Understanding ADHD
ADHD involves patterns of inattention and/or hyperactivity–impulsivity that interfere with functioning or development. Symptoms may present differently across the lifespan and between individuals.
MindVibe clinicians assess attention, organization, task completion, and impulse control within a comprehensive psychiatric, educational, and social context.
MindVibe’s ADHD Evaluation Process
Following DSM-5 and APA guidance, MindVibe clinicians use a structured process:
Structured Clinical Interview
We review childhood and current symptoms, academic/work history, relationships, and day-to-day functioning.
Developmental and Educational History
We explore school performance, learning challenges, and prior evaluations.
Differential Diagnosis
We distinguish ADHD from or evaluate co-occurrence with:
- Anxiety disorders
- Depression
- Trauma-related symptoms
- Sleep disorders
- Substance use
- Medical conditions affecting cognition
Collateral Information (When Appropriate)
With your consent, collateral information from parents, partners, or prior records may support a more accurate assessment.
Evidence-Based Treatment Options for ADHD
Treatment recommendations follow established ADHD guidelines.
Medication Management
Clinicians may consider:
- Stimulant medications – often first-line treatment in many ADHD guidelines, when clinically appropriate and safe
- Non-stimulant medications – options for patients who do not tolerate or prefer not to use stimulants, or have specific clinical considerations
Medication decisions are individualized and take into account medical history, cardiovascular risk, substance use history, and personal preferences. Careful monitoring is provided, particularly during initial titration and dose adjustments.
Behavioral and Organizational Strategies
- Task breaking and structured routines
- Use of calendars, reminders, and digital tools
- Environmental modifications (minimizing distractions)
- Time management strategies and prioritization
These practical supports are often critical alongside medication.
Therapy Collaboration and Coaching
Many individuals benefit from:
- ADHD-focused coaching
- CBT focusing on planning, organization, and pacing
- Skills-based therapy to support emotional regulation and productivity
MindVibe clinicians can coordinate care with therapists or coaches who provide these services.
When ADHD Symptoms Require Additional Evaluation
While ADHD itself is not typically an emergency, associated concerns may require prompt attention, such as:
- Severe depression
- Suicidal thoughts
- Substance misuse
- Risky impulsive behaviors that could result in harm
If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. You can also call or text 988 for crisis support.
