Information Regarding ADHD Evaluation and Treatment

What is ADHD?

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is a neurodevelopmental variation in the brain associated with unique functional strengths and struggles that wax, wane, and change throughout an individual's life. It was believed to be a predominantly male disorder. However, research is finding as of late that this is not the case. As a result, many women remain undiagnosed until adulthood. Diagnosing ADHD traditionally involved neuropsychological testing by a clinical psychologist. This is not feasible, especially in adulthood, as this type of testing requires a significant investment in time and money out-of-pocket since insurance usually does not cover these costs for adults. Such a test tends to cost $1,500-$5,000. Because of this, most diagnoses in adults are now made through a thorough investigation of past and current behaviors that may indicate a high likelihood of having the condition. It is important to establish childhood struggles as struggles later in life can be confounded by lifestyle factors and choices. Diagnosis of ADHD would be difficult to establish in someone who struggles with insomnia, severe depression, severe anxiety, or bipolar disorder that are not treated or stabilized first. Additionally, many ADHD-like symptoms can occur from using substances like marijuana or alcohol regularly. 

Our Evaluation and Treatment Approach

ADHD evaluation in adulthood is complex. As such, the diagnosis usually takes several visits with your provider as well as testing. Here is what you can expect:


  • Thorough history and physical.


  • For those with an established diagnosis from a previous prescriber, please obtain your medical records or allow us to ask for them prior to your appointment.


  • QbCheck testing. Click here for more information. The cost of this test is not usually covered by insurance. The cost of the test is $150.00. If affordability is a concern, we'd be happy to discuss payment plans. *Please note: If you have an established diagnosis from previous neuropsychological testing and you provide documentation, this is not necessary*


  • Conners' Adult ADHD Rating Scales (CAARS) which may need to be mailed to you and is usually covered by insurance. Without insurance coverage, out-of-pocket expenses are $125.00. *Please note: If you have an established diagnosis from previous neuropsychological testing and you provide documentation, this is not necessary*


  • Interview or questionnaire of a close family member who has ideally known you since childhood. *Please note: There are exceptions to this and it is not always ethical or appropriate to complete this step*

 


Why do I need such extensive evaluations for ADHD treatment?

Medications do not come without side effects. Many medications used to treat ADHD are Federally controlled schedule II substances with a high risk for misuse, abuse, and diversion. These substances are dangerous if used by individuals who do not have ADHD. They can lead to the weakening of the heart muscle over time and other adverse reactions. Our priority is to provide compassionate care, but this must be done safely and ethically.
