If you receive an ADHD diagnosis, it will be delivered during an appointment with a clinical specialist and accompanied by a detailed report outlining suggested next steps, such as recommendations for medication, therapy, ADHD coaching, lifestyle adjustments, or other tailored support resources. Our team is here to guide you through these options and help you manage your ADHD effectively.
An ADHD diagnosis does not automatically mean you will need medication; ADHD treatment is highly personalized and may include options like therapy, ADHD coaching, and lifestyle changes instead of or alongside medication. Your clinical specialist and your healthcare provider will collaborate with you to decide the most suitable ADHD treatment based on your specific needs and preferences.
Non-medication ADHD treatment options include ADHD coaching to help develop practical skills and strategies, therapy (like cognitive-behavioral therapy), lifestyle adjustments such as exercise and diet changes, and behavioral interventions to enhance organization, time management, and focus. These treatments can be customized as part of a comprehensive ADHD treatment plan tailored to your needs.
