ADHD (Adult and Pediatric)†
Quick call • No obligation • Speak directly with our team
Whether it's a child struggling to stay focused in school or an adult who has spent years feeling scattered, forgetful, or perpetually overwhelmed, ADHD can quietly shape every part of daily life. At Modern Human MD, Dr. Tran approaches ADHD as a whole-person issue — not just a checklist of symptoms. That means understanding your unique history, your brain's patterns, and the factors that may be making things harder than they need to be, then building a plan that actually fits your life.

What ADHD Can Look Like
ADHD presents differently across ages and individuals. In children, it might show up as difficulty sitting still, impulsive behavior, or trouble completing tasks. In adults, it often looks more like chronic disorganization, difficulty prioritizing, emotional reactivity, forgetfulness, or a persistent sense of underachievement despite real effort and intelligence. It's also worth knowing that ADHD rarely exists in isolation. Anxiety, sleep disruption, hormonal imbalances, and nutritional gaps can all amplify ADHD symptoms — and addressing those layers can make a significant difference in how someone feels and functions day to day.
How Dr. Tran Approaches ADHD
Dr. Tran's evaluation looks at the full picture: symptom history, lifestyle, sleep, stress, hormonal health, and any relevant lab findings. This allows her to identify contributing factors that are often missed in a standard visit. From there, a care plan may include TMS neuromodulation — a non-invasive brain stimulation therapy that has shown potential for supporting focus and attention — alongside nutritional guidance, hormonal support when indicated, and medication if it's the right fit. The goal is a plan that's sustainable, not just something that works for a few weeks.
Before Your First Visit
- ✓Write down the specific situations where focus or attention feels hardest — at work, at home, in conversations
- ✓Note any patterns around sleep, energy, mood, or hormonal cycles that seem to affect your symptoms
- ✓Bring any previous evaluations, diagnoses, or records of treatments you've already tried
- ✓Come ready to talk about what daily life actually feels like — the details matter more than the labels
Important
ADHD is a recognized neurodevelopmental condition, and this page is meant to inform — not to diagnose. A proper evaluation by a qualified clinician is always the right starting point. Dr. Tran will take the time to understand your full picture before making any recommendations, and will walk you through your options in plain language so you can make confident, informed decisions about your care.
Frequently Asked Questions
1Can adults really be diagnosed with ADHD for the first time?
Absolutely. Many adults go undiagnosed for decades, particularly women, who often present with more inattentive symptoms that are easier to overlook. It's never too late to get clarity and the right support.
2What is TMS and how might it help with ADHD?
TMS stands for transcranial magnetic stimulation — a non-invasive therapy that uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain. Research has shown potential for TMS to support attention, focus, and executive function, and Dr. Tran may recommend it as part of a broader ADHD care plan.
3Does Dr. Tran prescribe ADHD medication?
Yes, when appropriate. Dr. Tran takes an integrative approach, meaning medication is considered alongside — not instead of — other strategies. She will discuss the full range of options with you so you can decide together what makes the most sense.
4How is ADHD care different for children versus adults?
The core condition is the same, but the way it shows up and the best ways to support it can differ significantly. Dr. Tran tailors her approach to the patient's age, developmental stage, lifestyle, and specific challenges.
5Can hormonal changes make ADHD worse?
They can. Fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone — around the menstrual cycle, perimenopause, or postpartum — can meaningfully worsen attention and focus. Dr. Tran assesses hormonal health as part of a complete ADHD evaluation.
6How does Modern Human MD handle payment for ADHD care?
Modern Human MD is a direct-pay practice, which means all costs are discussed with you upfront before any services begin. There are no surprise bills, and Dr. Tran's focus stays entirely on your care.
