ADHD Testing and Management
ADHD symptoms can present as mostly inattentive, mostly hyperactive-impulsive, or a combination of both types of symptoms.
ADHD Presentations and Types of Symptoms
Predominantly Inattentive Presentation It is hard for the individual to organize or finish a task, to pay attention to details, or to follow instructions or conversations. The person is easily distracted or forgets details of daily routines.
Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Presentation The person fidgets and talks a lot. It is hard to sit still for long (e.g., for a meal or while doing homework). Smaller children may run, jump or climb constantly. The individual feels restless and has trouble with impulsivity. Someone who is impulsive may interrupt others a lot, grab things from people, or speak at inappropriate times. It is hard for the person to wait their turn or listen to directions. A person with impulsiveness may have more accidents and injuries than others.
Combined Presentation Symptoms of the above two types are equally present in the person.
Diagnosing ADHD
Determining if a person has ADHD requires a process with several steps, the first step being a comprehensive evaluation by a licensed and board-certified mental health practitioner, psychiatrist, psychologist or pediatrician to discuss the history of symptoms.
Please note. There is NO single test to diagnose ADHD, and several other disorders, such as anxiety, depression, or learning disabilities may also present with symptoms similar to ADHD.
Children The healthcare provider will conduct a comprehensive evaluation to determine a diagnosis of ADHD. ADHD screening in children includes observational behavioral assessments by parents, teachers, and other adult caregivers of the child to assess for consistency of symptoms in multiple environments.
Adults ADHD develops early on during childhood and can often last into adulthood. Symptoms may present differently in adults with age progression. For example, as one gets older, ADHD-associated hyperactivity may present as extreme restlessness that others find difficult to keep up with.

Anxiety
Experiencing anxiety is a normal response to stress that might manifest as worry, fear, or tension. When processing such anxiety symptoms becomes difficult, symptoms may become persistent, excessive, and overwhelming with physical symptoms including sweating, feeling like your heart is racing, difficulty with sleep, excessive sleep, and the list goes on. One’s intrinsic fight-or-flight response may go into overdrive, where they can become “stuck” in that mode resulting in heightened responses to even the least significant or minor situations. How does one break the cycle? It’s a process that begins with the first step of recognizing that the symptoms have become unmanageable, despite any best efforts to feel better. At Haelan Psychiatry & Wellness, we will meet you where you are in the process. Our team welcomes you and is ready to support your journey to recovery and healing.

Mood Disorders
Mood disorders may present as fluctuations in our moods or behavioral patterns that may or may not be associated with what is happening around us. Mood disorders are characterized by significant, and often persistent, emotional disturbances that may negatively impact one’s daily activities, work or school routine, social life, or thought processes. When mood disorders go unmanaged or untreated, one may experience the onset or worsening of other conditions, such as anxiety, depression, etc. You don’t have to go through it alone. Let’s talk about it. Our providers at Haelan Psychiatry & Wellness will provide a comprehensive evaluation and will work with you to develop a treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs.
