Dr. Steve Baskin, a Berkeley, California Psychiatrist specializes in the evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of Adult Attention Deficit Disorder (Adult ADD, Adult ADHD) for the past 22 years. My purpose as a medical doctor specializing in treating ADD and ADHD is to help relieve patient's symptoms and to give them an overall sense of well-being and better functioning in the world.
Assessment of ADD and ADHD is a key element in understanding each patient's individual symptoms and how they disrupt the patient's functioning in three main areas of life - work, school and relationships. We work together to increase a sense of mastery in life and help them attain increased self-esteem that comes from their improved ability to function in the world.
I have been in practice for 30 years, specializing in treating Adult ADD and ADHD for 22 years. I have extensive experience in diagnosing and treating Adult Attention Deficit Disorder, Depression, Bipolar Disorder and Anxiety Disorders. I am always focused on treating the whole patient, a holistic approach.

I have been in private practice psychiatry since 1984 in the same location in Berkeley, California.
I grew up in the Bay Area.
I am a graduate of UC Berkeley and University of California San Francisco School of Medicine.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common psychiatric diagnosis in children, but until 10 to 15 years ago, its validity as an adult diagnosis was controversial.
We now know that most childhood ADHD continues into adulthood and remains present throughout the life cycle.
Recent studies from 2005 show that adult ADHD effects 4.4% of the U.S. population and 4.2% of the population in developing countries worldwide.
This means that approximately 8 to 10 million people in the United States alone have adult ADHD- a much higher figure than what was previously thought.
