What Should I Know About ADHD?
ADHD is a multifaceted condition with symptoms that evolve over time. Children might exhibit signs of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, affecting their academic performance and social interactions. Adults, on the other hand, might struggle with time management, organization, maintaining relationships, and workplace productivity. Recognizing the breadth of these symptoms is the first step toward effective management:
- Persistent difficulties in maintaining focus on tasks or activities
- Excessive anxiety that interferes with daily functioning
- Challenges in staying engaged while reading or during conversations
- Frequent feelings of restlessness and an inability to relax
- Issues with memory and following detailed instructions
- Significant disorganization and a propensity to misplace things
- Habitual procrastination and failure to meet deadlines
- Chronic lateness and difficulties managing time efficiently
- Tendencies toward impulsiveness, leading to hasty decisions without considering consequences
- Struggles with addiction, indicating potential coping mechanisms for underlying ADHD symptoms
- A noticeable lack of motivation affects personal and professional life
With a notable prevalence of anxiety alongside ADHD, it’s vital to approach treatment holistically, addressing both the core symptoms of ADHD and the associated emotional challenges.

I didn't want to consult a psychiatrist because my lifestyle demanded mental health therapy. I thought I could do it all, handle it all, and be the superwoman everyone thought I was and my family expected of me...anxiety and depression took over my life and I tried everything to rise above it. In my 20s, I was diagnosed with ADHD. Left untreated, the symptoms tormented my life and hurt people I loved. Dr. Maitra is compassionate and the best psychiatrist around. She helped me understand I had a biological imbalance, not just a mental illness. She gave me the strength to share my journey without shame. Dr. Maitra has also been helping me with other private concerns, so I'm confident and hopeful I can overcome these too. Her office is gorgeous and her team handles the important aspects! I would recommend her to anyone who needs a second or third opportunity, is hesitant about a diagnosis, fears judgment, or has lost hope!
She's humble and kind. If you trust her, she can change your life too!
