Adults can be diagnosed with ADHD, too! Symptoms start in childhood, but don’t always impact us until adulthood. Dr.Fox offers abbreviated ADHD evaluations for adults where your background and current functioning will be explored. This is a great option for adults hoping to try medication (but need documentation for their doctor), wanting to finally understand why they have so many challenges, or who have a past diagnosis and need updated information.
In addition to difficulties focusing and feeling restless, ADHD also causes other
executive functioning challenges, such as:
- Procrastinating
- Following through on what you start
- Remembering details, dates, and other information
- Prioritizing and planning
- Trouble sticking to a plan
- Getting easily distracted and off-task
- Keeping up your effort
- Losing things and being disorganized
- Making careless mistakes
- Controlling your emotions
- Feeling anxious, sad, or low self-esteem as a result
Brief adult ADHD evaluations are done virtually. You will receive online rating scales to
complete prior to meeting with Dr. Fox and will then meet for a virtual interview. This
interview typically lasts about 1-2 hours and includes going through your history and
discussing Dr. Fox’s conclusion. You will receive a report within a few days that
documents your diagnosis and recommendations.
Brief adult ADHD evaluations cost $600, and include the testing, interview, and report.
