ADHD Assessments and Treatment 

 

Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common mental disorders affecting children with traits that persist through adulthood.  

​

ADHD can impact a person's life in various ways, including:

  • hyperactivity

  • impulsiveness

  • disruptions in  emotional regulation

  • disruptions in motivation

  • inattention

  • disruptions in interpersonal relationships

​

While ADHD is a life-long condition, intervention and treatment can help people manage their traits manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
