Most people associate ADHD with hyperactive children. That association misses a significant portion of the people living with this condition. Many adults with ADHD were either never diagnosed in childhood or were diagnosed and lost access to treatment as they aged out of pediatric care. Either way, they often spend years, sometimes decades, struggling with difficulties they cannot fully explain.
Adult ADHD does not always look like the textbook version. The presentations the Georgetown team sees most often include:
Difficulty sustaining attention on tasks, frequent distraction by external stimuli or internal thoughts, forgetting routine tasks, losing things, difficulty following through on multi step tasks. Often goes undiagnosed in adults because it does not involve the obvious behavioral disruption of hyperactive ADHD.
Restlessness, difficulty sitting for extended periods, impulsive decisions, talking over others, difficulty waiting. More recognizable as ADHD but often reframed in adults as personality traits rather than a clinical condition.
Both inattentive and hyperactive/impulsive symptoms are present. Most common form of adult ADHD.
There is no simple checklist that confirms or rules out ADHD. That is why a proper evaluation matters.
A thorough ADHD evaluation at Psych Dimensions covers the following areas.
Current symptoms, when they first appeared, and whether they were present in childhood. ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition. Symptoms must have been present since childhood to meet diagnostic criteria, though they may not have been recognized or evaluated.
How symptoms affect your work, relationships, and daily responsibilities. ADHD is diagnosed in part by the degree to which it impairs functioning across at least two settings.
Anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, thyroid dysfunction, and other conditions can produce symptoms that resemble ADHD. The evaluation considers whether what you are experiencing is ADHD, another condition, or both.
ADHD frequently co-occurs with anxiety disorder, depressive disorder, and sleep disorders. The evaluation assesses for these because they affect both diagnosis and treatment planning.
Prior ADHD medications, doses, response, and any side effects.
This evaluation takes time and is done by a psychiatric clinician with the training to distinguish between ADHD and other conditions. It is not a quick visit followed by a prescription.
When medication is appropriate for ADHD, the Psych Dimensions team manages it with the same evaluation first, monitor continuously approach applied to all psychiatric medications.
Amphetamines and methylphenidate based medications are the most well studied ADHD medications and are effective for the majority of adult patients. They are scheduled controlled substances, which means the team is careful about prescribing and monitoring.
Including atomoxetine, viloxazine, and others, appropriate for patients for whom stimulants are contraindicated, not well tolerated, or insufficient on their own.
Available at the Georgetown location and can assist in identifying which medications are most likely to work well based on your individual genetic profile. This is particularly useful for patients who have had inconsistent or unexpected responses to prior ADHD medications.
For ADHD medication management, these typically occur two to four weeks after a new medication is started, then monthly during the stabilization period, and quarterly once stable.
Patients occasionally ask about prescribing practices for ADHD medications, particularly stimulants. This is a reasonable question. The Psych Dimensions team manages controlled substances carefully and within all applicable regulatory requirements. That means:
If you have concerns about this process, the team is happy to address them during your evaluation.
Because ADHD frequently co-occurs with anxiety and depression, many patients who come to Psych Dimensions Georgetown for ADHD evaluation leave with a treatment plan that addresses more than one condition. This is not unusual. It is the clinical reality for many adults with ADHD.
The Georgetown team is equipped to treat ADHD alongside anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, sleep disorders, and other conditions. The ADHD medication management approach accounts for the full clinical picture, not just the presenting complaint.
Psych Dimensions Georgetown treats patients ages 16 and up. This includes:
New patients can call (512) 535-3777 to schedule an evaluation at the Georgetown location. The office is open Monday through Thursday until 7pm, and most new patients are seen within a few days of their initial call.

Dr. Thomas at Psych Dimensions in Georgetown, Texas has been wonderful to work with. I’ve had both face-to-face and video appointments, and every experience has been positive. Dr. Thomas took the time to truly get to know me and made me feel heard and understood. He listened carefully and worked thoughtfully with me to address my anxiety and insomnia rather than rushing through appointments. I always felt supported and respected, and I’m very grateful for the care I’ve received. I would highly recommend Dr. Thomas to anyone looking for a compassionate and attentive psychiatrist.
