ADHD Testing
ADHD testing at Shrinkty is a structured, evidence-based evaluation — clinical interview, standardized assessments, and a comprehensive written report — that confirms or rules out ADHD in teens and adults ages 13 and up. It costs a flat $150 and is offered across Tennessee by telehealth and in person in Murfreesboro, McMinnville, and Dickson.
Why formal testing matters
Trouble focusing can come from many places — ADHD, but also anxiety, depression, sleep problems, or life circumstances. A structured evaluation sorts out what's actually going on, so treatment targets the right thing. We evaluate teens and adults ages 13 and up.
What the evaluation includes
Clinical interview
A detailed conversation with your provider about your history, symptoms, school or work functioning, and health background.
Standardized assessments
Validated questionnaires and rating scales that measure attention, impulsivity, and executive functioning against established norms.
Behavioral observations
Your provider's structured observations during the evaluation itself add another layer of information beyond self-report.
Collateral information
When applicable, input from family members or teachers helps show how symptoms appear across different settings — an important part of an accurate ADHD diagnosis.
Comprehensive written report
You receive a written report with the findings, a diagnosis if one applies, and specific recommendations for next steps.
Cost
ADHD testing is a flat $150, due at the time of service. Testing is not billed to insurance. If you're diagnosed with ADHD, ongoing care afterward — medication management and therapy — is billed to insurance in the usual way.
After the evaluation
If the evaluation supports an ADHD diagnosis, your provider walks you through the treatment options, which can include medication, therapy, skill-building strategies, or a combination. If something else better explains your symptoms, the report says so — and points you toward the right treatment instead.
Frequently asked questions
How much does ADHD testing cost?
ADHD testing at Shrinkty is a flat $150, due at the time of service. Testing is not billed to insurance. If the evaluation leads to an ADHD diagnosis, ongoing care afterward — medication management and therapy — is billed to insurance in the usual way.
How long does ADHD testing take?
The core of the evaluation — a detailed clinical interview plus standardized rating scales — is completed at a scheduled testing appointment. When input from family members or teachers is part of the picture, gathering it can add some time. Afterward, you receive a comprehensive written report with the findings and specific recommendations.
Do you test teens for ADHD?
Yes. Shrinkty evaluates teens and adults ages 13 and up. For teens, input from parents and teachers is often part of the evaluation, since an accurate ADHD diagnosis depends on seeing how symptoms show up across settings like home and school — not just in the appointment itself.
