ADHD EVALUATION
An ADHD evaluation is a thorough and comprehensive assessment conducted by a qualified psychologist to determine whether an individual has Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This evaluation is essential because ADHD symptoms often overlap with those of other conditions, making an accurate diagnosis crucial for effective treatment and support.
The evaluation process typically includes a detailed clinical interview, behavioral assessments, and standardized rating scales. It also involves gathering information from multiple sources, such as parents, teachers, or significant others, to gain a complete understanding of the individual's behavior across different settings.
By conducting a comprehensive evaluation, the psychologist can differentiate ADHD from other potential issues, such as anxiety, depression, or other behavioral disorders. This ensures that the individual receives the most appropriate and tailored interventions to help them manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
If you suspect that you or a loved one may have ADHD, a professional evaluation is the first step towards understanding and addressing the challenges associated with this condition. Contact our office today to schedule an appointment with one of our experienced psychologists.
