How ADHD changes with age
Younger children may be constantly on the move. Teenagers often struggle with long assignments and planning. Adults describe procrastination, lost items, missed deadlines and feeling restless in meetings.

ADHD support in Claremont
Parents of students at Stevens High School and Claremont Middle School often ask us about homework, focus and accommodations. Among adults, manufacturing, healthcare and retail workers sometimes find that organization gets harder as responsibilities grow. We also see students at River Valley Community College who find coursework harder to manage than expected.
Care for the Claremont community
Claremont residents often have limited local access to psychiatry. Our secure video visits help close that gap, and in-person visits in Salem can be arranged when needed. Patients who work across the river in Vermont should schedule video visits while they are in New Hampshire.
Steps in an ADHD evaluation
- Rating scales completed by you and, for children, parents and teachers
- A history of attention and behavior since early childhood
- Screening for anxiety, depression, sleep and learning problems
- A review of report cards or earlier testing
Getting care from Claremont
Our office is in Salem, about an hour and 45 minutes from Claremont, so most Claremont patients see us by secure video from home. When an in-person visit is needed, we plan it so the trip is worthwhile.
Frequently asked questions
Can anxiety look like ADHD?
Yes. Anxiety, poor sleep and depression can all affect concentration, which is why we screen for them.
Do you prescribe stimulants by telehealth?
Controlled-medication rules apply. Your psychiatrist will explain when an in-person visit is needed.
Do you write accommodation letters?
When the evaluation supports it, yes.
Can I have a video visit while I am in Vermont?
No. Our psychiatrists are licensed in New Hampshire, so you must be physically in New Hampshire during a video visit.
