He is one of the most experienced psychiatrists who specialize in ADHD and no one in Atlanta understands it or the affects it has on people like Dr. Hege does. He understands that while it may have been present in childhood, the symptoms would not have been predominant until the stresses and burdens of life start to overwhelm a mind bogged down by ADHD. Dr. Hege knows that the real problem in Adult ADHD is inattentiveness so he goes after that harder than others with medication he knows will work.

Dr. Hege also goes after addiction just as hard. He has been helping patients with substance abuse problems for over 38 years and evaluates patients with substance abuse problems to recommend the most effective methods for resolving the problem.He even has a network of outpatient substance abuse therapists, as well as inpatient and outpatient recovery programs to recommend.
