ADHDAttention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects attention, organization, impulse control and activity level. The predominantly inattentive type is what many people still call “ADD.” Many adults were never diagnosed as children.

What it can look like

  • Trouble finishing tasks or keeping track of details
  • Difficulty organizing work and time
  • Forgetting appointments or obligations
  • Putting off tasks that need sustained mental effort
  • Restlessness or feeling “driven by a motor”
  • Acting or speaking before thinking

Only a qualified clinician can make a diagnosis. Many of these experiences overlap with other conditions.

How we help

Our ADHD evaluations go beyond quick checklists. We use comprehensive clinical interviews and research-based cognitive testing to understand how attention, memory and executive functioning are working for you, then build a treatment plan that fits your life. Our cognitive testing uses Creyos, a computerized assessment of attention, memory, reasoning and other thinking skills that you complete online from home. A shorter sample version is available if you’d like to see what the testing involves first.

Self-check questionnaire

Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS v1.1) screener

Private: your answers stay on your own device. They are scored in your browser and are never sent to EKM Psychiatry or saved. This is a screening tool, not a diagnosis.

Choose the answer that best describes how you have felt and conducted yourself over the past 6 months.

1. How often do you have trouble wrapping up the final details of a project, once the challenging parts have been done?
2. How often do you have difficulty getting things in order when you have to do a task that requires organization?
3. How often do you have problems remembering appointments or obligations?
4. When you have a task that requires a lot of thought, how often do you avoid or delay getting started?
5. How often do you fidget or squirm with your hands or feet when you have to sit down for a long time?
6. How often do you feel overly active and compelled to do things, like you were driven by a motor?
