ADHD

Diagnosis and evidence-based medication management for adult ADHD — FDA-approved options, current screening tools, careful titration.

ADHD care at Embrace Psychiatry

Diagnosis and evidence-based medication management for adult ADHD, including FDA-approved options. We work in evidence — current screening tools, careful titration, and honest conversations about sleep, training load, and cognitive demands.

We don't overprescribe and we don't withhold appropriate care out of fear. Either approach fails the patient. Instead, we assess, document, monitor, and adjust.

What an ADHD evaluation looks like

  • Structured diagnostic interview covering childhood symptoms, academic and occupational history, current functional impact.
  • Validated screening instruments (ASRS, plus collateral when appropriate).
  • Rule-out of common impostors — untreated sleep apnea, depression, anxiety, substance use, thyroid disease.
  • Prescription monitoring program checks and fully compliant prescribing when medication is clinically indicated.

Treatment philosophy

Start with what works fastest with the least risk. First-line FDA-approved medications are well-established for most adults with confirmed ADHD. Alternative FDA-approved options are available when first-line is contraindicated, ineffective, or unwanted.

We talk about sleep, training, caffeine, and screen time as actual variables — not "lifestyle suggestions" tacked onto a script.

Comorbid anxiety, depression, or insomnia? We address what's driving the functional impairment, not just the ADHD label.
