If you are suffering from any of several minor mental illnesses you can get the help you need to live a normal, balanced life. Leading Atlanta psychiatrist, Dr. Darvin Hege is certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology as well as the American Society of Addiction Medicine. He opened his solo practice in Atlanta for treating adults and adolescents for psychiatric and substance abuse problems immediately after completing his psychiatric residency at Emory University.

Dr. Hege is a leading Adult ADHD specialist in Atlanta, so if you are concerned you or someone you know may be struggling with Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Dr. Hege is the perfect person to reach out to. Unfortunately, when people think of ADHD they think of hyperactive children, or worse, they are skeptical that it exists as a true mental disorder. The reality is that ADHD affects 4.4% of adults as well as children. The main symptoms of ADHD include inattention, distractibility and impulsivity. While many times these symptoms were present in childhood, they do not become a real problem until they manifest in adulthood.

Being overwhelmed, depression, feelings of anxiety and constant stress are many factors that can stimulate the possibilities of ADHD. If left untreated, these symptoms could lead a person to turn to alcohol, drugs or other medication abuse.

Diagnosing ADHD can be a challenge because the symptoms of ADHD often overlap other disorders so it is important that you have an experienced Adult ADHD specialist like Dr. Darvin Hege. Dr. Hege has extensive experience diagnosing ADHD and treating it with the best choice of medication.

To put it in perspective, ADHD and bipolar disorder occur together 30% of the time. Adult ADHD generally has a higher focus on inattentiveness instead of hyperactivity so medication is the predominant treatment suggested. On the other hand, psychotherapy may be suggested to help resolve some of the psychological and social consequences of the disorder.
