Conditions We Treat
ADHD
Difficulty with focus, organization, and follow-through — in adults, not just kids.
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder isn't only a childhood condition. In adults, ADHD often looks like difficulty focusing, disorganization, procrastination, restlessness, and trouble following through — patterns that can quietly undermine work and relationships.
Dr. Egenburg provides thorough evaluation for adult ADHD and, when appropriate, evidence-based treatment including medication management. Care is personalized and monitored closely to find what works best for your life and goals.
The short answer
Momentum Modern Psychiatry evaluates and treats ADHD in adults. Dr. Egenburg starts with a thorough 60-minute evaluation and, when appropriate, builds a treatment plan that may include stimulant or non-stimulant medication with close follow-up. Care is available in person in Marlboro, NJ, and by telehealth in New Jersey and New York when clinically appropriate.
Common signs of ADHD in adults
Adult ADHD rarely looks like the hyperactive child stereotype. Many adults were never diagnosed as kids — especially women and people who compensated with intelligence, structure, or sheer effort. The symptoms often become harder to manage as responsibilities grow.
Common signs include:
- Difficulty sustaining focus, especially on tasks that aren't interesting
- Chronic procrastination and trouble starting or finishing projects
- Disorganization, losing things, or missing deadlines and appointments
- Feeling mentally restless or needing to stay busy
- Impulsivity — interrupting, quick decisions, or impulsive spending
- Time blindness: underestimating how long things take
- Feeling like you work much harder than others to keep up
How Dr. Egenburg evaluates adult ADHD
An ADHD evaluation takes more than a checklist. During the 60-minute comprehensive evaluation, Dr. Egenburg reviews your current difficulties, how symptoms showed up in childhood and school, and your psychiatric, medical, and family history. She may ask about old report cards or input from someone who knows you well, when helpful.
Careful evaluation matters because anxiety, depression, sleep problems, substance use, and other conditions can mimic or accompany ADHD. Getting the diagnosis right is the foundation for safe, effective treatment.
Treatment options for adult ADHD
When ADHD is diagnosed, treatment may include medication. Options include stimulant medications and non-stimulant medications; the right fit depends on your symptoms, health history, other conditions, and preferences. Dr. Egenburg monitors your response closely and adjusts the plan over time.
Stimulant medications are controlled substances. Prescribing follows federal and state rules, which may require in-person visits, and ongoing monitoring is part of responsible care.
Medication is often most helpful alongside practical strategies — structure, routines, and sometimes coaching or therapy. Dr. Egenburg can coordinate with other professionals involved in your care.
When to see a psychiatrist for ADHD
Consider an evaluation if focus, organization, or follow-through problems have been lifelong and are affecting your work, finances, or relationships; if you've always suspected ADHD but were never assessed; or if you were diagnosed in the past and want to revisit treatment as an adult.
In-person and telehealth care
Dr. Egenburg sees patients in person at the Marlboro, NJ office and by secure telehealth for adults located in New Jersey or New York, when clinically appropriate. Your first comprehensive evaluation is preferably done in person, so there's time to understand the full picture; many follow-up visits can then happen by video.
Frequently asked questions
Can a psychiatrist diagnose ADHD in adults?
Yes. A psychiatrist can evaluate and diagnose ADHD in adults, and can also look for other conditions that may be causing or contributing to similar symptoms.
Can I get ADHD medication through telehealth in NJ or NY?
Telehealth may be part of ADHD care for adults in New Jersey and New York, but stimulants are controlled substances. Prescribing follows federal and state rules, which may require in-person visits. Dr. Egenburg will explain what applies to you.
Are there non-stimulant options for ADHD?
Yes. Non-stimulant medications are an option for some adults, depending on symptoms, health history, and preferences. Dr. Egenburg will discuss the choices that make sense for you.
