Adult ADHD affects 4.4% of adults. Typically, Adult ADHD symptoms include inattention, distractibility and impulsivity. Dr. Hege can prescribe you the right medicine for you whether you need long acting, short acting or some other type of medication, he can help prescribe exactly what you need.
Often times, Dr. Hege’s medicines helps inattentiveness somewhat more than hyperactivity. Hyperactivity, more often than not, is not typically the problem in terms of Adult ADHD. Rather it is impulsivity and inattentiveness that are the major concerns.
This is because as adults, we accumulate an increasing number of burdens and responsibilities. These statistically include marriage, family, jobs and finances. The brain’s ability to filter and prioritize the multitude of demands placed upon it can be very overwhelming. We are constantly being expected to be responsible adults and modulate our anger and fears as well as listening to and hearing our spouses and bosses when we get explicit and implied instructions.
Dr. Hege recognizes this and prescribes only the medications that he knows will help including Vyvanse, Adderall, Ritalin or Concerta.
Psychotherapy is often least helpful in improving the core symptoms of ADHD, however it can be helpful in resolving the psychological and social consequences of the disorder, especially once the medications has reduced the core symptoms.
