Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Few disorders are as under-diagnosed and over-diagnosed at the same time. We do not accept the notion of some that there really is no such condition as ADHD.  In some people—children and adults—ADHD is diagnosed when the symptoms are, in fact, caused by other underlying conditions that mimic ADHD.  Sometimes, ordinary exuberance is seen as “ADHD.”  In other situations, individuals who truly have either inattentive, hyperactive or mixed ADHD are seen as being depressed or oppositional or as having some other condition.  To make things even more complicated, other conditions can be present, along with ADHD.  CPS psychologists have many years of experience, both clinically and academically, in assessing this disorder.
