ADHD Screening Let’s get answers. ADHD screening is essential for identifying this mental health disorder, which is characterized by long-standing patterns of impulsivity, hyperactivity, distractibility, and inattention. Most often diagnosed in children, ADHD can persist into adulthood. About 5% of adults in the United States have ADHD, with many remaining undiagnosed and untreated. HIPAA Compliant Hey there, busy body. We see you squirming in your chair during meetings and fidgeting like a kid even though you’re in your 30s. We know you’re not inconsiderate or rude just because you interrupt people or zone out in the middle of a conversation with them. All those times you’ve beat yourself up for losing the keys or, even worse, the car in the parking garage… you didn’t deserve that. It’s not you; it’s your brain. Your unique and wonderful brain. It makes you creative, energetic, and spontaneous. It may even give you laser focus at times. It simply doesn’t have as much norepinephrine as a “normal brain,” meaning your frontal cortex has trouble maintaining your attention, your limbic system is slow to regulate your emotions, your basal ganglia has some confusing communication, and your reticular activating system is having a bit of a traffic jam. What’s in an ADHD diagnosis? Some common psychiatric symptoms, such as irritability, sleep issues, low appetite, and difficulty concentrating, can make it challenging to distinguish ADHD from other mental disorders. ADHD screening, along with a professional evaluation, ensures an accurate diagnosis and an appropriate treatment plan.
