ADHD Evaluation in Waltham, MA
ADHD does not only affect children. Many adults first seek an ADHD evaluation when growing responsibilities at work or at home make long-standing focus problems impossible to ignore.
Psych Boston provides ADHD evaluation for patients in Waltham, Massachusetts, from our office in Lexington and through secure telehealth. Waltham's mix of university students, young professionals and long-time families means we see a wide range of ages and scheduling needs from the city.
Adhd evaluation for Waltham patients: who it helps
People from Waltham 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.

Do you evaluate adults for ADHD?
Yes. We evaluate adults as well as children and adolescents.
