What Is ADHD?

ADHD — Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder- is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how the brain regulates attention, impulses, and activity levels. It’s not about being lazy or not trying hard enough. It’s a real medical condition that makes everyday tasks significantly harder.

At MindWell Psychiatric Services, we provide expert ADHD treatment in Las Vegas for both adults and children. Whether you’ve struggled with focus your whole life or are just starting to wonder if ADHD might explain your challenges, we’re here to help you get answers and find solutions that work.

Understanding ADHD

ADHD isn’t just a childhood condition; it affects millions of adults, too. Many people don’t get diagnosed until adulthood, often after years of struggling with work, relationships, and daily responsibilities without understanding why.

ADHD is rooted in brain chemistry. The areas of the brain responsible for executive function, planning, organization, impulse control, and attention work differently in people with ADHD. This isn’t a character flaw or a lack of willpower. It’s neurology.

The good news is that ADHD is highly treatable. With proper diagnosis and the right treatment plan, most people see significant improvement in their ability to focus, stay organized, and manage daily life.

How ADHD Affects Daily Life

ADHD doesn’t just make it hard to pay attention. It impacts nearly every area of life:

Work and school — Missing deadlines, difficulty completing projects, trouble staying organized, underperforming despite intelligence
Relationships — Forgetting important dates, not listening during conversations, impulsive comments that hurt others
Finances — Impulsive spending, forgetting to pay bills, difficulty planning for the future
Time management — Chronic lateness, underestimating how long tasks take, procrastination
Daily tasks — Losing keys, forgetting appointments, starting projects but never finishing them

Without treatment, ADHD can lead to frustration, low self-esteem, and missed opportunities. But with the right support, people with ADHD can thrive.

Signs and Symptoms of ADHD

ADHD symptoms fall into two main categories: inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity. You don’t need to have all symptoms, and symptoms can look different in adults versus children.

Inattention Symptoms:

Difficulty sustaining focus on tasks
Easily distracted by unrelated thoughts or stimuli
Trouble listening when spoken to directly
Failing to follow through on instructions or finish tasks
Difficulty organizing tasks and managing time
Avoiding tasks that require sustained mental effort
Frequently losing things
Forgetfulness in daily activities

Hyperactivity/Impulsivity Symptoms:

Fidgeting, tapping, or squirming
Difficulty staying seated when expected
Feeling restless or always “on the go”
Talking excessively
Blurting out answers before questions are finished
Difficulty waiting your turn
Interrupting or intruding on others

Adult-Specific Signs:

Chronic lateness and poor time management
Relationship difficulties due to inattention
Underachievement at work despite capability
Difficulty managing finances
Low frustration tolerance
Mood swings and emotional reactivity

Types of ADHD

ADHD presents differently in different people. Understanding your type helps us create a more targeted treatment plan.

Primarily, difficulty with focus, organization, and follow-through. Less hyperactivity or impulsivity. Often described as “daydreamy” or “spacey.” This type is frequently missed or diagnosed late, especially in women and girls.

Primarily restlessness, fidgeting, and impulsive behavior. Less difficulty with attention. More common in young children and often becomes less prominent with age.

Significant symptoms of both inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity. This is the most common presentation of ADHD.

Adults with ADHD may have developed coping mechanisms that mask symptoms, making diagnosis trickier. Hyperactivity often presents as internal restlessness rather than physical fidgeting. Many adults aren’t diagnosed until their 30s, 40s, or later.

Children with ADHD may struggle in school, have difficulty following rules, and experience social challenges. Early diagnosis and treatment can make a significant difference in long-term outcomes.

ADHD rarely travels alone. It commonly co-occurs with anxiety and depression. If you’re experiencing symptoms of multiple conditions, a comprehensive evaluation can identify what’s really going on.

If these symptoms have been present since childhood and significantly impact your daily life, it may be time for a professional evaluation.

When to Seek Help

Many people wonder if their struggles are “bad enough” to warrant an evaluation. If you’re asking the question, the answer is probably yes.

Consider reaching out if:

- You’ve always struggled with focus, organization, or impulsivity
- You’re underperforming at work or school despite trying hard
- Your relationships suffer because of forgetfulness or inattention
- You feel like you’re not living up to your potential
- Daily tasks feel overwhelmingly difficult
- You’ve developed anxiety or depression alongside attention issues
- A teacher, partner, or doctor has suggested you might have ADHD

Getting evaluated isn’t about getting a label, it’s about getting answers. And answers open the door to real solutions.

How MindWell Treats ADHD

At MindWell Psychiatric Services, we take a thorough, personalized approach to ADHD treatment. We don’t rush to prescribe medication — we start by understanding your unique situation.

Comprehensive ADHD Assessment

Your treatment begins with a detailed evaluation. We’ll discuss your symptoms, history (including childhood), and how ADHD impacts your current life. This helps us make an accurate diagnosis and rule out other conditions that can mimic ADHD.

Medication Management

For many people, medication is a highly effective part of ADHD treatment. Stimulant medications (like Adderall and Ritalin) and non-stimulant options can significantly improve focus, impulse control, and daily functioning. We carefully select and monitor medications to find what works best for you.

Genetic Testing

Not sure which medication will work? Genetic testing can analyze your DNA to identify which ADHD medications are most likely to be effective and well-tolerated. This reduces trial and error and helps you find relief faster.

Personalized Treatment Plans

ADHD treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all. We consider your specific symptoms, lifestyle, work demands, and goals. Whether you need help with focus at work, managing daily tasks, or controlling impulsivity, we build a plan around your needs.

Ongoing Support

ADHD is a lifelong condition that benefits from ongoing management. We provide regular medication management appointments to monitor your progress, adjust dosages, and address any concerns. You’re never left to figure it out alone.
