Some issues Dr. Robert Lawrence Bierman, MD can help you with:

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, is one of the most common disorders diagnosed in children. It is characterized by hyperactivity and difficulty maintaining focus or paying attention. ADHD may last into adulthood for some patients. Boys are more likely to be diagnosed with this condition than girls, although medical experts are unsure why this is. ADHD symptoms include:

Forgetfulness in home, school, and work activities
Inability to sustain focus for longer periods of time
Frequent distraction by other stimuli
Tendency to fidget and squirm
Excessive talk and movements

There are three main types of ADHD:

Predominantly hyperactive-impulsive types show symptoms such as constant fidgeting, talking non-stop, touching everything, having trouble sitting still and waiting their turn, and interrupting others.
Predominantly inattentive types are easily distracted or bored. They may wander off during tasks, forget instructions, daydream, or appear not to be listening. This type sometimes goes undiagnosed as children with it are not hyperactive and may have few behavioral issues.
Combined types show symptoms from both categories. This type is the most common type of ADHD.

Treatment can include stimulant medications and behavioral therapy to teach patients ways to navigate their world and control symptoms better. In addition to treatment, accommodations at school or work can greatly help people with ADHD improve their productivity and confidence. A structured environment (with lots of organization and well-defined rules) seems to help most children with ADHD function at their best.

ADHD is mainly thought of as a disorder that affects children, but symptoms can last into adulthood for many. In adults, ADHD has similar symptoms as when it is seen in children: impulsive behavior and difficulty maintaining focus. These symptoms can cause problems in both 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 learning stress reduction techniques and organization skills. Specialized ADHD coaches can help adults with ADHD manage their symptoms and thrive in life.

Bipolar Disorder

Commonly known as manic-depressive illness, bipolar disorder is a serious mental condition characterized by extreme changes in mood. Individuals with this disorder experience emotional highs, or manic episodes, and lows, or depressive episodes. These episodes are distinct periods that are separate from the moods they may usually feel.

During manic episodes, individuals may:

Feel very happy and energetic
Speak very fast and about many different topics
Become much more active than usual
Have trouble sleeping
Engage in impulsive behavior, like spending a large sum of money

In contrast, depressive episodes may bring about:

Sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness
Very low energy and activity levels
Forgetfulness and trouble concentrating
Loss of appetite
Thoughts of death or suicide

Episodes may be a mixture of both manic and depressive symptoms. In such an episode, individuals with bipolar disorder may feel sad, empty, and hopeless but have a high level of energy at the same time. Sometimes, changes in mood are less dramatic. For example, individuals may feel happy and think everything is fine, but people around them may notice their mood changes. Episodes like this are called hypomania. If an individual is hypomanic and does not receive proper treatment, their condition will likely worsen.

Generally considered a lifetime illness, the disorder begins in the late teen or early adult years. Bipolar disorder has no known cause, but research has shown that it tends to run in families. To diagnose it, a psychiatrist carefully assesses an individual's moods and behavior patterns. They may also be asked to keep a daily record of their moods and other factors that can help with diagnosis and determining the right course of therapy. Counseling is a typical form of treatment, as is a group of medications that can control symptoms, called antipsychotics.

I'm at an age when I need to keep up with health checkups (retired).  Dr. Berman has always been positive and supportive and interested in understanding my health needs.  Easy to talk with during appointments and quick to respond to my written inquiries. I've recommended him to family and friends.

Overall Rating: 5.0 2022-12-27

I've been with Dr. Bierman for two years.  I'm very satisfied with his attention to my health needs.  In that time, I've had regular checkups and on two occasions needed help with urgent health concerns.  He showed great interest in my needs and has also been very supportive with general health counseling.  Overall, happy to continue with him as my doctor.  I've recommended him to two people
