How can I tell if I might benefit from an ADHD assessment?

If you’re experiencing persistent symptoms that interfere with daily life, an ADHD assessment can help clarify what’s happening and guide appropriate treatment. ADHD symptoms can present in inattentive, hyperactive, or impulsive patterns, meaning each individual’s experience may look different.

Common inattentive symptoms include:

• Difficulty focusing or sustaining attention
• Frequent careless mistakes or missed details
• Trouble organizing tasks or managing time
• Forgetfulness or frequently losing items
• Feeling easily distracted or mentally “checked out”

Symptoms related to hyperactivity and impulsivity may include:

• Restlessness or difficulty sitting still
• Excessive talking or interrupting others
• Acting without considering consequences
• Difficulty waiting or taking turns
• Feeling internally “driven” or constantly on the go

Many adults also experience chronic procrastination, emotional overwhelm, workplace challenges, or relationship difficulties related to ADHD.

Who is a good candidate for an ADHD assessment?

An ADHD assessment may be beneficial if:

• Symptoms have been present since childhood
• You are struggling academically or professionally
• ADHD runs in your family
• You also experience anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns
• You are seeking clarity before starting or adjusting treatment

Great Care Health Services offers both in-person and virtual ADHD assessment services using secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platforms when appropriate.

What can I expect during an ADHD assessment?

An ADHD assessment is a comprehensive clinical evaluation rather than a single test. It helps your provider understand how symptoms affect daily functioning and overall well-being. The process may include:

• A detailed clinical interview reviewing medical, mental health, educational, and developmental history
• Discussion of current symptoms and functional challenges
• Standardized ADHD rating scales and screening tools
• Input from partners, family members, or caregivers when appropriate
• Evaluation for related conditions such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or learning differences

For virtual assessments, much of this information is collected through secure video interviews and digital assessment tools. In-person evaluations may include additional observational or structured components when clinically appropriate.

After your assessment, your provider reviews the results with you and discusses personalized treatment options. These may include therapy, behavioral strategies, ADHD coaching, lifestyle adjustments, and medication management when appropriate.
