Understanding ADHD

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects both children and adults. It’s characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity that can interfere with daily functioning, relationships, academic performance, and work.

ADHD is not a lack of intelligence or willpower. It’s a difference in how the brain processes information, regulates attention, and manages behavior. Many individuals with ADHD are creative, energetic, and highly perceptive—but without the right support, they may struggle with organization, follow-through, time management, and emotional regulation.

Common Symptoms of ADHD

Difficulty sustaining attention or staying on task
Frequently losing items or forgetting appointments
Restlessness or feeling “on the go”
Impulsive decision-making or interrupting others
Trouble organizing tasks or completing projects
Emotional sensitivity and frequent mood shifts

How Therapy Can Help

Living with ADHD can feel like a constant struggle to keep up—with responsibilities, expectations, and even your own thoughts. Whether you’ve been recently diagnosed or have been managing symptoms for years, therapy can offer clarity, support, and practical tools to help you thrive.
