ADHD can affect much more than attention. Our Adult ADHD Evaluation looks beyond a checklist of symptoms, so you leave with greater clarity and a personalized plan for what comes next.
From $650
At btr. Mental Health & Wellness, our Adult ADHD Evaluation is designed to look beyond a checklist of symptoms. We take the time to understand your history, current challenges, mental health, and overall functioning so you can leave with greater clarity and a personalized plan for what comes next.
Many adults with ADHD were never diagnosed as children. You may have done well academically or professionally while privately struggling with chronic procrastination, difficulty starting tasks, frequently losing or forgetting things, poor time management, feeling constantly behind, difficulty prioritizing, distractibility, mental restlessness, impulsive decisions, or becoming overwhelmed by ordinary responsibilities. For some adults, these patterns become much more noticeable as work, family, and life responsibilities increase.
There is no single blood test, brain scan, or questionnaire that can independently diagnose ADHD. A high-quality adult ADHD evaluation combines your history, symptoms, standardized assessment tools, functional impairment, and clinical judgment while also considering other explanations for your symptoms. That distinction matters because the right diagnosis leads to the right treatment.
ADHD treatment should consider the whole person, not just symptoms. Laboratory testing can help identify medical factors that may contribute to difficulties with attention, energy, mood, or cognitive functioning. An EKG provides additional cardiovascular information that may be useful when considering certain ADHD medications, particularly stimulant treatment. Results are reviewed as part of your overall assessment and incorporated into your individualized treatment recommendations.

Process
What to Expect With the Comprehensive Evaluation
Before your appointment, you will complete detailed intake information and standardized ADHD questionnaires. Additional questionnaires may be used to evaluate conditions that can overlap with ADHD.
Meet with your clinician for an in-depth evaluation of your symptoms, history, and current functioning. We evaluate attention and concentration, executive functioning, organization and time management, procrastination and task completion, impulsivity, hyperactivity or internal restlessness, emotional regulation, childhood and developmental history, academic and occupational functioning, anxiety and mood symptoms, sleep, medication and treatment history, and relevant medical history.
The Comprehensive Evaluation includes laboratory testing and an EKG as part of your overall medical assessment. These results provide additional information that may be relevant when evaluating symptoms and developing medication recommendations.
Your clinician brings together your clinical interview, ADHD testing, mental health screening, developmental history, available medical and psychiatric records, laboratory results, and EKG findings. This helps distinguish ADHD from conditions that can sometimes produce similar symptoms, and allows treatment recommendations to be individualized to you.
Once your assessment is complete, you will have a dedicated feedback and treatment-planning visit. Together we review your diagnostic findings, what your results mean, contributing conditions, laboratory and EKG findings when clinically relevant, medication and non-medication options, therapy and behavioral strategies, executive-functioning recommendations, and next steps.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about adhd evaluations.
The evaluation generally includes an initial comprehensive assessment followed by a separate results and treatment-planning visit.
Yes. Both evaluation options include individualized treatment recommendations based on your assessment.
No. The purpose of the evaluation is diagnostic clarification. Sometimes ADHD is identified, while in other cases symptoms may be better explained by another condition or by several overlapping factors.
ADHD is considered a neurodevelopmental condition, so evaluation includes looking for evidence that symptoms or related patterns were present earlier in life, even if they were never formally diagnosed.
That is common and is one reason a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation is important. We assess whether symptoms are related to ADHD, another condition, or a combination of factors.
When clinically appropriate, your treatment plan may include discussion of both stimulant and non-stimulant medication options as well as non-medication approaches.
