Do you think you or someone you love might have adult ADHD? How does an adult get diagnosed with ADHD? What is ADHD testing? What should I expect from an adult ADHD evaluation?
You've got questions, I've got some insights and information about what to expect from the testing and evaluation process if you're trying to figure out if you have ADHD.
I'm Dr. Jared DeFife, a psychologist and ADHD therapist making ADHD and mental health videos on YouTube!
Of course, the purpose of these videos is educational only. They are NOT a substitute for professional advice, diagnosis, or treatment, so always seek the help of a mental health professional or qualified health provider for guidance!
