How To Get Diagnosed With ADHD in California

Traditionally, anyone seeking an ADHD diagnosis or wanting to rule out other conditions would see their primary care provider or a psychiatrist. But in today’s day and age, patients can also consult a clinician virtually with mental health services like ADHDAdvisor.org.

Take an Initial Assessment

If you want to get started with ADHDAdvisor.org, take our initial-assessment so we can get a better idea of your situation and if we’re able to help. It takes less than five minutes and asks a few questions about your symptoms, how long you’ve noticed them, and when you’d like to book a virtual appointment. While the initial assessment isn’t meant to diagnose ADHD or recommend a treatment plan, it helps our team understand your unique circumstance and gives your medical provider additional context before the clinical evaluation.

Undergo a Clinical Evaluation

Regardless of where you seek support, a clinician will conduct a comprehensive evaluation to determine the root cause of your symptoms. They will ask questions, review your responses, and weigh them against a diagnostic criteria known as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), the latest edition of the American Psychiatric Association’s reference book.

Choose Your Treatment Option

You clinician will offer you options for treating your ADHD if you are diagnosed. In New York we are able to offer a wide range of treatments from therapy to medication management including non-stimulant & stimulant medications. However, it will be entirely up to the discretion of your assigned healthcare provider and your own personal preference what treatment option is right for you.

I was extremely anxious going into this appointment. I have felt like there’s something wrong with me for so long, but just tried to push through. I’m a successful healthcare provider, mother, and instructor - could I really be diagnosed at this stage in the game? The social worker I spoke with immediately put me at ease. She validated concerns I’ve had for a long time and encouraged me to seek additional help to combat some ongoing symptoms.
