ADHD

What Is ADHD?

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that may involve persistent difficulties with attention, organization, impulsivity, and/or hyperactivity. Symptoms can look different from person to person and may continue from childhood into adulthood.

At StarMaris Advanced Psychiatry Care, we take time to understand your symptoms, developmental history, daily functioning, work or school challenges, and overall mental health before recommending an individualized treatment plan.

Difficulty Focusing

Trouble staying attentive during tasks, conversations, reading, or other activities.

Disorganization

Difficulty managing schedules, responsibilities, deadlines, or personal belongings.

Forgetfulness

Frequently forgetting appointments, tasks, instructions, or everyday responsibilities.

Impulsivity

Acting or speaking quickly without fully considering the consequences.

Restlessness

Feeling physically or mentally restless or having difficulty remaining still.

Difficulty Completing Tasks

Starting activities but struggling to stay focused long enough to finish them.

How ADHD May Affect Daily Life

Work & School

Attention and organization difficulties may affect productivity, deadlines, performance, and task completion.

Relationships

Forgetfulness, impulsivity, or difficulty listening may create communication challenges.

Time Management

Planning, prioritizing, and estimating how long tasks will take may be difficult.

Daily Responsibilities

Household tasks, appointments, finances, and routines may become harder to manage consistently.

Possible Causes & Risk Factors

ADHD is believed to involve a combination of genetic, neurological, developmental, and environmental factors.

  • Family history of ADHD
  • Differences in brain development and functioning
  • Certain early developmental factors
  • Premature birth or low birth weight
  • Exposure to certain environmental factors during development
  • Coexisting learning or mental health conditions

ADHD is not simply caused by poor motivation, lack of discipline, or personality.
