For adults in North Philadelphia, the path to understanding attention challenges often starts with a simple question: "Is it ADD?" While the term ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is the current clinical term, many adults still use "ADD" to describe symptoms of inattention, mental fog, forgetfulness, or low motivation.
If you're in North Philadelphia and wondering whether what you're experiencing might be undiagnosed ADHD, here's what you need to know.
Why Adults in North Philadelphia Are Seeking ADHD Testing
Long waitlists at in-person clinics in Center City and surrounding areas
Increased awareness of adult ADHD symptoms like procrastination, executive dysfunction, and emotional reactivity
Barriers to in-network diagnosis through primary care
At Steinberg Psychological Services, PLLC, we offer telehealth-based ADHD assessments for adults across Pennsylvania, including North Philadelphia. These evaluations are designed for adults who want clear answers—not just a prescription.
What Our ADHD Evaluation Includes
Our assessments include a structured diagnostic interview, standardized self-report measures, and an objective task to measure attention and impulsivity. This approach helps differentiate ADHD from other clinical issues while ensuring the results are clear, defensible, and actionable.. The process is fully remote and designed to clarify whether ADHD is a meaningful part of your experience, and how it interacts with other factors like mood or executive functioning.
The entire process is completed remotely and typically results in a detailed diagnostic report that can be used to pursue:
Medication with a prescribing provider
Academic accommodations
Workplace supports
