Adult ADHD Assessment

An evaluation for adults seeking clarity

An adult ADHD evaluation explores whether ADHD may contribute to difficulties with attention, organization, time management or follow-through, and whether something else better explains them. Success does not rule out ADHD; compensating for difficulties can require considerable effort.

Dr. Bianca Hur offers adult ADHD testing and diagnostic evaluations in Irvine, Orange County and, when appropriate, through secure telehealth in California. The goal is understanding and useful recommendations, rather than forcing a diagnosis.

Interview, measures and history

A comprehensive clinical interview explores your concerns and developmental, educational, work, relationship, medical and mental health history. Standardized measures and, when appropriate, observer questionnaires provide additional information.

Childhood experiences may be explored through memories, school records or observations from parents. Childhood records are not required. Additional procedures may be needed depending on the referral question.

Considering other explanations

The assessment considers anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, sleep problems, burnout, substance use, bipolar disorder, autism, medical conditions and medication effects, rather than relying on an ADHD questionnaire alone.

Feedback and recommendations

A feedback session helps explain the findings. A written report may include relevant history, results, diagnostic impressions, strengths, difficulties and individualized recommendations. Ask whether a report is included for your evaluation and discuss any documentation needs.

Recommendations may include psychotherapy, executive-function strategies, coaching, sleep and lifestyle changes, environmental supports, organization tools, stress management or communication strategies. A medication consultation, if recommended, is with a licensed prescriber. Results are shared with other providers only with written authorization.

Before requesting an assessment

A complimentary 15-minute consultation can help clarify what you are looking for and the next step. Ask about the assessment fee, payment or coverage, appointments involved, report availability and timing.

Please do not include private health details when inquiring about treatment.
