioning in so many ways, as it affects executive functioning overall. I find that adults who have not been diagnosed, often assume they are just "defective" or "suck at life" and other people have figured out how to handle things better. Not true. With strategies and possible medication, adults I work with find that their world changes dramatically for the better once we begin implementation.

Everyone encounters stress during their lives at one point—never-ending bills, demanding schedules, work, and family responsibilities—and that can make stress seem inescapable and uncontrollable.
