Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Management

Understanding ADHD

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurological condition that affects children, adolescents, and adults. It can cause difficulties with attention, organization, impulse control, and emotional regulation. While ADHD can impact daily life, work, school, and relationships, effective treatment can significantly improve quality of life.

ADHD is considered one condition with three presentations (not separate disorders):

  • Predominately Inattentive Presentation
  • Predominately Hyperactive-Impulsive Presentation
  • Combined Presentation

Our Approach

At Atlanta Neurology, we provide a comprehensive, personalized evaluation and treatment plan for patients with ADHD. Our team of neurologists, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants work together to ensure that each patient receives care tailored to their needs. Our clinic can diagnose and treat ADHD. We will also take over medical care of previously diagnosed ADHD patients to ensure continuity of care.

Evaluation

  • Detailed medical and behavioral history
  • Cognitive and neurological assessments including on-site testing
  • Review of prior testing, school/work reports, and medical records
  • Screening for associated conditions (such as anxiety, depression, or learning difficulties)

Treatment Options

We use an evidence-based, multimodal approach, which may include:

  • Medication Management

    Both stimulant and non-stimulant medications are available, carefully prescribed and monitored to ensure safety and effectiveness. If prescribed stimulant medication, patients are required to be seen for follow-up appointments at three-month intervals per federal regulations

  • Behavioral & Lifestyle Strategies

    Practical tools to improve organization, time management, sleep habits, and stress reduction.

  • Collaborative Care

    Coordination with schools, therapists, and other providers to create a supportive environment. Accommodation(s) or other recommendations may be advised to maximize patient success specifically at school and work.
