What is ADHD?

ADHD is a condition that impacts the brain’s ability to regulate attention, impulses, and activity levels. While often diagnosed in childhood, many adults also live with ADHD and experience challenges such as forgetfulness, restlessness, difficulty managing daily tasks, or sustaining focus for long periods. Symptoms can interfere with school, work, relationships, and overall well-being if left untreated.

For children, ADHD may appear as difficulty focusing in class or disruptive behavior, while adults often experience chronic disorganization, procrastination, or challenges meeting deadlines.

Grace at Direct Wellness RVA provides comprehensive evaluations to identify ADHD and its impact on your daily life. With a clear diagnosis, she helps patients create a personalized plan that improves focus, builds structure, and enhances daily functioning.

How is ADHD treated?

Effective ADHD treatment often combines behavioral strategies with medical management. Grace works with patients to establish healthy routines, improve sleep, and adopt tools for time management and organization. She also recommends supportive therapies, such as counseling or coaching, that can help manage emotional and behavioral aspects of ADHD. For parents, she provides education and resources to better support children at home and in school.

When medication is appropriate, Grace offers ADHD medication management, including initial prescribing, dose adjustments, and monitoring for effectiveness and side effects. She provides careful oversight to ensure that medication supports symptom relief without disrupting your lifestyle.

What can I expect from an ADHD visit?

During your first visit, Grace reviews your medical history, symptoms, and previous treatments. She may recommend diagnostic screenings or questionnaires to confirm ADHD. If medication is part of your plan, follow-up appointments—either in-office or via telehealth—are scheduled to monitor progress and make adjustments as needed.
