Seeking an ADHD evaluation is an important step for anyone who suspects they may be experiencing symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity. An accurate diagnosis can provide greater self-understanding and validation, helping individuals and their families make sense of longstanding challenges. Early identification opens the door to tailored interventions and resources, which can alleviate frustration, boost academic or work performance, and foster more harmonious relationships.

Ultimately, knowing whether ADHD plays a role allows individuals to access effective treatments and coping strategies, empowering them to navigate life with greater confidence and success.

The symptoms of ADHD can be mild or more pronounced, and every individual is unique. Early recognition and support can make an important difference in development and functioning.

Common Symptoms May Include:

  • Persistent short attention span
  • Distractibility
  • Disorganization
  • Procrastination
  • Forethought and judgment problems
  • Impulse control problems (in some, but not all)
  • Hyperactivity (in some, but not all)
  • Failure to reach potential at school or work
  • Family conflict
  • Drug abuse
  • Low self-esteem
  • Chronic stress
  • Depression
