Understanding Adult ADHD
While Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is often associated with childhood, it’s a condition that frequently persists into adulthood—sometimes undiagnosed for years. Adult ADHD can impact focus, emotional regulation, work performance, and relationships. At NY Mental Health Center, we specialize in identifying and treating ADHD in adults, using a compassionate, evidence-based approach designed for real-world results.
Our experienced clinicians understand that adult ADHD is often more subtle than in children, yet no less disruptive. Many adults seek help for anxiety, depression, or stress—only to discover that ADHD is the root cause. If you’re struggling with distractibility, procrastination, disorganization, or emotional volatility, our team is here to help.
Common Symptoms of Adult ADHD
- Difficulty concentrating or staying on task.
- Frequent forgetfulness or losing items.
- Poor time management.
- Restlessness and difficulty relaxing.
- Emotional outbursts or mood swings.
- Impulsive decision-making.
- Trouble prioritizing or following through.
- Chronic procrastination.
- Strained relationships due to irritability or inattention.
These symptoms can vary widely, but they all interfere with daily life. That’s why our team offers both diagnostic clarity and personalized support.

How We Treat Adult ADHD
1. Personalized Evaluation
We begin with a thorough assessment, including diagnostic interviews and symptom tracking. This helps us determine whether ADHD is present and how it's affecting your life.
2. Individualized Treatment Plans
Treatment typically includes one or both of the following:
- Medication Management
Our psychiatrists may prescribe stimulant or non-stimulant medications to help regulate attention, reduce impulsivity, and manage emotional symptoms. All decisions are made in close consultation with you, with an emphasis on safety, effectiveness, and overall well-being. - Psychotherapy & Coaching
Our psychologists work with you to develop strategies for improving organization, time management, emotional regulation, and self-esteem. Therapy can also address related issues like anxiety or depression, which commonly occur alongside ADHD.
3. Ongoing Support & Lifestyle Tools
We don’t stop at diagnosis or medication. We help you build long-term coping strategies—routines, planners, habit tracking, and more—to sustain progress in daily life.
