Since the late 1980’s, researchers and doctors have understood that ADHD does not necessarily disappear at the onset of adulthood. Understanding the need to evaluate and treat adult ADHD and related disorders, Dr. Sussman has helped adults since the inception of his clinic. Nearly half of our patients are adults coming to us from every corner of South Carolina and neighboring states. Men and women from all walks of life, college and graduate students, medical and law students, all have benefited from our evaluation and treatment programs. Most recently, research and anecdotal evidence have shown that women have their own unique set of problems with previously undiagnosed ADHD. Managing their careers and their families puts significant stress on any woman. Trying to deal with multiple issues is especially stressful for women with ADHD. Dr Sussman has a particular interest in investigating and treating these problems.
