Understanding ADHD

At PCI Centers, we recognize that Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is more than occasional distraction or restlessness. ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, impulse control, and activity levels. While often diagnosed in childhood, many individuals continue to experience symptoms into adolescence and adulthood.

ADHD can interfere with academic achievement, career success, relationships, and self-esteem—but with the right support, individuals can thrive.

Types of ADHD

According to the DSM-5, ADHD is divided into three presentations (American Psychiatric Association, 2013):

  • Predominantly Inattentive - difficulty sustaining focus, disorganization, forgetfulness, and frequent careless mistakes
  • Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive - restlessness, fidgeting, interrupting, and difficulty waiting turns
  • Combined Presentation - a mixture of both inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms

Common Symptoms of ADHD

  • Trouble sustaining attention in tasks or conversations
  • Frequently losing items, missing details, or being forgetful in daily activities
  • Fidgeting, restlessness, or difficulty staying seated
  • Talking excessively or blurting out answers
  • Difficulty organizing tasks or managing time effectively
  • Feeling easily frustrated or impatient

These symptoms must be present in more than one setting (home, school, work) and cause functional impairment to meet diagnostic criteria.

PCI’s Approach to ADHD Treatmen

At PCI Centers, we take a comprehensive, individualized approach to diagnosing and treating ADHD.

  • Comprehensive Assessment - We use structured clinical interviews and, when indicated, psychological testing to confirm an ADHD diagnosis and identify co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, depression, or learning disorders.
  • Therapy - We provide evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), executive functioning coaching, and skills-based approaches to improve organization, time management, and emotional regulation.
  • Medication Coordination - When appropriate, we collaborate with prescribing providers to integrate stimulant or non-stimulant medications that support attention and impulse control.
  • Family & Educational Support - For children and adolescents, we work closely with families and schools to provide behavioral strategies, advocacy, and psychoeducation.
  • Holistic Care - Mindfulness practices, sleep hygiene, and structured routines help clients strengthen focus and manage symptoms in daily life.
