What is ADHD?

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that a person is born with and can last throughout adulthood.

The condition affects people in several ways. When you have ADHD, you may find it difficult to concentrate, stay organized, and keep up with responsibilities. ADHD can also cause behavioral issues like fidgeting, impulsive actions, and interrupting others while they’re talking.

Radical Healing offers diagnostic testing for ADHD in adults and children aged 8 and up. The providers also customize a treatment plan to prevent symptoms from disrupting your life.

When should I seek treatment for ADHD?

You should schedule a diagnostic evaluation at Radical Healing for yourself or your child if there are symptoms of ADHD. Evaluations are important if ADHD symptoms cause problems at school, work, or social settings.

ADHD evaluations are available online through a telehealth appointment.

The Radical Healing providers complete diagnostic tests to learn more about your symptoms and their severity. They create an individual treatment plan to make ADHD symptoms and behaviors more manageable.

How is ADHD treated?

A treatment plan for ADHD typically involves a combination of psychological therapy and medications.

The Radical Healing providers can prescribe medications that improve your focus and concentration. You may also need medications to address anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues that co-occur with ADHD.

The providers recommend strategies you or your child can use to improve the quality of life, including:

• Getting daily exercise
• Eating nutritious foods
• Following a bedtime routine
• Reducing the use of television, computers, and other electronics
• Implementing accommodations at work and school
• Organizational and time tracking strategies

The providers can refer you to behavior therapy and other psychological therapies that help you recognize negative behaviors and thought patterns. Your therapist gives you tools to better cope with the challenges that ADHD can cause. You may also find ADHD Coaching beneficial to help put organizational strategies and accommodations into your daily life.

The Radical Healing specialists can provide letters of accommodation for school or work that support your success. Radical healing has experience suggesting various accommodations that are often helpful for those with ADHD. They can also coordinate care with your primary physician, therapist, school, work, and other medical professionals.
