How an ADHD Assessment For Adults Helps
A comprehensive adhd assessment for adults delivers more than a diagnosis, it gives you a practical roadmap.
At Indigo Therapy Group, we offer comprehensive ADHD testing in Chicago and virtual assessments across Illinois, making it easy to access expert care no matter your schedule.
Common Signs of Adult ADHD
ADHD doesn’t always look like fidgeting. Many adults experience quieter patterns that still disrupt work, relationships, and well-being. If several of these sound familiar, an adult attention deficit evaluation may help:
-
Trouble initiating tasks, chronic procrastination, or “last-minute sprinting”
-
Distractibility, difficulty finishing what you start, or losing track of details
-
Time blindness (under/overestimating how long things take)
-
Misplacing items, forgetting appointments, or missing messages
-
Emotional reactivity, irritability, or difficulty emotional regulation
-
Hyperfocus on certain interests—while everyday tasks feel impossible
-
Productivity problems despite working “all the time”
-
Motivation that swings with interest rather than importance
-
Struggles with organization, planning, or executive functioning issues

FAQs: Adult ADHD Testing
How do I know if I have ADHD as an adult?
If you notice ongoing patterns, procrastination, time blindness, distractibility, and emotional reactivity, an adhd assessment for adults can determine whether ADHD, anxiety, depression, or another factor best explains your experience.
Is ADHD testing valid later in life?
Yes. Many adults receive a formal adult ADHD diagnosis for the first time and experience significant relief and improvement once the right supports are in place.
Can testing help with work or relationship issues?
Absolutely. Results can inform practical systems for planning, communication strategies, and—when appropriate—documentation for accommodations.
