CONDITIONS WE TREAT
“Limits, like fears, are often just an illusion.” ~ Michael Jordan
Adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity that interferes with daily functioning. Individuals with untreated Adult ADHD in New York often find themselves day dreaming, losing focus, fidgety, and on the go. It is common for a person with Adult ADHD to struggle at work, finding themselves disorganized and unable to complete tasks. They may also find daily tasks overwhelming, having a negative impact on their personal relationships. Untreated ADHD can lead to feelings of depression and the gut-wrenching feeling that they’re not living up to their potential.
What Is Adult ADHD?
You're in the right place.
Some people with ADHD have fewer symptoms as they age, but some adults continue to have major symptoms that interfere with daily functioning. In adults, the main features of ADHD may include difficulty paying attention, impulsiveness and restlessness. Symptoms can range from mild to severe. Many adults with ADHD aren’t aware they have it — they just know that everyday tasks can be a challenge. Adults with ADHD may find it difficult to focus and prioritize, leading to missed deadlines and forgotten meetings or social plans. The inability to control impulses can range from impatience waiting in line or driving in traffic to mood swings and outbursts of anger.

If you are concerned for yourself or someone you know, it is ok to reach out for help.
