Understanding ADHD

A common experience — and a treatable condition

Approximately 4.4% of US adults experience attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Symptoms typically impair attention and organization, and may be accompanied by hyperactivity or impulsivity. ADHD can affect daily functioning at home, school, and work — but with the right support, meaningful improvement is achievable.

Treatment

Helping you return to full function

Treatment is often indicated if someone is experiencing a reduced quality of life or difficulty functioning in their usual way.

ADHD is typically treated with behavioral modifications, such as working with a psychologist or an executive functioning coach. Some patients may also benefit from medication treatment.
