Could It Be Adult ADHD?
Adult ADHD does not always look like obvious hyperactivity. For many adults, it feels like working twice as hard just to stay organized, meet deadlines, and follow through.
You may benefit from an ADHD evaluation if you frequently experience:
-
Difficulty concentrating during conversations, meetings, or reading
-
Chronic procrastination, even with important responsibilities
-
Trouble starting or completing tasks
-
Forgetfulness that affects work, school, or relationships
-
Frequently losing important items
-
Poor time management or repeatedly running late
-
Feeling overwhelmed by ordinary responsibilities
-
Restlessness, impulsivity, or difficulty slowing down
-
Intense focus on interesting tasks but difficulty beginning necessary ones
-
Underperforming despite your intelligence, effort, or potential
These symptoms do not automatically mean you have ADHD. Anxiety, depression, trauma, sleep problems, and other conditions can cause similar difficulties.
A comprehensive evaluation can help you understand what is actually getting in the way.

ADHD Testing with TOVA®
TOVA®, or the Test of Variables of Attention, is an FDA-cleared computerized medical device that helps healthcare professionals assess attention and inhibitory control.
Unlike a questionnaire that asks you to describe your symptoms, TOVA measures how you perform during a structured attention task.
The TOVA test provides objective information about:
-
Sustained attention
-
Response time
-
Response-time consistency
-
Impulse control
-
Missed responses
-
Incorrect responses
-
Changes in attention over time
The test takes approximately 20 minutes and is completed in person at our Tempe office.
TOVA does not diagnose ADHD by itself. Instead, it provides objective performance data that your psychiatric provider considers alongside your symptoms, clinical history, functional impairment, and other relevant information.
This combined approach creates a more complete picture than relying on a questionnaire or computerized test alone.
Objective information can be especially valuable when diagnostic and treatment decisions are involved.
Comprehensive Adult ADHD
Diagnosis and Evaluation
There is no single questionnaire, brain scan, blood test, or computerized assessment that can independently diagnose ADHD.
A comprehensive adult ADHD diagnosis requires a qualified provider to consider multiple sources of information, including:
-
Current symptoms
-
Symptoms or patterns that may have been present earlier in life
-
Difficulties at work, school, home, or in relationships
-
Medical and psychiatric history
-
Current medications
-
Sleep and lifestyle factors
-
Co-occurring mental health symptoms
-
Questionnaire or screening results
-
Objective TOVA performance data
At Alevea, your provider looks at the complete clinical picture before determining whether your symptoms are consistent with ADHD.
This matters because difficulty concentrating can have many possible causes. Anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic stress, poor sleep, substance use, medication effects, and certain medical conditions may all affect attention, memory, motivation, or executive functioning.
ADHD can also occur alongside anxiety, depression, trauma-related conditions, and other mental health concerns.
A careful diagnostic evaluation helps your provider identify the most likely explanation for your symptoms and recommend treatment that addresses your actual needs.
Adult ADHD Is Often Missed
Many people are not diagnosed with ADHD until their 20s, 30s, 40s, or later.
Earlier in life, you may have been able to compensate through intelligence, structure, family support, last-minute pressure, or spending significantly more time and energy than other people to achieve the same result.
Symptoms may become harder to manage when adult life requires you to independently organize:
-
College or graduate school
-
A demanding career
-
Appointments and deadlines
-
Household responsibilities
-
Finances
-
Relationships
-
Parenting
-
Multiple competing obligations
Adults often seek an ADHD evaluation after experiencing:
-
College or graduate-school difficulties
-
Increased responsibilities at work
-
Career burnout
-
Chronic procrastination
-
Difficulty maintaining routines
-
Relationship conflict related to forgetfulness or follow-through
-
Parenting stress
-
Repeated problems with organization and time management
-
Persistent frustration with productivity
-
A feeling that ordinary responsibilities require excessive effort
If you have spent years wondering why everyday tasks feel harder than they should, an adult ADHD evaluation may provide helpful clarity.

Does TOVA diagnose ADHD?
No. TOVA provides objective information about attention and inhibitory control, but it does not diagnose ADHD by itself.
Your psychiatric provider considers your TOVA results alongside your symptoms, personal history, functional impairment, screening results, and clinical evaluation before making a diagnosis.
Is TOVA FDA-cleared?
Yes. TOVA 9 is an FDA-cleared medical device used to aid healthcare professionals in assessing attention deficits, including ADHD. It is intended to support—not replace—a comprehensive clinical evaluation.
Can anxiety, depression, or trauma look like ADHD?
Yes. Anxiety, depression, PTSD, chronic stress, sleep problems, and other conditions can cause symptoms that resemble ADHD. These conditions may also occur alongside ADHD.
A comprehensive evaluation helps your provider determine the most likely causes of your symptoms and identify appropriate treatment options.
Do I need TOVA testing before receiving ADHD medication?
Medication should never be prescribed based on a TOVA score alone. Before prescribing ADHD medication, a provider must complete an appropriate clinical evaluation and determine whether medication is indicated and safe.
Alevea incorporates TOVA into its ADHD evaluation process to provide additional objective information.
Will I receive medication if I am diagnosed with ADHD?
Not necessarily. An ADHD diagnosis does not guarantee that a particular medication, including a stimulant, will be prescribed.
Treatment recommendations depend on your symptoms, medical history, safety considerations, previous treatment, and your provider’s clinical judgment.
Does Alevea provide ADHD medication management?
Yes. Alevea provides ongoing ADHD medication management when medication is clinically appropriate. Follow-up appointments allow your provider to evaluate effectiveness, tolerability, safety, and your overall progress.

How is ADHD testing conducted in adults?
A comprehensive adult ADHD evaluation considers current symptoms, patterns that may have been present earlier in life, functional difficulties, medical and psychiatric history, sleep, medications, substance use, and conditions that may resemble ADHD. At Alevea, objective TOVA performance data may also be reviewed. No single questionnaire, computerized test, blood test, or brain scan can independently diagnose ADHD.
What is TOVA testing?
TOVA, or the Test of Variables of Attention, is a computerized assessment that measures aspects of attention and inhibitory control during a structured task. It provides information about response time, consistency, missed responses, incorrect responses, and performance changes over time. At Alevea, TOVA testing takes approximately 20 minutes and is completed in person at the Tempe clinic.
Can TOVA diagnose ADHD by itself?
No. TOVA cannot diagnose ADHD by itself. Results must be interpreted alongside the patient’s symptoms, developmental history, functional impairment, medical and psychiatric history, and other clinical information. Anxiety, depression, trauma, inadequate sleep, chronic stress, substance use, medication effects, and certain medical conditions can also affect attention and performance.
What happens after an adult ADHD evaluation?
Your psychiatric provider will explain the evaluation findings and discuss whether your symptoms appear consistent with ADHD or may be better explained by another condition. If ADHD is diagnosed, recommendations may include medication management, behavioral strategies, counseling or coaching resources, organizational support, lifestyle changes, and routine follow-up. Treatment is individualized rather than determined by the TOVA score alone.
Does an ADHD diagnosis guarantee stimulant medication?
No. An ADHD diagnosis does not guarantee that a stimulant or any particular medication will be prescribed. Your provider will consider your symptoms, medical history, previous treatment, cardiovascular factors, substance-use history, medication risks, treatment preferences, and monitoring needs. Non-stimulant medication or nonmedication strategies may be recommended when clinically appropriate.
Is TOVA testing free?
Alevea currently offers TOVA testing with no separate out-of-pocket testing charge when it is completed as part of an ADHD evaluation. The psychiatric evaluation and any subsequent treatment may be billed separately according to insurance coverage or self-pay arrangements. Patients should confirm current eligibility, coverage, and appointment requirements when scheduling.
