ADHD Q&A What is ADHD? Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a behavioral disorder that causes increased hyperactivity for some and increased inattention for others. In fact, there are many behaviors associated with ADHD that can interfere with your home, school, work, and social life. ADHD affects both adults and children but is often first diagnosed in school-aged children. Since school is a structured setting, the symptoms of ADHD often first become apparent in the classroom. If your child has ADHD, you might hear initial concerns from their teacher. BThere Healthcare offers remote ADHD evaluations by specialty-trained providers. You can attend your evaluation with a telemedicine appointment using your phone, computer, or tablet. If the team determines you fit the criteria for having ADHD, they can then create a personalized care plan and provide you with the supportive care you need. What are the symptoms of ADHD? People with ADHD may have primarily hyperactive symptoms, inattentive symptoms, or an even distribution of symptoms in both categories. The team at BThere Healthcare asks detailed questions about your behavioral patterns to determine if you have ADHD or if there’s another explanation for your atypical behaviors. Common symptoms of ADHD include: Forgetfulness Being easily distracted Frequent interruptions Trouble concentrating on a single task Excessive talking Trouble sitting still Having a hard time taking turns Losing items frequently Frequent careless mistakes and oversights Your symptoms may evolve over time as you get older, especially if you first get your diagnosis during childhood or adolescence. How is ADHD treated? ADHD treatment is often multifaceted and may or may not involve medications. The team at BThere Healthcare determines your need for cash-based medications, either controlled or non-controlled substances, during your initial evaluation. For many people with ADHD, long-term medication management is a crucial part of treatment. You might also benefit from lifestyle modifications, like sticking to a structured and predictable routine or attending counseling sessions to manage ADHD symptoms. Counseling can help you learn to recognize impulses and behaviors associated with your ADHD so you can take steps to control them. *Our providers prefer treating ADHD with non-stimulant medications, on rare occasions and if patients meet the criteria will determine if stimulant medications are indicated.

Early detection and diagnosis are crucial for Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases.

They can also track your cognitive changes over time and can start screenings around the time you turn 55.
