Understanding ADHD

Distractibility. Impulsiveness. Hyperactivity.

The world is full of distractions and interruptions. Everyone has trouble focusing sometimes, and we’ve all make some bad decisions. But when these issues interfere with the ability to succeed in the classroom or workplace, they could be signs of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

ADHD, also called Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), affects about 1 out of 10 children, making it one of the most common problems kids face. And many adults grow up without realizing how ADHD has played and continues to be a significant factor in their life quality.

Although there’s no “cure” for ADHD, it can be successfully treated. Pine Rest helps children and adults with ADHD live the healthiest lives possible.

The first step is an accurate diagnosis at the Psychological Consultation Center.

Our team of doctoral-level psychologists uses methods developed by internationally recognized scientists and clinicians to reach a complete understanding of the situation.

Your assessment will cover child development, family history, school or work experiences, attention impulse control and functioning. Our experts will also screen for other disorders that impact the diagnosis. When the assessment is finished, they will review the results with you and provide a written report to share with your doctor, your schools and others.

The next step is treatment.

Our network of outpatient clinics throughout Michigan helps those with ADHD by treating all aspects of a person’s emotional, mental, physical and spiritual well-being.
