At Strong Mind Psychiatry, we diagnose and treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) across all ages. Whether you’re a parent concerned about your child’s development or an adult navigating career challenges, we provide comprehensive care tailored to your needs.
Children show signs of ADHD with inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity. If your child is experiencing these, an expert can find out if these behaviors are normal for development.
ADHD typically starts in childhood and often continues into adulthood. It’s a condition that requires compassionate testing and treatment by a psychiatric expert.
ADHD testing isn’t just about confirming an ADHD diagnosis, it’s about providing answers. At Strong Mind Psychiatry, we take this responsibility seriously, offering thorough assessments for both children and adults in a comfortable and supportive environment. Our comprehensive assessment process cuts through confusion for both children and adults who may have struggled for years without understanding why.
For many patients, this clarity brings tremendous relief. With an accurate diagnosis in hand, effective treatment becomes possible, transforming frustration into focused solutions and renewed confidence.
More than an estimated ten percent of American children have received an ADHD diagnosis (approximately seven million kids), with likely millions more remaining undiagnosed. These staggering numbers can sometimes lead to viewing ADHD as merely a systemic issue rather than recognizing it as a very real challenge for the kids it affects. When left unaddressed, ADHD can have devastating effects on a child’s academic success and social development, fundamentally altering their educational experience and personal relationships during crucial developmental years.
An ADHD diagnosis is incredibly valuable in many ways. It provides context for you and your child, so you can decide what your next move should be. Beyond explaining challenges, proper testing validates your child’s experience and qualifies them for school accommodations in many school districts. These formal supports ensure teachers understand your child’s needs and implement proven strategies for success.
No, ADHD doesn’t disappear in adulthood — though it will likely affect you in different ways. As you evolve, it will also evolve, requiring sophisticated approaches that respect your experience and autonomy. Our integrative treatment philosophy combines medical expertise with wellness strategies that address the whole person, not just symptoms.
