What is ADHD?

ADHD is a disorder that affects your attention and behaviors. The condition often starts in early childhood and can persist into adulthood, affecting careers, relationships, and other aspects of daily life.

Untreated ADHD can also increase risk factors for other mental health issues, including anxiety and depression. With treatment, children and adults can learn how to cope with ADHD challenges, so they can thrive mentally, emotionally, and behaviorally.

Lost Creek Medical offers comprehensive ADHD screenings for adults and kids through a direct primary care (DPC) membership plan. The affordable monthly fee gives you and your family access to personalized ADHD treatments and supportive resources.

Dr. Bubis takes a whole-person approach to ADHD care. He offers no-rush appointments, so you have time to ask questions and learn about your treatment options.

When should I schedule an ADHD screening?

Schedule a screening for yourself or your child if symptoms of ADHD are present and interfering with life at home, school, or work. Symptoms in adults and children can include:

• Fidgeting
• Restlessness
• Disorganization
• Difficulties paying attention
• Inability to take turns
• Excessive talking and interrupting conversations

Children with ADHD may also have trouble staying still and might run around inappropriately at home or in school and other public places. Adults with ADHD may struggle to stay on task at work or might engage in reckless behaviors. 

ADHD screenings involve a series of questions about your or your child’s habits, behaviors, and challenges. Dr. Bubis may also request blood work or other diagnostic tests to rule out medical issues that affect behaviors.

How is ADHD treated?

Lost Creek Medical provides individual care plans for people with ADHD. Initially, Dr. Bubis may refer you to behavioral therapy, which helps you identify and change unhealthy behaviors.

Therapy can also provide resources that your family, your child’s teachers, and other caregivers can use to support a loved one with ADHD.

If therapy isn’t enough to manage ADHD symptoms, Dr. Bubis may prescribe medications like stimulants to enhance your focus and ease restlessness and hyperactivity. He continues to monitor you or your child’s progress with treatment during follow-up visits and adjusts your care plan as necessary.
