ADD/ADHD Assessment:

YOUR FIRST STEP IN OVERCOMING ADHD

Step 1: If you think you might suffer from ADHD (sometimes still referred to as ‘ADD’) but aren't sure, you can start with step one below, which is our preliminary assessment:

IMPORTANT:

  • While ADHD has become a popular mental health topic on social media, it is not a fad and should be taken seriously with a comprehensive diagnosis. 

  • An ADHD diagnosis cannot be determined from a brief "quiz." Results from quizzes are not acceptable and should not replace consultation with a trained healthcare professional.

  • The above assessment was developed by the World Health Organization, in collaboration with psychiatrists and researchers from Harvard Medical School and New York University Medical School.

  • The first step in our comprehensive ADHD diagnosis process is a pre-assessment that follows DSM criteria and evaluates the manifestation of ADHD symptoms in adults.

  • We require all individuals seeking treatment for ADHD to complete our proprietary intake process, regardless of whether they have received a diagnosis from another practice or provider. This requirement serves multiple purposes.

  • Our ADHD pre-assessment is used to assess the presence of ADHD symptoms in adults and is not a formal diagnosis. It serves only as a tool to gather information about your symptoms. The insights gained from this assessment can help determine if you are eligible for a more thorough evaluation with a trained ADHD professional at our practice.

NEXT STEPS: 

Step 2: If you exhibit signs or symptoms of ADHD, you will have the opportunity to provide your medical history for our medical providers to review in detail. Please be aware that patient safety is a top priority for us, so only suitable candidates will be permitted to schedule an appointment. During this face-to-face video appointment, an ADHD analysis will be performed to determine if ADHD treatment at our practice is a good fit for you.

Important: Before being treated for adult ADHD at our practice, every prospective patient undergoes a thorough screening process to exclude other mental health diagnoses that could be hindering their ability to achieve their desired level of success. Only after ruling out these potentially more serious mental health diagnoses are patients scheduled for a new patient visit at our practice.

Step 3: After reviewing your medical history, if you meet the requirements to become a patient, one of our compassionate staff members can help you schedule an appointment for a new patient visit.

During this appointment, our ADHD specialists will carefully and thoroughly evaluate whether you have ADHD according to our strict guidelines.
