Our assessment approach
We review developmental and current symptoms, functioning at home, school, or work, medical and psychiatric history, sleep, and relevant screening measures. When appropriate, collateral information may help clarify the diagnosis.
Treatment and support options
Treatment may involve skills-based strategies, psychotherapy, and medication management when clinically appropriate. Medication decisions consider benefits, side effects, safety, and follow-up monitoring.
