ADHD Management for Adolescents & Adults
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that impacts attention, impulse control, and organization, significantly affecting performance at school, work, and in relationships. Cyndia Milord-Giordani, PMHNP-BC, specializes in providing clarity and structure to those navigating life with ADHD.
My focus is on comprehensive, functional treatment that not only addresses core symptoms but also equips you with practical strategies to excel, combining psychiatric evaluation, medication management, therapy, and telehealth.
Development of Functional Support
Successful ADHD treatment requires a functional approach, understanding how executive function deficits impact daily tasks. We initiate care with a detailed psychiatric evaluation to confirm the diagnosis and screen for co-occurring issues. The treatment plan centers on medication management to optimize focus and psychotherapy for developing efficient organizational systems, time management, and emotional regulation.
Can adults be diagnosed with ADHD?
Yes, absolutely. Many adults are diagnosed later in life when demands of career, parenting, and finances make their long-standing symptoms unmanageable.
How does medication management differ for ADHD vs. depression?
ADHD medication management primarily focuses on stimulants or non-stimulants to enhance executive function and focus, distinct from the agents used for mood regulation.
What kind of therapy is used for ADHD?
Therapy focuses on practical skill-building, organizational systems, cognitive restructuring related to self-esteem, and coaching for emotional regulation.
Are telehealth appointments effective for ADHD management?
Yes. Virtual appointments are highly effective for all aspects of ADHD care, including medication checks, skill coaching, and reducing the stress of getting to an appointment.
