It is estimated that Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder impacts about one in twenty adults. Difficulty with attention can have a significant impact on the daily lives of individuals. It can affect work, school and home-life. There are many possible causes of attention problems. An attention deficit evaluation will include looking at many of these possible causes.
ADHD consists of symptoms of inattention and/or hyperactivity with impulsivity. In adults, the inattention can be seen in many ways, such as an inability to complete tasks, procrastination, and difficulty focusing in meeting or conversations. These symptoms are seen in multiple settings– home, work, or school.
After a thorough evaluation, we can then work collaboratively to treat the underlying problems.
