An ADHD assessment is a comprehensive evaluation to determine whether you meet the diagnostic criteria for ADHD.
Once you submit your assessment, a licensed psychiatrist will review your information and determine whether you meet the diagnostic criteria for ADHD. If they need any additional information, they will send you a message through our website.
Once the doctor completes your evaluation, you will be able to download a copy of your results from the Medzino portal. If you are diagnosed with ADHD, you will receive a formal diagnosis letter that you can take to your doctor for further treatment or to your employer for reasonable accommodations.
You can expect to receive an email within 1-2 business days of submitting your order letting you know your evaluation results are ready to be downloaded from your account. Your letter will be a digital download and will not be mailed to you.
Currently we can only treat patients in TX and CA whether that's therapy or medication. Treatment (therapy or medication) for diagnosed patients in TX and CA will be through the Specialty Clinic of Austin.
On Medzino, the assessment is completed by a licensed psychiatrist with decades of experience in diagnosing and treating ADHD. If they determine that you meet the diagnostic criteria for ADHD, they will issue a formal diagnosis letter.
There is no age requirement for our assessment. Individuals of all ages can be evaluated for ADHD through Medzino. If you are under the age of 18, your parent or legal guardian needs to complete the consultation form for you.
Although we do not not directly deal with insurance companies, the cost of the assessment can often be reimbursed by your insurance provider. You will need to submit an insurance claim directly with your insurance company. The information typically needed to fill out the claim details will be provided with your assessment results.
Yes, if you change your mind and would like to cancel your order, please contact us immediately. We are able to cancel an order as long as the psychiatrist has not completed the evaluation yet. Once the psychiatrist has completed your evaluation the assessment is non-refundable.
While an online screening tool may help you determine whether you need to seek further evaluation for ADHD, it is not an official diagnosis like the one you would receive from Medzino.
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common mental disorders affecting children. ADHD also affects many adults. Symptoms of ADHD include inattention (not being able to keep focus), hyperactivity (excess movement that is not fitting to the setting) and impulsivity (hasty acts that occur in the moment without thought).
An estimated 8.4% of children and 2.5% of adults have ADHD.1,2 ADHD is often first identified in school-aged children when it leads to disruption in the classroom or problems with schoolwork. It can also affect adults. It is more common among boys than girls.
They both refer to the same disorder, although ADD is an older name. The newer “ADHD” is actually AD/HD, meaning Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. You can have problems with attention and/or problems with hyperactivity.
Scientists have not yet identified the specific causes of ADHD. There is evidence that genetics contribute to ADHD. For example, three out of four children with ADHD have a relative with the disorder.
Other than genetics, being born prematurely, brain injury and the mother smoking, using alcohol or having extreme stress during pregnancy are all possible factors for developing ADHD.
While scientists have shown that there are differences in the brain size, networks, neurotransmitters, and brain development of children with ADHD, they do not fully understand how these differences lead to the cause and the symptoms of ADHD.
Typical symptoms are making careless mistakes, being easily distracted or forgetful, procrastinating, losing things, fidgeting, interrupting and blurting things out.
If you suspect you have ADHD, talk to your doctor about a comprehensive evaluation.
Think of ADHD and concentration the way you do something like height, for example. Everybody has height, some people are taller, some are shorter. Conceptualize concentration as being the same. People that have ADHD have less ability to concentrate - that’s just how they’re wired.
There is no lab test to diagnose ADHD. Diagnosis involves gathering information from parents, teachers and others, filling out checklists and having a medical evaluation (including vision and hearing screening) to rule out other medical problems. The symptoms are not the result of person being defiant or hostile or unable to understand a task or instructions.
ADHD can be diagnosed by medical doctors and psychologists.
Talk to your doctor about a comprehensive evaluation if you think you may have ADHD.
Treatments for ADHD are thought to work in part by altering the levels of the neurotransmitters and changing how the networks function. Stimulant medications are considered first-line treatment for ADHD in children and adults.
There is no one “best” medication for ADHD. Everyone responds differently to medication so it is important to work with your doctor to find the best fit for you.
Diagnosis is the first step, from there you can work with your doctor to develop a comprehensive treatment plan.
Stimulants, such as Ritalin, Adderall, others, help by making more neurotransmitters such as dopamine and norepinephrine available for brain networks to function at optimal levels.
Clonidine and guanfacine (Intuniv) are non-stimulant medications that indirectly affect norepinephrine activity in the part of the brain that controls planning, focus and impulse control.
Adderall helps ADHD by making more neurotransmitters such as dopamine and norepinephrine available for brain networks to function at optimal levels.
