How is attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder diagnosed?
ADHD symptoms can mimic those of other conditions like anxiety and depression, so it’s critical to see an ADHD psychiatrist when seeking a diagnosis. The providers at Lumos are expertly trained in spotting the behaviors and symptoms that differentiate ADHD from other mental health conditions, so you can be confident that your diagnosis is accurate.
When we work with patients who think they may have ADHD, we will request a full medical workup so we can rule out any underlying medical conditions that may be contributing to symptoms.
We will also conduct a psychological screening and ADHD test to help us pinpoint what’s causing your ADHD symptoms.
Treatments for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder

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!
