ADHD, or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, is a common brain-based condition that affects attention, self-control, and the ability to sit still or focus. It is most often diagnosed in childhood but can also continue into adulthood. People with ADHD are not lazy or “naughty”—they simply have brains that work a little differently.
At our center, we help children, teens, and adults with ADHD manage their symptoms, discover their strengths, and live successful, happy lives.
ADHD affects how a person thinks, acts, and pays attention. It’s a neurodevelopmental disorder, meaning it develops as the brain grows. ADHD is not caused by bad parenting, too much sugar, or lack of discipline. It’s a real medical condition with real solutions.
There are three main types of ADHD:
Inattentive type: Trouble focusing, finishing tasks, or following instructions (often seen as "daydreamers").
Hyperactive-impulsive type: Very active, talks a lot, interrupts others, struggles to sit still.
Combined type: A mix of both inattentive and hyperactive symptoms (most common type).
Easily distracted or forgetful
Doesn’t follow through on tasks or homework
Constantly moving or fidgeting
Interrupts conversations or blurts out answers
Trouble waiting for their turn
Struggles to stay organized
Difficulty staying focused at work
Trouble managing time or deadlines
Restlessness or feeling constantly “on the go”
Forgetfulness and disorganization
Mood swings or frustration
Everyone may show these behaviors sometimes, but in ADHD, they are more frequent, stronger, and affect daily life.
The exact cause of ADHD isn’t fully known, but research shows it may involve:
Genetics (runs in families)
Differences in brain structure and function
Premature birth or low birth weight
Exposure to toxins (like lead) during pregnancy or early life
It is not caused by poor parenting or too much screen time.
ADHD is diagnosed based on behavior patterns, not a single test. The process includes:
Interviews with parents, teachers, or the individual
Observation and behavioral checklists
Rule out other possible causes (like anxiety or learning disabilities)
Early diagnosis can make a big difference in how a child or adult copes and succeeds in life.
There’s no “cure” for ADHD, but many effective treatments help manage symptoms:
Behavioral Therapy: Teaches strategies for staying focused, controlling impulses, and organizing tasks.
Parent Training: Helps families create structure, routine, and support at home.
School Support: Special accommodations and learning plans help children succeed in the classroom.
Medication: In some cases, doctors may recommend safe and effective medicines (like stimulants) to improve focus and reduce hyperactivity.
Coaching and Counseling: Helps teens and adults with time management, relationships, and emotional regulation.
