ADD vs. ADHD
ADD (attention deficit disorder) is an outdated term. The official diagnosis is now ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder). What people used to call ADD is now ADHD-inattentive type, which involves attention challenges without the hyperactivity.
What Is ADHD Treatment?
Expert guidance that helps you understand how ADHD affects your focus, impulse control, and responses
Practical strategies for managing time, organizing tasks, and building systems that work long-term
Medication options to improve focus and reduce impulsivity when behavioral strategies alone aren’t enough
Program-based structure that turns overwhelming goals into achievable action steps that meet you where you are
How Does ADHD Therapy Work?
CBT is one of the most effective forms of ADHD therapy. It helps you understand patterns like missed deadlines, impulsive choices, or mood disturbances and find better ways to respond. The work is practical and collaborative. You try out strategies between sessions and report back on what works or doesn’t, then adjust your approach over time.

What Causes ADHD?
ADHD is associated with differences in brain development and the way certain areas of the brain manage attention, movement, and planning. Genetics is thought to play a significant role, as ADHD can run in families. Stressful environments and inconsistent routines can make ADHD symptoms more noticeable, but they aren’t the sole cause of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
Common ADHD Symptoms
ADHD symptoms fall into three broad areas: inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Some of the most widely experienced signs include:
- Trouble staying focused or finishing tasksw
- Losing items like keys, phones, or paperwork
- Restlessness or difficulty sitting still for long periods
- Getting easily sidetracked, even during important activities
- Interrupting, blurting out answers, or acting without thinking
- Struggling with time management or always feeling “behind”
- Quick shifts in mood or frustration when things don’t go as planned
Types of ADHD We Treat

Mostly related to focus, forgetfulness, and organization.

More visible restlessness and acting quickly without much pause.

FAQs
Can adults be diagnosed with ADHD if they were never tested as kids?
Yes. Many adults are diagnosed later in life when work, school, or family demands highlight long-standing ADHD symptoms. Research shows that around 2.5% of people have ADHD that persists into adulthood. This highlights the importance of tailored treatment in managing this condition, regardless of age.
Does ADHD look different in women?
Often, yes. Women are more likely to experience inattentive symptoms. This includes overwhelm, forgetfulness, or trouble staying organized, rather than the more obvious hyperactive traits. Because of this, ADHD in women is frequently overlooked or misdiagnosed, and many don’t receive help until adulthood.
Do all people with ADHD need medication?
No. Some people benefit from ADHD meds, while others focus on therapy and skills-based support. Treatment plans are tailored to you.
Can ADHD and anxiety or depression occur together?
Yes. It’s common to see ADHD along with anxiety or depression. We design ADHD programs that address all of those concerns together.
