Scott Shapiro, MD- Adult ADHD Psychiatrist

Many people spend numerous hours on their iPhones. And, when you add struggles like focus, distractibility, and procrastination as you see in adult ADHD....well, you have the perfect storm.

As an Adult ADHD Psychiatrist in NYC, I have helped many people overcome their challenges with ADHD to limit the distractions in their lives, including the overuse of their iPhones.

Here is another brilliant idea by Julia Angwin, a contributing writer for the New York Times - change your iPhone settings to grayscale. Brilliant!

How do you think your brain will react?

I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this conversation and to help raise awareness about the challenges people with ADHD face when access to treatment is disrupted.

I was recently interviewed by a fantastic journalist, Renée Fabian for the site Understood.org to discuss an important topic, the ongoing ADHD medication shortage. This shortage is affecting a large number of people and their families.

Are you a elite athlete or executive looking to take your game to the next level?

I work with pro athletes and high-level execs, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: your mental game makes or breaks your performance when the pressure’s on.

In this video, I’m sharing 3 strategies I use every day with my clients to help them lead better, stay focused, and perform at the highest level:

Visualization — your brain doesn’t know the difference between imagining success and actually living it.

Biofeedback — we train your nervous system to stay calm under pressure.

Goal setting with structure — because mindset matters, but so does a plan.

If you want to bring the same discipline to your mindset as you do to your training or career, I’d love to help!

I specialize in helping people with social anxiety disorder. So many people suffer needlessly with social anxiety disorder because of not knowing what is going on. That is why I am passionate about getting the word out there.

Adderall + Vyvanse + Qelbree?

How are these medications different?

ADHD medications generally fall into two categories:

Stimulants

Fast-acting
Often first prescribed
Can improve focus, attention, and impulse control
Examples: Adderall, Ritalin, Vyvanse
Non-Stimulants

Take longer to show effects
May be preferred if there are side effects or coexisting anxiety
Examples: Strattera, Intuniv, Qelbree
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution. It’s normal to try different options before finding the right fit. A psychiatrist can guide that process based on your history and goals.
