What is ADHD?

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that often causes behavioral challenges starting in childhood which can continue into adulthood. These challenges can negatively affect a person’s academic success, job performance, and relationships.

Risk factors for ADHD can include premature birth, low birth weight, and exposure to toxins during pregnancy. Brain injuries can also contribute to the development of ADHD.

MB Wellness Associates offers therapeutic care for adults and adolescents with ADHD. The team of nurse practitioners provides hands-on treatment and individualized care plans to support positive behavior changes to better control ADHD symptoms.

When should I schedule an ADHD assessment?

You can schedule a diagnostic evaluation at MB Wellness Associates for yourself or your child to help manage ADHD symptoms like:

• Restlessness
• Impulsiveness
• Excessive talking
• Difficulties with concentration
• Decision-making challenges

ADHD can also contribute to risky behaviors and difficulties resisting temptations despite a negative outcome.

The MB Wellness Associates team provides age-appropriate ADHD assessments for children and adults. They review you or your child’s personal and family medical history and evaluate current symptoms. 

The team also works closely with you or your child to confirm or rule out mental and emotional health conditions that can cause similar symptoms.

How is ADHD treated?

MB Wellness Associates offers customized ADHD care plans to keep you or your child’s symptoms well controlled. The team specializes in several therapy techniques, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), that help you recognize negative thoughts and behavior patterns.

They also provide you with therapeutic tools you can use to optimize your overall health and minimize the frequency and severity of ADHD symptoms. If therapy and lifestyle changes aren’t enough to manage you or your child’s ADHD symptoms, the providers may recommend medications.

Prescription stimulants work directly on the chemicals in your brain to calm impulsivity and enhance concentration. MB Wellness Associates also provides medication management resources to ensure the safe and effective use of psychiatric medications.

During each therapy session, the team evaluates your progress with treatment. They can also offer additional resources for your child’s school and caregivers so everyone can support your child’s success at home and in school.
