How Often Should ADHD Screening Be Done?
ADHD screening is typically performed when there are noticeable symptoms or concerns about attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity. If an individual shows signs of ADHD during childhood, a screening may be conducted at the onset of these concerns. For adults, screening may occur if symptoms become more apparent in adulthood or if the individual has never been evaluated for ADHD before. There is no set timeline for how often screening should be done, as it depends on the individual’s symptoms and whether they change over time.
Routine screening is not typically required unless there is a significant change in behavior, academic performance, or work performance that may indicate the presence of ADHD. However, if an individual has been previously diagnosed with ADHD and is receiving treatment, follow-up assessments or screenings may be necessary to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment plan and make any adjustments if symptoms persist or worsen. Regular assessments help ensure that the person receives the most appropriate and effective care.
