Frequently Asked Questions
+ I think I have ADHD or ADD, what should I do?
If you suspect you may have ADHD or ADD, the best course of action would be to schedule an assessment. This can help you learn more about your symptoms and develop a plan to manage them. For more information, check out our ADHD Assessment page.
+ Is there a difference between ADHD and ADD?
Often the term ADD is used interchangeably with ADHD because ADD was the earlier informal or popular term for this condition identified in the “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, DSM-5” as Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). There are three types of ADHD identified depending upon whether the presentation is predominantly: (1) inattention marked by symptoms of inattention, distractibility, and day-dreaming; (2) hyperactivity (experienced primarily as restlessness in adults) and impulsivity; and (3) the combined type. The term ADD is, also, used by adults with ADHD, who present primarily with symptoms of inattention but lack the hyperactivity.
+ What can I expect from an ADHD assessment?
An initial assessment involves two 50 minute sessions where you’ll receive an in-depth interview with a clinical social worker or psychologist. You’ll also be offered a questionnaire to fill out. For a more in-depth look at assessment,please visit our page.
