ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that begins in childhood, but many adults are not diagnosed until their 20s, 30s, 40s, or even later. Symptoms often become more noticeable with increased demands at work, in relationships, or during major life transitions like starting a new job or becoming a parent. If you suspect you may have ADHD, getting a professional evaluation is the first step toward understanding your experience and accessing the right support.

If your evaluation determines that your symptoms are not consistent with ADHD, your provider will discuss alternative explanations. Conditions like anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, and thyroid issues can mimic ADHD symptoms. You will still leave with a clear understanding of what might be going on and recommended next steps, which may include referrals, further testing, or treatment for the identified condition.
