Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects both children and adults. It can manifest as difficulty concentrating, hyperactivity, and impulsive behaviors that interfere with daily life. ADHD is not simply a matter of inattention or fidgeting—it is a complex condition requiring tailored care to help individuals thrive.
At Lonerock Clinic in Eugene, we are dedicated to supporting individuals with ADHD through effective and compassionate care, including expert medication management.
