What Is ADHD?
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects focus, impulse control, and activity levels. It is common in both children and adults, and while it can make school, work, and relationships challenging, it is very manageable with the right psychiatric care. We help families across Miami, Hialeah, Kendall, and Doral thrive.
ADHD often overlaps with anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders.
What Are the Symptoms of ADHD?
ADHD symptoms fall into two main categories.
Inattention:
- Difficulty focusing or staying on task
- Easily distracted or forgetful
- Trouble organizing tasks and managing time
- Losing important items
- Careless mistakes
Hyperactivity and impulsivity:
- Restlessness or fidgeting
- Difficulty sitting still
- Interrupting or talking excessively
- Acting without thinking
- Impatience
Adults may notice chronic disorganization, procrastination, and difficulty completing projects. If this resonates, contact us for an evaluation.
What Causes ADHD?
ADHD is largely biological. Contributing factors include:
- Genetics and family history
- Differences in brain structure and chemistry
- Prenatal exposures (such as tobacco or alcohol)
- Premature birth or low birth weight
ADHD is not caused by poor parenting, laziness, or lack of intelligence.
ADHD Testing and Diagnosis for Adults and Children
ADHD is diagnosed through a thorough psychiatric evaluation, not a single test. Nexida gathers a detailed history, reviews symptoms across settings (home, school, work), and may use standardized rating scales and questionnaires. For children, input from parents and teachers helps complete the picture. For adults, we look at lifelong patterns.
As a bilingual provider treating all ages, Nexida offers ADHD testing and diagnosis that is thorough and accessible for families from Coral Gables to Aventura and beyond.
