Adult ADHD
More than one in ten adults have been diagnosed with ADHD. Rest assured – you are not alone. At Louisville ADHD, we will help you realize your full potential in a relaxed, judgment-free setting.
When people hear “Attention Deficit Disorder,” many times they feel it doesn’t describe them. After all, they can focus for hours on things that interest them.
The issue isn’t a deficit of attention, rather, a regulation of attention. This more appropriately describes the spectrum.
In adults, ADHD can manifest itself in many different ways, most of which can cause a lot of trouble at home, work or school.
Symptoms of ADHD in adults:
-
Difficulty paying attention
-
Difficulty concentrating
-
Difficulty staying on task
-
Anger
-
Impulsivity
-
Disorganization
-
Procrastination
-
Forgetfulness
-
Poor time management
-
Anxiety
-
Depression
On one end of the spectrum, some have difficulty paying attention to one thing and staying on task. The smallest distraction can lead them away from the task at hand, such as deciding to shoot basketball when they should be packing the car for their trip in the morning.
On the other end of the spectrum, many adults will become so hyper-focused on the task at hand that they completely “zone out.” They forget their other responsibilities, such as picking up the kids or remembering when they said they were going to be home for dinner.
Wherever you may be on the spectrum, it may cause a great deal of issues in personal relationships or occupational success.
The good news is it IS possible to be free of distractions and forgetfulness and reach your full potential. Dr. Walker has treated thousands of adult ADHD patients, and can do the same for you.

What Our Patients Say
Dr. Walkers ADHD program combined with the medication has been very effective in improving my life with ADHD, provided I follow through and apply the tools given to my day to day life.

I can’t share enough about the outstanding service Dr. Walker and staff have provided. I had spent much of my life unaware of how my thought and behavioral patterns were impacted by ADD. Dr. Walker spent several hours with me to help advance my understanding. While under his care, I have been promoted multiple times at work, launched a new business, and been nominated as President of a local institution. My life has benefited greatly by Dr. Walker and I highly recommend him.
