frequently asked questions
Are ADHD medications addictive?
While stimulant medications are widely known, there are also highly effective non-addictive, non-stimulant medication options available for ADHD management.
What treatments exist for ADHD besides medication?
Comprehensive ADHD treatment often incorporates targeted lifestyle modifications and executive-function ADHD coaching. Dr. Gelber provides referrals to experienced ADHD coaches.
Do I have ADD or ADHD?
“ADD” is no longer an official diagnostic term in medical manuals. It has been subsumed under the formal clinical umbrella of ADHD (Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder), which accounts for both inattentive and hyperactive/impulsive presentations.
What if my symptoms involve more than just ADHD?
ADHD symptoms frequently overlap with or co-occur with other mental health conditions. Dr. Gelber possesses specialized expertise in differentiating ADHD from other conditions and managing common co-occurring diagnoses, such as OCD, autism spectrum conditions, and substance use disorders.
