What is ADHD?

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental condition that often begins in childhood but can go undiagnosed until adulthood. ADHD can affect many aspects of daily life, including focus, organization, and emotional regulation. Without proper treatment, it may lead to hyper fixations, overstimulation, restlessness, impulsivity, and difficulties managing tasks.

Individuals with ADHD may struggle to sustain attention, plan ahead, or prioritize tasks—challenges that can impact both academic and professional performance. However, with accurate diagnosis and evidence-based adult ADHD treatment, treatment, individuals can effectively manage their symptoms and improve overall quality of life.

At Health and Psychiatry, our clinicians provide comprehensive ADHD treatment evaluations and personalized treatment plans tailored for adults. Whether you are seeking ADHD testing, screening, evaluation, or therapy, our proven approaches are designed to help you regain focus, strengthen memory, and manage symptoms with confidence.

Recognizing
ADHD Symptoms in Adults

ADHD symptoms in adults can appear in different ways, often making them difficult to recognize and diagnose. ADHD is generally classified into three main types based on the most dominant symptoms:

1. Inattentive Type

Adults with this presentation often struggle with:

  • Maintaining focus during conversations or lengthy tasks
  • Completing projects or following through on commitments
  • Organizational skills and time management
  • Remembering appointments or important details
  • Avoiding tasks that require sustained mental effort

2. Hyperactive Type

Adults with this type often experience:

  • Restlessness and difficulty sitting still for extended periods
  • Excessive movement or fidgeting
  • Feeling internally "driven" or unable to relax
  • Talking excessively or difficulty with quiet activities

3. Impulsive Type

Those with impulsive ADHD may:

  • Make quick decisions without considering consequences
  • Interrupt others during conversations
  • Have difficulty waiting for their turn
  • Act spontaneously without forethought
  • Experience challenges with emotional regulation

Why ADHD Often Goes Undiagnosed

Because these symptoms can overlap with or mimic other conditions, such as anxiety, depression, or stress, ADHD in adults is frequently misdiagnosed or overlooked entirely.

At Health & Psychiatry, Dr. Sajan and her experienced team specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of adult ADHD for both men and women. We provide comprehensive assessments designed to help you gain clarity, improve focus, and feel more in control of your life.

Accurate ADHD Diagnosis with QBTest

At Health & Psychiatry, Dr. Sajan and her team utilize the QBTest (Quantified Behavioral Test)—a computerized diagnostic tool that provides objective data to assist in the accurate assessment and management of ADHD.

How the QBTest Works

The QBTest measures the three core symptoms of ADHD: hyperactivity, inattention, and impulsivity.

During the Test:

  • An infrared camera tracks your movements via a headband equipped with an infrared marker
  • You respond to symbols displayed on a computer screen by pressing a responder button
  • The test takes approximately 15-20 minutes to complete
  • No language, reading, or math skills are required

Understanding Your Results:

The QBTest generates a detailed report that compares your performance to a control group matched by age and gender. This objective comparison provides valuable insight into how your focus and movement patterns differ from those of individuals without ADHD, helping clinicians make a more accurate and informed diagnosis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, many individuals successfully manage ADHD through non-medication approaches. While medication can be highly effective, alternative strategies include ADHD behavioral treatment, structured routines, regular exercise, mindfulness practices, ADHD coaching, and nutritional modifications. Some people find that a combination of these approaches works best for their needs. During your evaluation, we'll discuss all available treatment options and develop a plan that aligns with your preferences and goals.

ADHD symptoms typically emerge in childhood, often becoming most noticeable between ages 7 and 12 when academic and organizational demands increase. However, ADHD is a lifelong condition that doesn't "peak" and then disappear. While hyperactive symptoms may decrease with age, inattention and executive function challenges often persist into adulthood.

ADHD medications generally fall into two categories: stimulants and non-stimulants:

Stimulant medications (such as methylphenidate and amphetamine-based medications) are often first-line treatments and work by increasing dopamine and norepinephrine levels in the brain.

Non-stimulant medications (such as atomoxetine, guanfacine, and bupropion) may be prescribed when stimulants are ineffective or cause undesirable side effects.

Your provider will discuss the benefits, potential side effects, and appropriate options based on your specific symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle factors.

ADHD cannot be cured, as it is a neurodevelopmental condition involving differences in brain structure and function. However, ADHD can be effectively managed with appropriate treatment. Many individuals with ADHD lead successful, fulfilling lives by using medication, therapy, behavioral strategies, and accommodations.

An in-person or online ADHD assessment typically includes an initial consultation (60–90 minutes) where we review your symptoms, medical history, and functional challenges. If the QBTest is included, add an additional 15–20 minutes for the computerized assessment.

Some evaluations may require follow-up appointments or additional testing, depending on the complexity of your presentation. We take the time needed to ensure an accurate diagnosis and develop an effective treatment plan tailored to your needs.
