About ADHD evaluation and treatment
ADHD is more than being easily distracted. It can show up as chronic lateness, unfinished projects, losing important items, difficulty following conversations, restlessness or acting before thinking. Anxiety, depression, sleep problems and substance use can look similar or occur alongside ADHD, which is why a careful evaluation matters.
When patients in Quincy reach out
- Disorganization, missed deadlines or procrastination
- Restlessness, fidgeting or difficulty sitting through meetings
- Impulsive decisions, interrupting or speaking without thinking
- Childhood school difficulties that never fully resolved
- Questions about whether anxiety, depression or sleep issues explain symptoms
- Reviewing current ADHD medication, dose or side effects
These examples are educational and are not a diagnosis. A licensed clinician determines the right assessment and treatment plan.
Our approach
An ADHD evaluation reviews current symptoms and how they affect daily life, along with childhood history, school records when available, standardized rating scales and screening for conditions that can mimic or accompany ADHD. A diagnosis is made only when the full picture supports it.
Treatment can include stimulant or non-stimulant medication, practical strategies, therapy referrals and workplace or school accommodations. Controlled medications are prescribed according to Massachusetts requirements, with regular follow-up to check benefit, blood pressure, sleep, appetite and side effects.

Frequently asked questions
Can adults be diagnosed with ADHD?
Yes. ADHD begins in childhood, but many people are first diagnosed as adults. An evaluation looks for symptoms that started early and continue to affect daily life.
Do you prescribe stimulant medication?
When clinically appropriate, stimulant or non-stimulant medications may be prescribed after a full evaluation, with follow-up visits required under Massachusetts rules for controlled substances.
Do you do neuropsychological testing?
Our evaluation is a psychiatric assessment. If formal neuropsychological testing would help, we can recommend a referral.
Do you see patients from Quincy?
Yes. We regularly see patients from Quincy and nearby South of Boston communities at our Lexington office and by telehealth for eligible Massachusetts patients.
Is this an emergency service?
No. If you or someone else may be in immediate danger, call 911, call or text 988, or go to the nearest emergency department.
