Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Individuals with ADHD can manage their condition effectively with accurate diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan. Some may benefit from behavioral strategies alone, while others require a combination of therapy and medication.
Dr. Filipovic-Jewell conducts a comprehensive assessment when evaluating adults for ADHD. This process includes a diagnostic clinical interview, behavioral rating scales, and developmental history review to understand each patient’s unique challenges and strengths.
Upon establishing an ADHD diagnosis, Dr. Filipovic-Jewell employs evidence-based treatments that may include stimulant or non-stimulant medications, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), lifestyle modifications, and academic or workplace accommodations. Psychopharmacologic treatment involves close monitoring of the medication’s effectiveness and potential side effects.
ADHD symptoms can vary from person to person, and can include the following:
- Difficulty focusing and completing tasks
- Disorganization
- Forgetfulness
- Frequently misplacing objects
- Restlessness and fidgeting
- Impulsive decisions
- Emotional dysregulation and/or low frustration tolerance
If you or your loved one experiences some or all these symptoms, consider scheduling a consultation to determine if ADHD might be a reason.
