At Integrated Psychology Group, we offer Adult ADHD Evaluations specifically designed for individuals seeking a clearer understanding of their cognitive and behavioral patterns. Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can often go undiagnosed in childhood, with symptoms manifesting in different ways as individuals age. Recognizing ADHD in later life is a unique and transformative opportunity for many people, particularly as the demands and challenges of mid-life and beyond—such as career pressures, family responsibilities, and managing health—can make previously unnoticed symptoms more apparent.

 

What to Expect

​

• Comprehensive Evaluation: The process involves a thorough clinical interview, standardized ADHD-specific questionnaires, and a review of personal, medical, and developmental history.

• Time Commitment: Evaluations typically take up to 2.5 hours.

• Feedback Session: After the evaluation, clients will meet with Dr. Salvi to discuss the findings and create a personalized plan. This meeting will include feedback on potential ADHD symptoms, strengths, and strategies for managing any challenges.

• Written Report: A comprehensive report will be provided, summarizing findings and offering practical recommendations for therapeutic support, lifestyle strategies, or accommodations that may improve daily functioning.

Why Seek an ADHD Evaluation Later in Life?

​

ADHD symptoms in adults may manifest as difficulty staying organized, procrastination, challenges with attention or focus, and impulsive behaviors. As individuals age, many may realize these challenges have impacted various areas of life, from career progression to relationships or mental health. While ADHD is often diagnosed in childhood, recognizing it in later life can be empowering—offering individuals the opportunity to finally understand their experiences and gain a new perspective on their cognitive and emotional health.

​

Research suggests that ADHD often presents differently in adults, with symptoms potentially masked by coping mechanisms developed over time. This can make diagnosis challenging, but understanding ADHD in later life can lead to improved self-awareness and the ability to implement strategies that work for the individual. The process of receiving a diagnosis and addressing ADHD in mid-life or beyond can reduce feelings of frustration, anxiety, or low self-esteem, and help individuals lead more organized, fulfilling lives.
