Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent patterns of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that interfere with functioning or development (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). It's not a character flaw or a lack of intelligence; rather, it's a difference in brain structure and function that affects executive functions like planning, organization, emotional regulation, and impulse control. Did you know that ADHD has a strong genetic component and tends to run in families? If you have a relative with ADHD, there is a higher likelihood of a genetic link.
Do You Wonder If You Have ADHD?
Many adults live undiagnosed with ADHD, often attributing their struggles to other factors. If you've consistently experienced challenges with focus, organization, time management, impulsivity, or restlessness, you might be wondering if ADHD is at play. We invite you to explore this possibility with us. Our convenient virtual appointments make it easier than ever to get the assessment you deserve, right from the comfort of your home.
ADHD Assessment
Exciting News! We're thrilled to announce that we're now offering FDA-approved testing for ADHD with QBTECH!
This innovative technology provides objective data on attention, impulsivity, and activity levels, offering a clearer picture of how your brain processes information. While clinical interviews and symptom checklists are crucial for understanding your subjective experience, QBtech offers an objective measure that complements our diagnostic process, helping to confirm a diagnosis and rule out other conditions (QBtech, n.d.). It's important to note that symptoms like inattention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity can also be attributed to other psychiatric conditions such as anxiety, bipolar disorder, or insomnia. This is where QBtech is particularly valuable; it helps us differentiate ADHD from these other conditions, ensuring a precise diagnosis. Furthermore, QBtech can be a valuable tool in assessing your symptoms while on medication, helping us to fine-tune your treatment plan for optimal effectiveness. This combination allows for a more precise and evidence-based diagnosis and ongoing management of ADHD.
