ADHD Evaluation in Andover, MA
Difficulty focusing, losing track of tasks or feeling constantly restless can have many causes. A careful ADHD evaluation separates ADHD from the conditions that mimic it, so treatment targets the real problem.
Psych Boston provides ADHD evaluation for patients in Andover, Massachusetts, from our office in Lexington and through secure telehealth. Andover families often juggle demanding academic schedules, and many start with an in-person evaluation and continue with telehealth.
Adhd evaluation for Andover patients: who it helps
People from Andover come to us for ADHD evaluation for many reasons, including:
- Children whose teachers report attention or behavior concerns
- Teens struggling with organization, deadlines or grades
- Adults with chronic procrastination, disorganization or missed deadlines
- People who were diagnosed as children and want a reassessment
- Patients wondering whether anxiety, mood or sleep issues explain their focus problems
What to expect
- History and rating scales: We gather developmental, school and work history and use validated ADHD rating scales — often including input from parents, teachers or a partner.
- Clinical interview: A detailed interview explores symptoms, when they began, how they affect daily life and other possible explanations.
- Screening for related conditions: Anxiety, depression, learning differences, substance use and sleep disorders are reviewed, because they often co-occur with or mimic ADHD.
- Results and treatment options: You receive a clear explanation and options that may include behavioral strategies, school or workplace accommodations, therapy referrals and, when appropriate, medication.
