Online Adult ADHD Evaluation for New Hampshire Residents

---

It is estimated that around 9 million adults in America have ADHD. Unfortunately, only 20% of adults with ADHD have been diagnosed and treated. 

ADHD can be treated by medication or therapy.  Both appear to be equally effective. Multiple stimulant and non-stimulant medications have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Regarding therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy has been shown to be particularly helpful for treating adult ADHD.

Problems with attention are not specific to ADHD. Someone can have attention problems, but not have ADHD. For example, mood and anxiety disorders often cause problems with attention.  Therefore, an ADHD evaluation must be broad and evaluate for other conditions that can cause problems with attention. In adults common rule outs include: generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder and substance use disorders.
