Understanding ADHD: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment

Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects focus, impulse control, and the ability to manage tasks or daily routines. While ADHD is most often diagnosed in children, it can continue well into adulthood—or go unrecognized altogether. At Alice’s Psychiatry & Wellness, we offer compassionate, evidence-based care for individuals with ADHD, helping clients of all ages develop strategies for focus, emotional regulation, and productivity.

ADHD isn’t simply about being easily distracted. It’s a complex, brain-based condition that can impact school, work, relationships, and self-esteem. Recognizing the signs early and finding the right treatment approach can greatly improve quality of life and long-term outcomes.

The Different Types of ADHD

ADHD Is Not One-size-fits-all. The Condition Presents In Different Ways Depending On How Symptoms Show Up In An Individual.



The Diagnostic And Statistical Manual Of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) Categorizes ADHD Into Three Main Types

Inattentive Type: Individuals often struggle with staying focused, following through on tasks, remembering details, and staying organized. They may appear forgetful or easily distracted.
Hyperactive-Impulsive Type: This type involves physical restlessness, impulsive actions, difficulty sitting still, and frequent interruptions. These behaviors are more outwardly visible and commonly noticed in children.
Combined Type: The most common presentation, involving a mix of inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms. Individuals may struggle both with concentration and with controlling impulses or hyperactivity.
