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.
Papers, plans and priorities can pile up. Knowing where to start may take longer than expected.
Appointments, names or steps in a task may slip, even after you meant to remember them.
Frequently forgetting appointments, tasks, instructions, or everyday responsibilities.
You may speak, spend or decide quickly, then wish you had paused for a moment first.
Sitting through a meeting can feel hard. Your mind or body may want to keep moving.
Starting is one hurdle. Finishing a project can be another when interest fades midway.
Deadlines and details may slip when focus jumps from one demand to the next.
Interruptions, forgotten plans or a short temper can strain talks with people close to you.
Minutes can disappear. Arriving on time or judging how long a task takes may stay hard.
Bills, forms and household tasks may wait until the pressure feels urgent.
No single cause explains ADHD. It often runs in families, though genes are only part of the picture. Brain development and early life factors may also play a role. It is not caused by laziness or a lack of discipline. Anxiety, depression and poor sleep can look similar or occur alongside it. For an adult diagnosis, symptoms must have been present before age 12. A QbCheck screening may add information about attention, activity and impulsivity. That result supports an evaluation. It does not replace one.nimh.nih+1
ADHD care looks at the whole person: sleep, stress, relationships, physical health, other conditions and goals. Your plan is personalized and evidence-based, from a board-certified PMHNP, in Orlando or by telehealth across Florida.
Your story, history and daily functioning are reviewed together. A screening score is only one piece.
ADHD medication management may be discussed when medicine fits your health, sleep and daily needs.
Talking through routines, stress and follow-through may support care alongside other parts of your plan.
Later visits leave room for side effects, work changes and questions about what is helping.
The visit starts with your full story: focus, restlessness, sleep, health and daily demands.
From there, you and your provider discuss options that fit your needs and daily responsibilities.
Follow-up visits leave room for questions, side effects and changes in how the week is going.
Focus and follow-through can be talked through. Schedule Your Appointment or Call 407-616-1691. Visits are available in Orlando or by telehealth across Florida. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 or call 911.
