What is ADHD? ADHD, or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, is a condition that affects how the brain works. It can make it hard to focus, stay organized, control impulses, or sit still. ADHD looks different in everyone—some people feel very restless, while others mainly struggle with paying attention. With the right support and strategies, people with ADHD can thrive and succeed.
How Does Psychiatry Help with ADHD? Psychiatry helps by diagnosing ADHD and creating a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. This often includes medication to improve focus, impulse control, and energy levels. Psychiatrists also work closely with therapists, educators, and families to provide support and strategies that help manage symptoms. The goal is to help you improve attention, organization, and daily functioning so you can reach your full potential.
A Reflection of a Deeper Problem​
Trouble Paying Attention
Trouble Paying Attention
You might find it hard to stay focused, especially on tasks that take time or feel repetitive—like reading, listening in class, or completing work. It’s easy to get distracted by sounds, thoughts, or things around you. You may also miss details, make careless mistakes, or forget instructions.
Impulsivity
You may say or do things without thinking them through—like blurting out answers, interrupting people, or making decisions too quickly. This can sometimes lead to accidents, social misunderstandings, or frustration for you and those around you.
Hyperactivity
Feeling like you always need to move, even when it's not appropriate. This might look like fidgeting, tapping, talking a lot, or having trouble sitting still. In adults, it can feel more like inner restlessness rather than visible movement.
Difficulty with Organization and Follow-Through
ADHD can make it hard to manage time, stay organized, or finish tasks. You might lose things often, jump from one activity to another, or struggle with planning ahead—even if you’re trying your best.
