Understanding ADHD
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects focus, impulse control, and executive functioning. It's one of the most common behavioral health conditions in children, but it also affects millions of adults. ADHD looks different in everyone - some people struggle mainly with attention, others with hyperactivity and impulsivity, and many with a combination.
The right diagnosis matters because ADHD often co-occurs with anxiety, depression, or learning disabilities. A thorough evaluation helps clarify what's happening and what treatment will be most effective.
ADHD in Children and Teens
ADHD is often first identified in school-age children when teachers notice difficulty staying focused, following directions, or sitting still. But ADHD can also show up as disorganization, emotional reactivity, or social difficulties.
If you think your child may have ADHD, a psychological evaluation is the first step. Testing identifies whether ADHD is present, how severe it is, and whether other conditions are contributing. The evaluation also provides documentation for school accommodations like IEP or 504 plans.
After diagnosis, treatment may include therapy (often CBT or behavioral strategies), medication management, or both. Family therapy can also help parents develop strategies for supporting their child at home.
ADHD in Adults
Many adults live with undiagnosed ADHD. Symptoms in adults often look like chronic difficulty with organization, time management, procrastination, restlessness, or trouble maintaining focus at work. Some adults seek an evaluation after their child is diagnosed and they recognize similar patterns in themselves.
Adult ADHD evaluation involves a clinical interview, self-report questionnaires, and sometimes cognitive testing. Treatment typically includes therapy focused on practical strategies and skills, medication management, or both.
