Care for the Amherst community
Amherst's historic village and rural neighborhoods are home to many families who commute to Nashua, Manchester or Massachusetts. Parents often ask about anxiety, attention and pressure at school, and adults look for care that fits around work.
Diagnosed as an adult
It is common for adults to recognize ADHD after a child is diagnosed, or when a promotion or new baby makes old coping strategies stop working.
