Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder(ADHD) Psychiatrist in San Diego

If you find yourself constantly disorganized, late, forgetful and overwhelmed by your daily activities, you may be suffering from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

ADHD affects the prefrontal cortex of the brain, where all of our planning and decision-making functions occur. Left untreated, the disorder can hinder everything you do in your daily life, from school to career to relationships.

While ADHD presents challenges to living a rewarding and prosperous life, don’t worry! Fortunately there are proven solutions. Our treatments have been clinically proven to help stabilize symptoms of ADHD and allow you to have the life that you deserve.

A psychiatrist can treat ADHD using a variety of methods. Perhaps the most well-known is the prescription of medications like Concerta or Adderall to improve focus and attention. But a psychiatrist can also help you work on behavioral strategies and coping skills, and collaborate with parents and other professionals to create a treatment plan that fits your unique needs. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach,, so regular check-ins and adjustments to the treatment plan help ensure better functioning and wellbeing for individuals with ADHD.

Children with ADHD often also have learning disorders and behavioural problems, which makes the diagnostic process very important. Early intervention holds the key to positive outcomes for your child.

The earlier you address your child’s problems, the more likely you will be able to prevent school and social failure and associated problems such as underachievement and poor self-esteem that may lead to other issues.

Our ADHD treatment plan helps reduce negative behaviours and increasing skills so the child can feel competent and successful with peers, in the classroom, at home, and on the sports playing field.
