How is ADHD diagnosed?

To diagnose ADHD, your My Psych Health specialist calls you during your scheduled appointment time. They discuss your medical history and lifestyle. Your provider also inquires about your medications, moods, thoughts, behavior patterns, ability to pay attention, emotions, and more before tailoring your treatment plan.

How is ADHD treated?

My Psych Health offers the following ADHD treatments virtually:

Lifestyle change counseling

Your mental health specialist helps you adopt strategies to stay organized, pay attention easier, and focus better. You might keep a calendar, make to-do lists, develop a regular routine, and get regular exercise and plenty of sleep.

Medications

When you have ADHD, taking medications makes it easier to focus and sit still. Your specialist tailors each medication regimen to your needs and offers management to ensure your treatment works effectively.
