Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity, which can interfere with daily activities and executive functioning.
ADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders, affecting both children and adults. Seeking professional treatment is essential for improving focus, behavior regulation, and overall quality of life.
What is ADHD?
ADHD is a mental health condition that affects attention, impulse control, and executive function. It typically emerges in early childhood and can persist into adolescence and adulthood. The condition presents in different forms, including inattentive ADHD, hyperactive-impulsive ADHD, and combined-type ADHD. People with ADHD often struggle with sustained mental effort, organization, and social skills, which can impact academic performance, relationships, and career development. Effective ADHD treatment, including behavioral therapy and medication, can help manage symptoms.
Common symptoms include:
- Restlessness, fidgeting, excessive talking, difficulty staying still, and frequent movement.
- Inattention, distractibility, impulsive decision-making, difficulty following instructions, and challenges with executive functioning.
- Mood swings, frustration, difficulty managing emotions, impatience, and sensitivity to criticism.

Key signs of ADHD
ADHD symptoms vary but commonly include difficulty sustaining attention, forgetfulness, impulsivity, hyperactivity, and trouble with executive function. People with inattentive ADHD may struggle with organization and staying focused, while those with hyperactive-impulsive ADHD may experience restlessness and difficulty waiting their turn. Without proper support, ADHD can impact daily activities, school performance, and relationships.
Primary causes of ADHD
ADHD is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic, neurological, and environmental factors. Differences in the prefrontal cortex, which controls attention and impulse regulation, contribute to challenges with executive functioning. While ADHD is not caused by parenting style or diet, structured behavioral treatments and supportive interventions can help manage symptoms effectively.
Treatment options for ADHD
ADHD treatment often includes a combination of behavioral therapy, ADHD medication, and structured support systems. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help people develop coping strategies, while stimulant and non-stimulant medications assist with focus and impulse control. Physical activity and lifestyle adjustments can also improve attention and emotional regulation. For those needing additional support, intensive outpatient programs (IOP) provide structured therapy and behavioral health interventions tailored to ADHD management.

In their words
“I have never been one to do therapy because I had never tried it. I came to Charlie Health because I felt like I was drowning. I was being held under and could not come up for air. What brought me to Charlie Health was the trauma I experienced during my daughter’s birth. I came into Charlie Health not thinking I could get out of the hole I was in. But through the weeks and the skills, I was taught how to manage and cope with my diagnosis and learn how to set goals and crush them!! I have gone above and beyond my expectations and am now ready to start my next chapter of this journey of mental health. As a previous non-believer or action taker on my mental health, I can truly say that Charlie Health and its program taught me skills I knew I had but reminded me how to use them. It has shown me that it will always be a journey; there will be good times and bad times, it’s how you choose to navigate through the times and the journey. Every day is a new day, and every day, I can choose to do better for myself and my family! This journey does not end here! It will continue to be the way I live. I now can accept that some days just might be harder than others, and that’s okay!! I am teaching myself and my children how to better understand life and why we are here! I will continue to search within myself to find my purpose in this lifetime now. This is only just the beginning. I have so much more to do and see!! I am meant for way more than just this. I am changing many generations of patterns, and doing it the best I know how to, while being guided a little along the way. I have had multiple “awakenings” through the years, I just didn’t know what they were then… but now I am back on the right path and ready to soar! I have found myself again, my personality is back and shining brighter than ever. I have a newfound love for my family and my adventures that are going to come because of the growth and healing I have done! This is your reminder that you can do anything as long as you put in the work, and continue to put in the work!!”
