Ketamine is everywhere right now: ads, reels, glowing testimonials.
But a major new study just found something surprising: the "experience" of ketamine may be doing more of the work than the medicine itself.

This doesn’t mean it's is useless BUT it’s NOT a magic cure, and we should be careful about treatments that sound too good to be true.

At ADHD Aid, we don’t chase hype.
We focus on: treatments with real evidence, care that lasts longer than a trend, what actually helps you feel better. If you want a team that keeps it honest, we’ve got you.

October is ! As specialists dedicated to ADHD care, we're excited to share knowledge, break down stigma, and help our community thrive.

Today we're tackling one ADHD Myth: Adults don't have ADHD.
FACT: ADHD is a lifelong neurodevelopmental condition. While approximately 50-60% of children with ADHD continue to meet full diagnostic criteria as adults, nearly all continue to experience some symptoms that impact daily functioning.

In adults, ADHD often shows up as:
Difficulty prioritizing and completing tasks
Chronic procrastination
Time management struggles
Emotional dysregulation
Inconsistent work performance

At ADHD-Aid Psychiatry, we provide specialized adult ADHD evaluations and treatment, including medication management tailored to adult needs.

On , we’re highlighting how ADHD, anxiety, and depression often overlap.

At ADHD-Aid Psychiatry, we recognize that these challenges rarely exist in isolation. That’s why our evaluations and treatments look at the whole picture—how your unique symptoms interact and influence one another. Treating one condition often improves the others, creating a ripple effect of positive change.

Remember: these are just common signs, not a diagnostic checklist. If you feel your struggles are starting to disrupt your daily life, reaching out to a clinician is the next step.

Together, let’s promote integrated mental healthcare. If you think this is insightful, tag someone who may benefit from this post.

Note: These graphics share only common and recognizable signs. They are not comprehensive, nor are they meant for diagnosis. For a full list of criteria, refer to the DSM-5 and consult a licensed clinician. Mental health symptoms can resemble everyday emotions—what makes them a disorder is when they become intense and begin interfering with your life. Please use this as education, not self-diagnosis.

It’s not just about too much screen time—it’s about what it’s doing to you.

A major new study followed over 4,000 teens and found something big:
addictive screen patterns—like using phones to cope, feeling distressed when unplugged, or constantly needing to check apps—were tied to higher rates of anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts.

Meanwhile, just counting hours on screens? Not strongly linked to mental health issues at all.

If scrolling feels like a reflex or a crutch, that’s not weakness—it might be something worth talking through.

We’re here to help you make sense of it and take back control.

It's Men's Health Month! Time to separate fact from fiction about ADHD in men and boys.

From diagnosis debates to medication myths, there's a lot of misinformation out there. Are men really overdiagnosed? Do stimulants affect testosterone? Is ADHD just "normal boy behavior"?
