What is ADHD?

ADHD can impact attention, executive functioning, and emotional regulation. In adults, it often presents as difficulty sustaining focus, managing tasks, making decisions, and regulating impulses. Many individuals are diagnosed later in life after years of developing coping strategies that become harder to maintain.

What are the symptoms of ADHD?

Symptoms in adults may include:

  • Difficulty sustaining attention or completing tasks
  • Disorganization and poor time management
  • Frequent misplacing of items
  • Impulsivity or difficulty delaying decisions
  • Forgetfulness and careless mistakes
  • Low frustration tolerance and irritability
  • Difficulty managing stress or multiple responsibilities

 

If these symptoms are interfering with work, relationships, or daily functioning, evaluation is recommended.

How is ADHD treated?

Dr. Bekker provides a comprehensive assessment to clarify diagnosis and identify contributing factors. Treatment is individualized and may include medication management, ongoing monitoring, and targeted lifestyle strategies such as optimizing sleep, activity level, and structure.

Coordination with therapy or skills-based interventions may also be recommended to strengthen executive functioning, including organization, time management, and emotional regulation.

With appropriate treatment, many individuals experience improved focus, productivity, and overall functioning.
