Understanding ADHD

ADHD affects focus, impulse control and activity regulation. Symptoms manifest differently across individuals. Some struggle primarily with inattention and disorganization, some with hyperactivity and impulsivity. Many experience combined presentations. Accurate diagnosis distinguishes ADHD from conditions that produce similar symptoms, including anxiety disorders, depression and sleep problems.

Our providers recognize that ADHD presents unique challenges at different life stages. Children and adolescents may struggle academically despite high intelligence. Adults may experience workplace difficulties, relationship conflicts and chronic feelings of underachievement.

Greenwich ADHD Services

Our team offers a range of ADHD therapies in Greenwich to address your needs:

  • Comprehensive diagnostic assessment: A thorough evaluation distinguishes ADHD from overlapping conditions through a clinical interview, behavioral rating scales, a review of developmental history and input from family members when appropriate.
  • Stimulant and non-stimulant medication management: Our ADHD psychiatrists in Greenwich prescribe FDA-approved medications, depending on a patient’s age and needs. We carefully monitor effectiveness and adjust treatment based on response and tolerance.
  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy and focus-training techniques: Evidence-based psychotherapy teaches practical strategies for time management, task initiation, organization and impulse control that can complement medication treatment.
  • Parent and family support sessions: We provide guidance for parents managing childhood ADHD and help families understand how attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder affects daily functioning, academic performance and relationships.

Adult ADHD Treatment Near Greenwich

Some adults discover ADHD later in life when work demands, relationship challenges or chronic disorganization prompt evaluation. Adult ADHD treatment requires specialized assessment that considers both childhood history and current functioning across multiple domains. Our psychiatrists also diagnose and treat adults whose ADHD went unrecognized during childhood.

Treatment for adults typically emphasizes medication management combined with executive function coaching tailored to workplace and personal life challenges. We help professionals develop systems for meeting deadlines, managing email and paperwork, maintaining focus during meetings and organizing complex projects.

For treatment-resistant ADHD, our practice offers advanced psychopharmacology approaches. We work closely with you to find effective solutions when initial approaches fall short, exploring alternative stimulant formulations, augmentation strategies or non-stimulant options.
