Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/ADHD)
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD, is one of the most common disorders diagnosed in children. Nine percent of children in the USA have been diagnosed with ADHD. Symptoms, which include hyperactivity and difficulty maintaining focus or paying attention, can last into adulthood for some patients. Boys are four times as likely to be diagnosed as girls, although experts don't know why this is.
There are three main types of ADHD:
When diagnosing ADHD, it is important to rule out other issues that may be causing the symptoms. Seizure disorders, hearing loss, anxiety, and domestic problems are some examples of problems that can cause behaviors similar to those seen with ADHD.
Treatment can include stimulant medications, behavioral therapy to teach patients ways to navigate their world and control symptoms better, and accommodations at school or work. A structured environment (with lots of organization and well-defined rules) seems to help most kids with ADHD function at their best.
ADHD is mainly thought of as a disorder that affects children, but symptoms can last into adulthood for a third to half of those diagnosed. In adults, ADHD has similar symptoms as when it is seen in children: impulsive behavior, difficulty maintaining focus, being easily distracted, or a tendency to fidget. These symptoms can cause problems in a patient's careers and relationships. Additionally, adults with ADHD are at increased risk for substance abuse. Medications can be an important part of treatment for adults, as well as stress reduction techniques and organization skills training. Specialized ADHD coaches can help adults with ADHD manage their symptoms and succeed in all areas of their life.

I called to schedule as a new patient and was told to go fill out some new patient forms. Fine - every office does this, until you look at the forms. One of them is a blanket credit card authorization that includes any amounts not covered by insurance. When you ask them to help find out what the amount not covered by insurance is, you're met with "That's not my job ". Not only does every other provider out there help navigate insurance issues, they are extremely rude about it here. I would recommend staying far away from this practice. If you do have to go here for whatever reason, at least avoid "Sophie" like the plague. She's extremely rude and unprofessional. I did end up speaking with her supervisor "Kate", who is much more reasonable, but upon me asking for them to try to work with me, I find out they are apparently "in between medical billers" and her hands are tied. I honestly don't know how good Dr. Kalinian is, but she sure has problems managing a staff, which seems like a pretty big red flag for a neuropsychologist.
