ADHD in Adults: Finally Getting the Answers You Deserve
You're Not Lazy. You're Not Broken. You Might Have ADHD.ADHD in adults is real, common, and frequently missed.
At Upper Echelon Psychiatry, we provide comprehensive ADHD evaluations, QbCheck testing, and personalized treatment plans.
Most adults with ADHD spend years, sometimes decades being told they weren't trying hard enough.
ADHD doesn't always look like a hyperactive kid who can't sit still. In adults, it often looks like:
- A inbox you can't get to zero no matter how many systems you try.
- Procrastination or simply starting something and then finding 2 or 3 more things to do at the same time to unintentionally avoid the firs task or the most important one.
- A brilliant mind that goes blank the moment something feels boring
- Chronic lateness despite genuinely trying to be on time
- Lying awake replaying conversations, to-do lists, and worst-case scenarios
- A pattern of starting strong and never quite finishing.
If any of that resonates, you're not alone and you're in the right place!
At Upper Echelon Psychiatry, we provide comprehensive ADHD evaluations, objective testing through QbCheck™, and personalized treatment plans that actually account for your whole life — not just your symptom checklist.
At Upper Echelon Psychiatry, we understand that getting an ADHD diagnosis as an adult can feel overwhelming. Many of our patients spend years wondering why traditional systems don't work for them. To eliminate the guesswork and provide the absolute highest standard of mental health care, our comprehensive adult ADHD evaluations combine a thorough clinical history interview and DSM-5 rating scales with QbCheck™.
QbCheck is an advanced, computer-based medical device that provides objective data to measure the core symptoms of ADHD with scientific precision. This multi-lens approach ensures you get the clear, accurate answers you deserve.
How QbCheck Works:
You will complete a 15-to-20 minute, non-verbal computer task designed to evaluate your attention span and impulse control
While you take the test, a standard laptop webcam utilizes high-resolution face detection to track micro-movements, precisely measuring hyperactivity.
Your data is instantly compared to a normative database of individuals of the exact same age and sex to map out your unique symptom profile.
-
No, QbCheck is not strictly required to receive an ADHD evaluation or diagnosis. However, at Upper Echelon Psychiatry, we highly recommend it. Traditional evaluations rely entirely on subjective interviews and self-report scales. By adding QbCheck, we introduce objective, scientific data into your assessment. This comprehensive approach reduces clinical bias, helps us differentiate ADHD from overlapping conditions, and allows us to track your treatment success with 50% greater accuracy.
-
The fee for the objective QbCheck test and our clinical interpretation of the data is $250.
-
Yes, Upper Echelon Psychiatry is in-network with most major insurance providers. We will bill your insurance directly for your standard clinical evaluation visits (such as your initial diagnostic intake interview and follow-up appointments). However, the specific QbCheck objective test itself ($250) is a private-pay service and is not billed to insurance. Upon request, we can provide you with a detailed superbill for the testing fee, which you can submit to your insurance company to seek potential out-of-network reimbursement.
-
es. Because our practice utilizes telehealth to serve patients across Oregon, Washington State, and Washington D.C., your QbCheck test can be completed securely from the comfort of your home. All you need is a reliable internet connection and a Windows laptop or Mac with a built-in webcam. The system meets top-tier medical privacy standards, featuring end-to-end encryption and two-factor authentication
-
The visual symptom report is generated immediately after you finish the 15-to-20 minute task. However, because the data must be clinically interpreted alongside your personal history and rating scales, your clinician will review the final results and diagnostic insights with you during your scheduled follow-up appointment
