About Attention Deficit Disorder

Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), now more commonly referred to as Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), is not a single medical procedure but a neurodevelopmental condition managed by a psychiatrist through a comprehensive, personalized treatment plan. This plan is a multi-modal approach that typically involves a detailed diagnostic assessment, behavioral therapy, psychoeducation, and often medication management. The psychiatrist's role is to accurately diagnose the condition by evaluating symptoms, ruling out other causes, and then creating a tailored strategy to improve focus, reduce impulsivity, and enhance organizational skills. This ongoing management aims to help individuals achieve better functioning at school, work, and in personal relationships, improving overall quality of life.

PATIENT REVIEW

As a 72-year-old retired classical dancer...

As a 72-year-old retired classical dancer with treatment-resistant depression, I'd lost all joy in life until Dr. Kurinjinathan introduced me to novel neuromodulation therapy. His integration of movement therapy with medication completely transformed my recovery, I'm now teaching dance to seniors with mental health challenges.
