What is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Attention Deficit Disorder(ADD)?
To most adults, all children seem a source of boundless energy and limited focus. How can you tell for sure if your child has a problem with attention, concentration, and keeping themselves still?
dults who find themselves moving from job to job, having difficulty with a new job, or struggling with going back to school often find themselves wondering about Attention Disorders. Sometimes, when their children are diagnosed with ADD or ADHD they start to wonder about themselves. When these adults were children, they were often mislabeled as “lazy,” “unmotivated,” “careless,” "daydreamers” or even “stupid.” They were not given the benefit of what we know today.

Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
I have over 30 years' experience assessing and helping treat attention issues. First, we must determine if it is really ADD, or ADD with another issue, or simply another problem that interferes with attention and focus. Then, we design a set of interventions to address the actual underlying problem(s). Unfortunately, I often seen kids and teens who have been medicated for ADD but who don't actually have it. I'm not against medication, just against it if the patient doesn't actually have ADD. One of my articles: https://www.atlantapsych.com/article/addressingattention

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in ADHD, I take a comprehensive and personalized approach to treatment. This involves thorough assessment to understand the individual's unique strengths, challenges, and needs. Through evidence-based interventions such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), behavior modification techniques, and psychoeducation, I empower clients to manage their symptoms effectively. Collaborating closely with clients, families, and other professionals, I create tailored strategies to improve organization, time management, and impulse control. Additionally, when appropriate, I integrate medication management into the treatment plan to address specific symptoms. My goal is to support individuals with ADHD in maximizing their potential, enhancing self-esteem, and achieving success in various aspects of their lives.
