Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD/ADD)
At Animo Sano Psychiatry, we specialize in diagnosing and treating Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Our approach ensures that we understand each individual’s unique needs and provide tailored care to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
What is ADHD/ADD?
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interfere with daily functioning or development. While ADHD is commonly associated with children, it can also persist into adulthood, impacting professional and personal life.
Inattention may manifest as difficulty focusing, staying organized, or completing tasks, while hyperactivity and impulsivity may lead to restlessness, difficulty remaining seated, or interrupting conversations.
Symptoms of ADHD/ADD

While the exact cause of ADHD is not fully understood, several factors contribute to its development:

Brain Structure and Function
Differences in brain chemistry, structure, and connectivity.
