ADHD Medication

Treatment recommendations are individualized based on symptoms, goals, medical history, and patient preferences.

Treatment may include:

Medication Management

When appropriate, medication can significantly improve attention, focus, organization, and daily functioning. I carefully review benefits, risks, and treatment options with each patient and monitor progress over time.

Behavioral Strategies

Medication is often most effective when combined with practical systems and habits that support executive functioning.

Therapy Collaboration

For patients already working with a therapist, I welcome collaboration to ensure treatment remains coordinated and aligned with overall goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Are stimulant medications the only treatment option?

No. Treatment plans are individualized and may include stimulant medications, non-stimulant medications, behavioral strategies, therapy, or a combination of approaches.

  • Can ADHD look like anxiety?

Yes. ADHD and anxiety frequently overlap, and symptoms can sometimes appear similar. Careful assessment helps clarify what may be contributing to your difficulties.
