ADHD
Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can go undetected for years, and can be missed by teachers or loved ones. Characteristics of ADHD in adults can include starting many tasks and never being able to finish them, not being able to start a task due to getting overwhelmed as to where to begin, feeling as though you're not reaching your full potential (you understand what's required, you just can't seem to apply yourself), getting easily confused when there are many details or tasks to complete, to name a few.
I provide a comprehensive assessment for adult ADHD, which includes interviewing yourself, interviewing others close to you, taking into account records you hold (school records are especially valuable in this process), and your answers on questionnaires to compile a report on whether or not you meet diagnostic criteria for ADHD. You can then take this thorough assessment to a local or online psychiatrist to discuss medication options if you do meet the diagnostic criteria.
ADHD is a fascinating disorder that can provide many benefits to the person who has it (for instance, many people with ADHD are especially creative and can be especially sociable). However, if you think you might have ADHD and you think it's causing you issues in life, perhaps an assessment could help.
