What to know about ADHD
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder causes symptoms that affect your behaviors and ability to pay attention. The disorder often develops in childhood, but it can continue into adulthood.

Symptoms of ADHD can include:
- Forgetfulness

- Fidgeting

You may also struggle to keep up with your responsibilities and be prone to making poor decisions.
5 ways you can get your ADHD symptoms under control
Our providers at InSynch Health provide customized treatment plans for adolescents and adults. They offer treatments that can help reduce the severity of your symptoms, so you can better cope with your condition.
Your ADHD treatment plan may include:
- Stimulants
Stimulants are medications that can balance chemicals in your brain to improve your focus and ability to concentrate.
- Non-stimulants
Antidepressants and other non-stimulants may be an effective alternative for people who can’t tolerate stimulants. These medications can calm impulsive behaviors and ease other symptoms of ADHD.
- Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy (talk therapy) can help you organize your time and make healthier decisions. Your therapist can also provide tools to help improve your self-esteem and your relationships with family and friends.
- Cognitive behavioral therapy
Cognitive behavioral therapy can help you identify negative thoughts and behaviors, so you can make necessary lifestyle changes. This type of therapy provides you with tools to overcome your challenges and improve your behaviors, so you can be successful in school, at work, and at home.
- Family therapy
Family therapy provides supportive resources for you and members of your family who struggle with the challenges ADHD symptoms can cause. Our providers may recommend therapy sessions for all members of your family to improve your communication and strengthen the family dynamic as a whole.
Addressing other mental health issues
Many people with ADHD also live with low self-esteem and other mental health issues. If left untreated, these issues can increase your risk for self-harm and suicide.
Our medical team specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of mental health issues, including:
We customize a treatment plan using medications, psychological therapy, and other supportive resources to improve your mental health. You may also benefit from ketamine infusion therapy if traditional medications don’t work well, if you have treatment-resistant depression, or if you have anxiety.
Ketamine is an anesthetic medication that works directly on receptors in your brain to rapidly reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Infusions of ketamine into your bloodstream also build new neural pathways, so you can find long-lasting symptom relief.
