Adult Attention Deficit Disorder Evaluation

Many adults have undiagnosed attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). These people often:

• Forget the task at hand

• Tend to misplace items, only to find them later in strange places

• Notice their attention wanders during conversation

• Blame themselves for being disorganized or overwhelmed when given specific directions

• May have experienced a tendency to ‘space out’ for years

If three or more of these experiences sound familiar, ADHD may be at play.

It’s possible to regain proficiency in areas where a person feels inadequate or ashamed for ‘not keeping up,’ ‘not paying attention’ or ‘being unaware of what is expected.’ Medication and/or short-term counseling can help. The first step is a professional diagnosis.
