ADHD Treatment & Support in Idaho

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects both children and adults, often making it difficult to stay organized, maintain focus, or manage impulsive behaviors. At Bridges of Hope Psychiatry, we understand how overwhelming these challenges can feel, but with the right care, individuals with ADHD can thrive.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

What is ADHD?

ADHD, or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, is a neurodevelopment condition that can appear in childhood and continue into adulthood. It is typically characterized by patterns of:

  • Inattention – difficulty focusing, organizing tasks, or following instructions

  • Hyperactivity – restlessness, constant movement, or difficulty staying still

  • Impulsivity – interrupting, difficulty waiting turns, or acting without thinking

Left untreated, ADHD can affect school, work, relationships, and overall quality of life.

ADHD in Children and Adults

  • ADHD in Children: Often impacts academic performance, ability to follow directions, and interactions with peers.

  • ADHD in Adults: May present as chronic disorganization, difficulty managing time, challenges at work, and struggles in relationships.

Many adults don’t receive a diagnosis until later in life, even though symptoms have been present for years.

ADHD Medication Management

Medication can play a vital role in helping individuals with ADHD improve concentration, decrease impulsivity, and function more effectively day-to-day.

Common ADHD Medications We Prescribe Include:

  • Stimulants: Adderall, Adderall XR, Vyvanse, Ritalin, Concerta, Focalin, Dexedrine
