Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental condition that can affect both children and adults. Characterized by symptoms such as difficulty focusing, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, ADHD can impact academic performance, work productivity, and personal relationships. Fortunately, effective treatment options are available to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

At Ease Psychiatry, we provide telehealth treatment for ADHD to residents of Portland, Oregon. Our team of licensed professionals offers personalized therapy, medication management, and evidence-based strategies to help individuals with ADHD thrive in their daily lives—all from the convenience of home.

Understanding ADHD

ADHD is commonly diagnosed in childhood, but it can continue into adulthood, often with a variety of symptoms that affect a person’s ability to focus, organize, and manage tasks. The key symptoms of ADHD include:

  • Inattention – Difficulty staying focused, forgetfulness, disorganization, and trouble following through on tasks.
  • Hyperactivity – Excessive movement, difficulty sitting still, fidgeting, or talking excessively.
  • Impulsivity – Acting without thinking, interrupting others, and making hasty decisions without considering consequences.

While these behaviors are common in everyone at times, individuals with ADHD experience these symptoms to a degree that significantly impacts their daily life, school, work, and relationships.

Symptoms of ADHD

ADHD symptoms can present differently in children, adolescents, and adults, but typical symptoms include:

  • Inattention:

    • Easily distracted by external stimuli.
    • Trouble organizing tasks and activities.
    • Difficulty following through with assignments or instructions.
    • Frequently forgetting appointments or losing items.
  • Hyperactivity:

    • Fidgeting or squirming.
    • Difficulty remaining seated in situations where it’s expected.
    • Excessive talking or moving.
  • Impulsivity:

    • Interrupting conversations or others’ activities.
    • Impulsive decision-making or risk-taking behavior.
    • Difficulty waiting for a turn in group settings.

If these symptoms are present consistently and cause difficulties in daily life, professional treatment can offer significant improvements.

Telehealth Treatment for ADHD in Portland, Oregon

At Ease Psychiatry, we offer personalized ADHD treatment through secure telehealth services, making it easier for Portland residents to receive expert care without the need to travel. Our treatment approach is based on the latest research and may include:

Behavioral Therapy for ADHD

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Helps individuals with ADHD identify negative thought patterns and develop coping strategies to stay organized and reduce distractions.

Medication Management for ADHD

Medications are often an effective part of ADHD treatment and can help improve focus, reduce hyperactivity, and manage impulsive behavior. Our telehealth providers offer personalized medication management, including:

  • Stimulant Medications – The most commonly prescribed medications for ADHD, including methylphenidate (e.g., Ritalin, Concerta) and amphetamine salts (e.g., Adderall, Vyvanse). These medications improve focus and decrease impulsivity.
  • Non-Stimulant Medications – For those who do not respond well to stimulants, medications such as atomoxetine (Strattera) or guanfacine (Intuniv) may be prescribed to help manage symptoms.

Our telehealth providers monitor medication effectiveness and side effects to ensure the right medication and dosage for each individual.

Lifestyle and Holistic Support

In addition to therapy and medication, we emphasize lifestyle changes and holistic strategies to improve overall functioning:

  • Sleep hygiene – Establishing healthy sleep routines to improve focus and energy levels.
  • Exercise and physical activity – Incorporating regular physical activity to reduce restlessness and improve mood.
