Frequently Asked Questions
How is adult ADHD evaluated?
An adult ADHD evaluation includes a detailed clinical interview, validated rating scales, and a review of your developmental, academic, and work history. Your psychiatric provider also screens for conditions that can mimic or coexist with ADHD.
Do I need childhood records to be evaluated?
Childhood records can be helpful but are not required. ADHD diagnosis depends on a pattern of symptoms beginning in childhood, which can often be established through your recollections and current functioning during the interview.
How long does an adult ADHD evaluation take?
The evaluation is generally completed in one or two visits. Your psychiatric provider then reviews findings with you and, if ADHD is confirmed, discusses treatment options tailored to your needs.
Can I complete the evaluation by telehealth in Maryland?
Yes. Adult ADHD evaluations rely largely on interviews and rating scales, which work well over secure telehealth. All evaluations are secure video visits for residents anywhere in Maryland.
