Nearly three million children are diagnosed with ADHD in the US alone each year, yet many still see the condition as affecting children only. However, last year almost 9% of University of Montana students reported being diagnosed with ADHD as adults last year. College students tend to be more inattentive and less hyperactive, making their diagnosis sometimes difficult.

Testing of ADHD and other struggles is strenuous.

Testing at the Curry Health Center can take between four and six weeks and includes personality and mental tests, interviews about the patient’s childhood and schooling history, and interviews with those close to the patient, such as family or roommates. Having undiagnosed ADHD can detrimentally affect the students’ lives and schooling, and so the Curry Health Center also works with students on life and studying skills and holds a weekly mindfulness seminar.

Key Takeaways:

1
Nearly three million children are diagnosed with ADHD every year in the US, but some people are still diagnosed in adulthood.
2
Curry Health Center diagnoses ADHD in college students via a battery of tests, interviews with family and friends, and interviews about the patient’s childhood and school history, which can take from four to six weeks.
3
College students can be more difficult to diagnose than children, but Curry Health Center officials are committed to proper diagnosis and treatment of college students and adults with ADHD.
