Frequently Asked Questions
Can adults have ADHD?
Yes. ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that persists into adulthood. Many adults weren't diagnosed as children, especially if they were high-achieving or had primarily inattentive symptoms.
What if I did well in school?
Academic success doesn't rule out ADHD. Many adults with ADHD compensated through intelligence, hyperfocus on interesting subjects, or working much harder than peers. The cost was often anxiety, burnout, or underachievement relative to potential.
How accurate is adult ADHD diagnosis?
When conducted thoroughly by qualified professionals using validated tools and comprehensive history-taking, adult ADHD diagnosis is reliable. We use gold-standard assessment methods.
What happens if I am diagnosed with ADHD?
A diagnosis opens doors to treatment options including medication, therapy, coaching, and accommodations. We provide a detailed report and recommendations tailored to your situation.
Can the assessment be done online?
Some components can be conducted via video, but we prefer at least one in-person session for the most accurate assessment. We'll discuss the best format during your consultation.
