Our Process
About ADHD
Living with ADHD can be challenging in school, work and home life. Those with ADHD may have a higher rate of unemployment and more conflict in relationships. Symptoms of ADHD can contribute to a decrease in occupational or scholastic performance and may even be interpreted as laziness, lack of responsibility or being uncooperative.
The exact causes of ADHD are unknown. A combination of factors such as brain anatomy and function, heredity and environmental factors may be at play. It’s important to understand that ADHD is not a reflection of how smart someone is or of their desire to succeed, participate in activities, or contribute to relationships.
Common treatments include medication, education and training in coping strategies.
The challenges of living with ADHD can be discouraging to the person with ADHD and their loved ones. Since everyone is unique, a treatment that works well for one person may not work as well for another. In addition, many of the commonly prescribed ADHD medications may have addictive potential. It's important to find new treatment options that work well and do not carry the risk of addiction.
