Adult ADHD Program
Adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common condition affecting more than 4 percent of adults in the United States—many who remain undiagnosed and untreated. Without proper diagnosis and care, ADHD can create personal and professional difficulties, including relationship problems, substance abuse, and problems at work and school.
Specialists at NYU Langone Psychiatry Associates offer comprehensive diagnostic and treatment services for ADHD, including:
- comprehensive diagnostic evaluations
- medication consultation and management
- individual and group cognitive behavioral therapy
- neuropsychological testing
Led by program director Dr. Lenard Adler, our specialized adult program is unique in the New York metropolitan area. Our staff has been instrumental in designing screening and symptom assessment tools for the World Health Organization (WHO) to identify individuals at risk for adult ADHD, including the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale Symptom Checklist and the Adult ADHD Self-Report Screener.
Our specialists also offer online doctor visits through the NYU Langone Health app. The app is a secure and confidential platform that allows our doctors to provide personalized care to patients who want to work with their care team remotely or at flexible times.
