As a society, we are undereducated about this medical condition and the effects it can have on the life of an individual not knowing they have options. In 2016, the National Institutes of Mental Health estimated that approximately 15 million Americans were suffering from ADHD. Of that 15 million, NIMH estimated 9% had been diagnosed and were receiving treatment. After all, a test for ADHD is not p
art of an annual physical exam and is not likely to come up during a routine visit. We felt it would be meaningful to help those we’ve educated to increase awareness and treatment of this condition. The founders of Millennium Medical Associates have both been diagnosed and are receiving treatment for Adult ADHD. They know personally the profoundly positive impact education and treatment can make. Having been unfairly judged by others because of their medical condition, the founders decided Millennium Medical Associates will always be a space where Adult ADHD sufferers will never be judged, made to feel lazy, or made to feel crazy. And, today, almost 10 years later, patients regularly tell us that for the first time they feel someone has finally heard them, understands their plight, and is dedicated to helping them improve their lives. It is, after all, our motto:
“Caring and compassionate treatment for sufferers of Adult ADHD”
