Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects focus, impulse control, and energy levels. It’s often diagnosed in childhood but can persist into adulthood, impacting work, relationships, and self-esteem. At Nucleus Psychiatry Medical Inc., we offer comprehensive evaluations and customized treatment plans to help individuals with ADHD thrive.

Key Symptoms

Struggling to focus on tasks, frequently losing track of details, or becoming easily distracted by unrelated thoughts or stimuli.

Imp =Impulsivity

Acting without thinking, such as interrupting others, making hasty decisions, or difficulty waiting for one’s turn.

Hyperactivity

Excessive restlessness, fidgeting, or an inability to stay still, especially in situations where calm behavior is expected.
