Related FAQ
Questions people often ask before this service.
Do I need a previous ADHD diagnosis to start?
No. Many people begin with questions, not a diagnosis. A clinician can help review symptoms, history, and what else may be contributing before talking through next steps.
What happens during an ADHD evaluation?
The visit usually includes a detailed conversation about attention, organization, impulsivity, emotions, development, school or work history, sleep, and other health factors. Your clinician may recommend follow-up or records review if more context is needed.
What if my symptoms are not ADHD?
That is part of why a careful evaluation matters. Anxiety, mood concerns, trauma, sleep problems, learning differences, and medical issues can overlap with ADHD. Talk with your clinician about what fits and what does not.
