Correct Diagnosis and Treatment Can Make All the Difference

ADD, Attention Deficit Disorder – and ADHD, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder – are due to an imbalance in brain chemistry. The condition affects children, adolescents and adults.

Davisson Clinic, LLC is one of the few facilities that conducts comprehensive evaluations and also has a Medical Director (licensed physician) to prescribe and monitor the treatment.

Correct diagnosis and treatment are key. Prescribing for ADD is as individualized as prescribing glasses. When the precise dosage of medication is prescribed, which corrects the specific chemical imbalance in the brain, there is often a swift and dramatic improvement.

The Clinic monitors our patients’ progress monthly to ensure balance of medication is found for the individual. The proper treatment of ADD can result in more appropriate behavior, better learning and higher self-esteem. In adults treatment can mean the difference between success and failure or underachievement and reaching their full potential. We offer on-line and in-house testing for Attention Deficit Disorders.

Our online testing includes all the psychological testing as well as a consultation with Dr. Harvey Davisson.

Our ADD Evaluation includes:

  • Free Screening Computerized testing
  • Comprehensive Developmental History Diagnostic interview with Dr. Davisson
  • Interview with Medical Doctor
  • Prescription for preliminary medications (when applicable)
  • Medication adjustments (within first 30 days)
  • Optional psychological follow-up sessions
  • Feel free to take our free on-line screening test

The Davisson Clinic, LLC has a onsite staff of M.D.’s and D.O.’s.  Should medication be the chosen course of treatment the Davisson Clinic can meet your full needs for an individual or the entire family.

ADHD – A Profile

Families and ADD/ADHD

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a chronic, lifelong disorder with childhood onset, which seriously impairs the affected adults in a variety of daily living functions including:

• educational
• occupational functioning
• partnership
• parenting

ADHD is associated with a high percentage of other psychiatric disorders.

As an adult between 65–89% of all patients with ADHD suffer from one or more additional psychiatric disorders including:

• mood and anxiety disorders
• substance use disorders
• personality disorders mainly anti-social

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is characterised by chronic problems in attention and impulse control, age-inappropriate hyperactive behavior as well as emotional dysregulation like temper outbursts or mood swings.

A significant proportion of patients with the disorder also present with one or more additional psychological conditions.

The high percentage of comorbid psychiatric disorders in adults with ADHD is similar to the findings for children in which ADHD is associated in about 60–100% of all cases.

These include oppositional defiant disorders in 50–60%,
depressive syndromes in 16–26 % and
anxiety disorders in about 15% of all children with ADHD as

Also present are tic disorders and developmental disorders like reading and spelling disorders

The presence of comorbid disorders in adults with ADHD can create a stronger overall impairment with a poorer outcome and greater resistance to treatment as well as higher costs of illness.

All retrospective studies evaluating the lifetime prevalence of major depression consistently show that 35–50% of all adult individuals with ADHD suffer from one or more depressive episodes during the assessed lifespan a percentage which is higher than the risk in the general population of about
15%.
