ADHD and Anxiety

ADHD and anxiety occur together in about 50% of patients. If you are experiencing symptoms listed above, as well as constant worry or sleeplessness, you may be suffering from ADHD and anxiety. Dr Maitra will work with you to create an ADHD treatment plan that addresses both issues simultaneously.

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.

Lumos Clinical has been a God send for my Wife and I. Dr Maitra is someone who is extremely intelligent and qualified in her field and she is also very compassionate and understanding.She has a way of getting through to people, empathizing with them and really helping them. Then there is Riya, and if you are lucky enough to speak to her, you already know she exhibits the upmost compassion, empathy and care. She was a large reason I chose to take my Wife to Lumos and it led us to an amazing Dr and rest of staff.

Julia T.

I cannot express how great my appreciation is for the staff and Doctors at Lumos Clinic. Dr Maitra and Swati have changed my view of psychiatric help because of their unending kindness and accommodation- I can schedule appointments over text increasing the likelihood I will get help. If you’re looking for help then I can’t recommend this clinic more. Dr Maitra has a diverse background working with a wide variety of patients, she’s incredibly smart, non-judgemental and has made the difference for me when other doctors in San Jose couldn’t.

Eric D.

Dr Maitra has been treating our son who has an eating disorder. She is the first doctor that my son has liked and she has had a lot of successes with our son. She is flexible and hard working and her staff is very professional. She has good instincts and incites. Strongly recommended.
