What is ADHD?

ADHD is a developmental disorder that affects concentration and triggers impulsive behaviors. Symptoms of the condition often become noticeable during childhood and can persist through adulthood, interfering with a person’s ability to work and maintain relationships.

Best NP Practice offers therapeutic solutions to manage ADHD symptoms in adults and children.

Our providers offer ADHD screenings in person and through online telehealth sessions. They design personalized care plans to help you or your child be successful in school, at work, and in relationships.

When should I schedule an ADHD screening?

Schedule an ADHD screening at Best NP Practice for your child if they have symptoms affecting their academic success or behaviors at home or socially. ADHD symptoms in children can include:

• Disorganization
• Lack of focus
• Constant fidgeting
• Impulsive or risky behaviors
• Inability to wait their turn
• Excessive talking and interrupting conversations

Symptoms of ADHD in adults are similar and may affect your personal life or ability to stay on task at work.

The providers at Best NP Practice can complete an ADHD screening in the office or over a secure connection on the online telehealth platform. They also review you or your child’s medical histories and the impact of ADHD symptoms on your life to better understand which treatments are needed.

How are ADHD symptoms managed?

Treatment for ADHD in adults and children includes psychological therapies like talk therapy (psychotherapy) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which help you recognize negative thought patterns and behaviors.

Our providers teach you tools you can use to improve your behaviors and thoughts so you can live a happier, more productive life. They can also provide resources for your child’s school and caregivers to ensure everyone can work together to support your child’s success.

When therapy isn’t enough to manage ADHD symptoms, the providers may prescribe medications to improve focus and calm impulsive, hyperactive behaviors. They continue to monitor you or your child’s progress with treatment to make sure your ADHD symptoms are manageable. 

Our providers offer ongoing therapy sessions in-office and online to make keeping up with your follow-up care appointments easier.
