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.
ADHD
According to the DSM-5, ADHD is divided into three presentations (American Psychiatric Association, 2013):
These symptoms must be present in more than one setting (home, school, work) and cause functional impairment to meet diagnostic criteria.
At PCI Centers, we take a comprehensive, individualized approach to diagnosing and treating ADHD.
If you live near Thousand Oaks and Westlake Village, and inattention, impulsivity, or hyperactivity are interfering with daily life, PCI Centers can help. With personalized, evidence-based care, individuals with ADHD can learn to manage symptoms, build confidence, and achieve their goals.
