ADHD
If you’ve ever felt like your brain is moving faster than everyone else’s—or like no matter how hard you try, it’s tough to stay organized, focused, or on track—you’re not alone. Over 8 million adults in the U.S. are estimated to live with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and more than 6 million children have been diagnosed. That’s nearly 1 in 10 people.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) doesn’t mean you’re lazy, broken, or incapable—it means your brain processes the world differently. And with the right kind of support, those differences can become strengths. At Headlight, we see you, we believe in your potential, and we’re here to help you find tools that work.
What is ADHD?
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, impulse control, and activity levels. While it’s often diagnosed in childhood, it’s not just a “kid” thing—many people reach adulthood without ever realizing that ADHD has been part of their story all along.
There are three main types of ADHD:
- Inattentive Type: Trouble staying focused, forgetfulness, disorganization, and difficulty following through on tasks
- Hyperactive-Impulsive Type: Restlessness, impulsivity, interrupting others, or difficulty sitting still
- Combined Type: A mix of both inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms
No two people with ADHD are exactly alike, and symptoms can show up differently depending on your age, environment, and coping strategies. You may have learned to mask the struggle, but that doesn’t mean you’re not working harder than most just to stay afloat.

Common Signs of ADHD
Some signs of ADHD include:
- Difficulty sustaining attention in tasks or conversations
- Frequent careless mistakes or forgetfulness
- Struggling with organization or time management
- Avoiding tasks that require sustained mental effort
- Fidgeting, restlessness, or difficulty remaining seated

What Causes ADHD?
There isn’t a single cause of ADHD. Research shows it’s influenced by a combination of genetic, neurological, and environmental factors, including:
- Brain development: Differences in brain regions that control attention, planning, and impulse regulation
- Neurotransmitters: Imbalances in dopamine and norepinephrine that affect how the brain processes motivation and focus
- Genetics: ADHD often runs in families, indicating a strong hereditary link
- Prenatal and early life factors: Premature birth, low birth weight, or prenatal exposure to alcohol, nicotine, or stress may increase risk
How We Treat ADHD at Headlight
At Headlight, we understand that ADHD impacts more than just focus—it affects your relationships, confidence, and sense of self. That’s why our care is personalized, holistic, and grounded in partnership.
We offer several treatment options that can be combined and tailored to your needs:
- Therapy: Our licensed therapists help you understand how ADHD affects your thoughts and behaviors. You’ll work together to build skills like time management, emotional regulation, and communication. Therapy also provides a supportive space to explore the emotional impact of living with ADHD, including stress, shame, and burnout.
- Medication Management: For many people, stimulant or non-stimulant medications can significantly improve focus and reduce impulsivity or restlessness. Our psychiatric providers will work closely with you to determine whether medication is a good fit and find the right approach for your body and goals.
- Spravato® (esketamine): In some cases, especially when ADHD overlaps with treatment-resistant depression, Spravato may be an option. This FDA-approved medication is administered in-office under medical supervision and may offer relief where other treatments haven’t helped.
Our providers will walk alongside you to explore what combination of support works best. Talk to your clinician about your experience and treatment goals—we’ll build a care plan together.

What is therapy?
Therapy offers a safe and confidential space for individuals to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. During therapy sessions, your Headlight therapist will actively listen and provide guidance and insights to help you better understand yourself, your relationships, and your challenges. Talk therapy can address a variety of mental health concerns, from anxiety and depression to trauma and relationship issues. Headlight’s clinicians are experienced in various therapeutic approaches and techniques and offer in-person or virtual sessions.
What is the difference between therapy and psychiatry?
Therapy, often provided by psychologists, social workers, or counselors, involves talking through emotional and psychological challenges to gain insight and develop coping strategies. Whereas, psychiatry, typically led by medical doctors, focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of mental health issues using medication alongside therapy when necessary. While therapy emphasizes conversation and behavioral strategies, psychiatry integrates medication management to address biochemical imbalances in mental health conditions.
Why is it so important to find the right therapist?
Finding the right therapist is so important as it establishes a foundation of trust, creating a safe space for open communication. A well-matched therapist can better understand your individual needs, ensuring personalized support and enhancing the effectiveness of the therapeutic process.
