Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder. It is more than just being forgetful or restless. 

People with ADHD want to complete a task, remember a deadline, or talk with someone, but are unable to concentrate. As a result, they may be perceived as being lethargic or lazy, which tends to make them feel discouraged.

Symptoms vary from person to person, but typically include:

• Inability to concentrate

• Forgetfulness

• Inability to remain seated

• Interrupting others

• Being unable to organize time and material things

• Being easily distracted

• Making decisions without thinking

There is no test to diagnose ADHD. A professional has to look at symptoms, history, and impact and rule out other possible reasons for the person’s symptoms, such as sleep problems or learning difficulties. 

At GABA Telepsychiatry, our board-certified psychiatrists provide online, evidence-based comprehensive ADHD testing and a personalized treatment plan.
