Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Assessments

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopment condition that affects how the brain regulates attention, impulse control, and activity level. ADHD exists along a spectrum and can present differently from person to person. For some, it is primarily experienced as difficulty sustaining focus; for others, it involves restlessness, impulsivity, or challenges with organization and follow-through.

ADHD can influence many areas of daily life, including work, school, relationships, and self-esteem. Individuals may feel overwhelmed by tasks that require planning or sustained effort, struggle with time management, or experience frustration when their intentions do not align with their outcomes. These behaviors often fluctuate depending on environment, demands, and emotional state. Over time, these challenges can contribute to stress, burnout, or a sense of underachievement—particularly when ADHD has gone unrecognized.

Psychological assessment helps distinguish ADHD from other concerns that can look similar, such as anxiety, depression, learning differences, or stress-related difficulties. A comprehensive evaluation provides clarity about how attention, executive functioning, and emotional factors interact, allowing for an accurate and meaningful understanding.
