Adult ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurological condition characterized by difficulties with attention, impulsivity, and in some cases, hyperactivity. These symptoms can significantly impact various aspects of life, including work, relationships, and daily functioning. Adults with ADHD might find it hard to stay organized, manage their time effectively, keep up with tasks, or follow through on plans. They may also experience restlessness and have difficulty sitting still or focusing on tasks they find uninteresting, even though they can be highly focused on activities they enjoy. Because ADHD symptoms overlap with those of other mental health conditions, and because ADHD was historically seen as a childhood disorder, many adults with undiagnosed ADHD may not realize the root of their challenges.
My psychological testing and evaluation services offer a comprehensive approach to diagnosing Adult ADHD, providing clarity and understanding to individuals who have struggled with these symptoms. The evaluation process includes a detailed interview to understand the individual's developmental history, current symptoms, and how these symptoms affect their life. It also involves standardized testing and questionnaires specifically designed to assess ADHD symptoms and differentiate ADHD from other conditions that can have similar presentations, such as anxiety or mood disorders. This thorough assessment ensures an accurate diagnosis, which is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan. With a clear understanding of their condition, individuals can explore treatment options that may include medication, therapy, coaching, and strategies for organizational skills and time management, tailored to help them manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life. My services aim to provide supportive and understanding care, empowering individuals to navigate their ADHD with confidence.
