Adult ADHD Treatment Online
ADHD doesn’t end in childhood. Millions of adults live with ADHD, and many are never diagnosed. If focus, organization or follow-through feel harder than they should, an online ADHD assessment and a visit with a licensed provider can help you find out why and what to do about it.
Signs and Symptoms of ADHD in Adults
Adult ADHD symptoms are often less obvious than in children. Common signs include:
- Difficulty focusing, especially on tasks that feel boring or repetitive
- Chronic procrastination and trouble finishing projects
- Losing track of time, missing deadlines or appointments
- Disorganization and frequently misplacing things
- Restlessness, impulsive decisions or interrupting others
- Feeling overwhelmed by everyday responsibilities
Everyone experiences these sometimes. With ADHD they are persistent, started in childhood and affect more than one area of life, such as work, home and relationships.
Types of ADHD
- Predominantly inattentive: mainly trouble with focus, organization and follow-through.
- Predominantly hyperactive-impulsive: mainly restlessness and impulsivity.
- Combined presentation: a mix of both.
How Adult ADHD Is Diagnosed
A licensed provider diagnoses ADHD with a clinical evaluation based on DSM-5 criteria. This typically includes standardized symptom questionnaires, a review of your childhood and current symptoms, your medical and mental health history, and screening for conditions that can look like ADHD, such as anxiety, depression, sleep problems or thyroid issues.
