How do you diagnose ADHD in adults?

We use a comprehensive evaluation including clinical interview, validated rating scales, developmental history, and ruling out other conditions that can mimic ADHD symptoms.

Do you prescribe stimulant medications for ADHD?

We can prescribe stimulants when clinically indicated and after thorough evaluation. We also offer non-stimulant alternatives and integrative approaches for patients who prefer or require them.

Can adults be newly diagnosed with ADHD?

Absolutely. Many adults are diagnosed for the first time in their 30s, 40s, or beyond. Our providers have extensive experience evaluating and treating adult-onset ADHD presentations.

Can you treat ADHD without stimulant medications?

Yes. We offer non-stimulant medications, integrative psychiatry approaches, nutritional optimization, and lifestyle interventions as effective alternatives to stimulants.

Does pharmacogenetic testing help with ADHD medication selection?

Yes. PGx testing can identify which ADHD medications your body metabolizes optimally, helping select the most effective option with the fewest side effects from the start.

Can ADHD co-occur with anxiety or depression?

Yes. ADHD frequently co-occurs with anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders. We address all co-occurring conditions in a comprehensive, integrated treatment plan.

Beyond Stimulants

The Role of TMS Therapy in ADHD

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, medication-free option that uses targeted magnetic pulses to strengthen activity in prefrontal brain regions responsible for focus, executive function, and impulse control. For patients who experience side effects from stimulants or prefer a non-pharmacological path, TMS can be a valuable addition to the care plan.
