Adult ADHD · Oxford, MS
Adult ADHD doesn't always look like the kid who couldn't sit still.
If focus, follow-through, or restlessness have been getting in the way of work, school, or daily life, it may be ADHD — and it's treatable. Life Balance coordinates evaluation and provides ongoing medication management for adult ADHD in Oxford and across North Mississippi.
ADHD in adults shows up differently than the classic childhood picture. It's less "can't sit still" and more chronic disorganization, missed deadlines, restarted projects, a mind that's loud in meetings and quiet when it's supposed to be working. Many adults spend years attributing it to being lazy or undisciplined before anyone mentions ADHD.
It's a real, treatable medical condition. Getting an accurate diagnosis and a steady treatment plan is usually the first time things start to feel manageable.
One — how care works here
Evaluation, then a plan you actually stay on.
A real first visit.
We start with a full history — what's actually getting in the way, when it started, what you've already tried. Not a five-minute checklist.
Coordinated evaluation.
For a formal ADHD diagnosis, we coordinate testing and evaluation with trusted local partners — the right tool for a condition that benefits from a structured assessment, not a guess.
Ongoing treatment at Life Balance.
Once a diagnosis is in place, Casey manages medication and follow-up care directly — stimulant or non-stimulant options, dose adjustments, and monitoring, with telehealth available for routine visits.
Two — treatment options
Stimulant and non-stimulant options, monitored carefully.
Depending on your history and any co-occurring anxiety or depression, treatment can include long-acting stimulant medications with a structured prescribing plan, or non-stimulant alternatives such as Strattera, Wellbutrin, or guanfacine.
For patients who want more precision in medication selection, GeneSight pharmacogenomic testing is available — a genetic test that can help narrow down which medications are more likely to work well for you.
Looking for care around prescription stimulant misuse instead of an ADHD diagnosis? That's a different situation with its own page.
