ADHD Evaluation & Treatment
ADHD Evaluation & Treatment at Namaste Psychiatry is designed to give you answers, a plan, and genuine relief - not more confusion. If you are a high‑achieving woman who has always "held it together" on the outside while feeling scattered or exhausted inside, this is where we slow down and truly understand what is going on.
We begin with a thorough diagnostic interview, where we look at your current symptoms, medical history, family background, and how you function at work, school, and home. Because we are trained in both psychiatry and family medicine, we carefully consider medical conditions, hormones, and medications that can mimic or worsen ADHD, so you are not treated based on assumptions.
Next, we complete a focused ADHD diagnostic evaluation using evidence‑based criteria. We pay special attention to how ADHD shows up in women - perfectionism, overcompensating, chronic overwhelm, emotional sensitivity, and burnout - rather than relying only on the "hyperactive little boy" model many of us were taught.
From there, we create a personalized treatment plan. This can include ADHD‑specific medication options, practical strategies for focus and time management, and guidance for navigating school or workplace demands. We also talk openly about sleep, stress, hormones, and lifestyle so your plan supports your real life, not an idealized version of it.
By the end of the process, you gain clarity about your diagnosis, understand why your brain works the way it does, and leave with concrete next steps - not just a prescription. Our goal is simple: help you feel more organized, steady, and confident, so you can use your strengths without constantly fighting your own mind.
