ADHD Evaluation in Wellesley, 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 Wellesley, Massachusetts, from our office in Lexington and through secure telehealth. Wellesley's college community and family neighborhoods bring us patients from late adolescence through adulthood, many of whom prefer telehealth for follow-ups.
Adhd evaluation for Wellesley patients: who it helps
People from Wellesley 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.
