Do you suspect ADHD in yourself or a loved one? Understanding the diagnosis process and accessing appropriate support are crucial steps toward effective management. At Renewing Mindsets, we offer comprehensive ADHD assessments and personalized treatment plans to help individuals thrive with ADHD across the lifespan.
Diagnosing ADHD: A Comprehensive Approach
To receive an accurate ADHD diagnosis, individuals undergo a thorough evaluation process:
Diagnostic Criteria: The latest edition of the DSM-5 outlines specific criteria for ADHD diagnosis, including symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that impair daily functioning.
Referral for Testing: Referrals typically come from healthcare providers, educators, or concerned family members based on observed symptoms and functional impairments.
Comprehensive Evaluation: Our experienced team conducts clinical interviews, behavioral assessments, cognitive testing, and mental health screenings to gather comprehensive data.
Collateral Information: Input from multiple sources, including parents, teachers, and past records, provides a holistic view of the individual's symptoms and functioning.
Feedback and Diagnosis: Following the evaluation, we provide a detailed report summarizing findings and recommendations. If warranted, we diagnose specific ADHD presentations and discuss next steps for treatment.
Personalized Treatment Plans: Empowering Individuals with ADHD
After receiving an ADHD diagnosis, individuals benefit from personalized treatment plans tailored to their unique needs:
Medication Management: We guide patients in finding the right medication type, dosage, and delivery method to minimize symptoms while minimizing side effects.
Psychotherapy: Ongoing counseling helps individuals develop coping skills, manage stress, and improve social interactions.
ADHD Coaching: Coaches provide structure, support, and accountability in implementing organizational strategies and time management techniques.
Academic and Workplace Accommodations: We assist in securing accommodations such as extended time on tests, preferential seating, and workplace modifications to support success in school and work environments.
