Comprehensive Adult ADHD Assessment and Diagnosis
At Verve Psychiatry, we provide comprehensive ADHD evaluations for adults across Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Durham, and North Carolina. ADHD in adults can look different than it does in children.

A thorough ADHD evaluation provides clarity, answers, and a path forward.

What Is an ADHD Evaluation?
An ADHD evaluation is a detailed assessment used to determine whether your symptoms are consistent with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.
Because ADHD can overlap with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and stress, a careful and comprehensive evaluation is essential for accurate diagnosis. This is especially relevant in older adults.
ADHD is often missed in adults who:
-
Performed well in school or work
-
Developed compensatory strategies
-
Experience chronic overwhelm, burnout, or difficulty sustaining focus
Many adults seek evaluation after years of feeling that they are “working harder than everyone else.”
A proper evaluation helps distinguish ADHD from anxiety, depression, or stress-related challenges.

We work with adults who can often go undiagnosed:​
