Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopelopmental condition that can present in inattentive or hyperactive behaviors that interfere with day to day activities.

Common symptoms of ADHD are: 

  • Struggling to pay attention to details

  • Trouble meeting deadlines

  • Cluttered home and workspace

  • Difficulty making decisions

  • Feeling emotionally overwhelmed

  • Trouble finishing tasks and assignments

  • Poor time management and conception of time

  • Hyperfocusing on one task for long periods of time

  • Impulsivity

  • Difficulty following instructions

  • Perfectionistic Tendencies

A person may be struggling with some or all of these symptoms, but getting the proper treatment is crucial for managing symptoms and thriving in your day to day. 

ADHD in women is frequently overlooked due to the difference of how symptoms look in men and women. Women diagnosed with ADHD often experience internal symptoms that are not easily noticeable such as difficulty concentrating, procrastination, feeling emotionally overwhelmed, and forgetfulness. Women with untreated ADHD are at a higher risk of mental health and physical health problems than women without ADHD. Undiagnosed or untreated ADHD can lead to further distress including depression, anxiety, low self confidence , difficulty in relationships,  and increased substance use.

Whether you have an official ADHD diagnosis or suspect that you have ADHD, our therapists at HealATL are here to help you. Our therapists work with teens, men, and women struggling with ADHD.
