Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Testing in Mansfield and Arlington
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a medical condition that causes behavioral changes, mainly affecting a person’s ability to pay attention. Adults or children who have ADHD find it difficult to sit still for long periods and have trouble controlling their impulses. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that affects both children and adults. It is characterized by symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, which can significantly impact daily functioning and overall quality of life. If you or a loved one is struggling with ADHD, it is important to seek an assessment in order to receive a proper diagnosis and access appropriate treatment.
The estimated number of children ever diagnosed with ADHD, according to a national 2016 parent survey, is 6.1 million (9.4%), and ADHD symptoms can begin occurring in children as young as three years old. While not easy to diagnose, our counselors at Mansfield Counseling have the education and experience to test thoroughly and determine whether you or children have ADHD or another mental health disorder or diagnosis.
ADHD is a neurological condition and requires mental health testing to be diagnosed. ADHD testing is a complex process, and we will take several steps to arrive at an accurate diagnosis. Mansfield Counseling uses tests that are researched, in-depth, and validated by both QEEG and fMRI.
Our comprehensive assessments will:
Determine the type of the individual’s ADHD (specific problems and history of the issues)
Identify other mental health distresses that may be existing
Determine the impact of ADHD symptoms on school, work, home, relationships, self-esteem, etc.
Collect information from numerous sources, such as family, teachers, friends, and co-workers.
