Frequently Asked Questions
How long does an ADHD evaluation take?▾
Initial evaluation is 60–90 minutes. It includes detailed history, symptom checklist, workplace or school review, and sometimes brief cognitive screening. Results and recommendations are discussed at the end.
What should I bring to my ADHD evaluation?▾
Bring school records (if available), prior testing results, employment history, and a list of current medications and supplements. A detailed childhood history is also helpful.
Do I need to be referred by a primary care doctor?▾
No referral is required. You can schedule directly with our Frederick psychiatry clinic. We communicate findings with your PCP if you authorize it.
Will I be prescribed medication if I have ADHD?▾
Not automatically. Medication is one option; we also discuss non-medication strategies like coaching, time management, sleep optimization, and environmental modifications. Treatment is tailored to your preference and clinical needs.
How do I get documentation for workplace or school accommodations?▾
After evaluation, we provide a clinical summary that supports ADA requests, IEPs, or 504 plans. We can send directly to your school or employer with your consent.
