What is ADHD?

What might cause ADHD?

The cause of ADHD isn’t known. However, factors that appear to increase the chance of developing it include family history of ADHD, environmental toxin exposure, premature birth, and smoking, drug use, or alcohol use during pregnancy.

How does my mental health specialist diagnose ADHD?

Dr. Parmar determines if you have ADHD after reviewing your symptoms, medical history, behaviors, and thoughts during a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. This provides him with a more in-depth assessment of your mental health needs and treatment preferences.

How is ADHD treated?

Counseling and medication management are common treatments for ADHD. Dr. Parmar offers cognitive behavioral therapy and other forms of psychotherapy, ADHD prescription medicines to improve focus, and lifestyle modification counseling to help you sit still and stay organized. 

Using a calendar, making lists, exercising regularly, and getting plenty of sleep are examples of lifestyle changes commonly used to treat ADHD. Follow a healthy diet by eating nutrient-dense foods and avoiding foods containing a lot of additives.

Dr. Parmar follows up with you to ensure your ADHD treatment effectively helps you succeed at school, work, or in your everyday routine.
