Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a mental health condition that interferes with your ability to concentrate, make decisions, and control your impulses. While ADHD is most often diagnosed in children, many adults struggle with ADHD symptoms. If you are diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, you may have had the condition for years, but managed to cope and adapt to your symptoms.
ADHD symptoms are slightly different in adults than in children. Most adults with ADHD don’t display the hyperactivity that’s common in younger patients. However, as an adult, you may struggle with attentiveness, decisiveness, and impulse control.
Some common symptoms of ADHD include:

Dr. Yana Bekker begins with a comprehensive evaluation that includes your medical and psychiatric history, along with a thoughtful assessment of your overall mental and physical health. When appropriate, lab work may be recommended to rule out underlying medical or hormonal factors that can contribute to attention and mood symptoms.
Once a clear understanding of your needs is established, Dr. Bekker works collaboratively with you to develop an individualized treatment plan. This may include medication management to support focus and emotional regulation, as well as targeted lifestyle strategies such as improving sleep, increasing physical activity, and optimizing nutrition.
In addition, therapy or skills-based interventions may be recommended to help strengthen executive functioning, including time management, organization, and emotional regulation.
The goal is to provide a balanced, evidence-based approach that addresses both symptoms and the underlying factors contributing to ADHD, helping you function more effectively in your daily life.
