What is ADHD?
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects both children and adults. It’s characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that can disrupt daily life. For adults, ADHD can impact everything from work performance to personal relationships and overall well-being.
Recognizing ADHD Symptoms
ADHD symptoms can manifest differently in each individual.
According to the DSM-5, key symptoms include:
Inattention
Difficulty focusing, organizing tasks, following through on instructions, frequent forgetfulness, and being easily distracted.
Hyperactivity and Impulsivity
Restlessness, difficulty staying seated, excessive talking, interrupting others, and trouble waiting for one’s turn.
Challenges that people with ADHD face:
-> Daily Life: Struggling to prioritize tasks, feeling overwhelmed, and difficulty completing projects.
-> Time Management: Missed appointments, chronic lateness, and trouble meeting deadlines.
-> Relationships: Challenges in listening, frequent mood swings, and impulsive behaviors can strain personal connections.
-> Career: Inconsistent focus, disorganization, and poor time management can hinder job performance.
-> Finances: Impulsive spending and trouble budgeting may lead to financial instability.
-> Self-Esteem: Persistent challenges can cause feelings of inadequacy and low self-worth.
ADHD Treatment Options
Medication Management
Stimulants: Improve focus, attention, and impulse control. Common options include Adderall, Ritalin, and Concerta.
Non-Stimulants: These may be effective with fewer side effects, such as Strattera and Wellbutrin.
It’s essential to understand that not everyone requires medication. Anxiety, depression, or overwhelming responsibilities can also contribute to attention and focus issues.
Therapy Options
ADHD-Specific Supportive Therapy: Develop coping strategies, enhance time management, and build self-esteem.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Address underlying thoughts and behaviors contributing to ADHD symptoms.
We offer both medication management and ADHD-specific supportive therapy at Ruby Mental Wellness. If needed, we can connect you with specialized ADHD therapists or coaches.

How to Get Started with Our ADHD Treatment Services:
At Ruby Mental Wellness, we specialize in the assessment and treatment of ADHD and recognize that many psychiatric conditions share overlapping symptoms. To ensure a safe, thoughtful, and accurate diagnosis — especially when treatments may involve controlled substances — we follow a structured diagnostic process for ADHD evaluations.
Our process is designed for straightforward cases where ADHD is clearly indicated. In situations where the diagnostic picture is more complex (such as when trauma, mood disorders, or uncertainty about childhood symptoms are present), we may recommend formal psychological testing for greater diagnostic clarity.
We reserve our assessment services for individuals whose concerns fall within the scope of our evaluation tools and expertise. If we determine that additional testing is appropriate, we will guide you toward trusted providers who offer comprehensive neuropsychological assessments to support your care.
Step One
Intake Appointment
Begin with a psychiatric evaluation to discuss your symptoms, history, and treatment goals.
Step Two
ADHD Assessment
Complete a series of validated rating scales and, if positive, proceed with a clinical interview at your follow up with your provider. In some cases, we will ask you to complete neuropsychiatric testing through CNS Vital Signs to provide a comprehensive picture of your ADHD symptoms.
Note: While we accept most major insurances, computerized testing is typically not covered and costs $150.
Step Three
Follow-Up Appointment
Review the results with your provider, discuss your diagnosis, any additional referrals or testing that may be needed and create a personalized treatment plan.
Step Four
Ongoing Support
Receive medication management, therapy, or coaching tailored to your needs.
