When you are struggling, you need strong and reliable advice provided in a caring and compassionate manner. Dr. Davenport has over 25 years of experience providing this type of assistance.
His evaluation for young adults is designed to identify or rule-out ADD/ADHD, anxiety, and mood disorders. This assessment is typically completed in two sessions.
First Session: 2 hours
Before the first session, you are asked to complete the Young Adult/College Student Questionnaire and either e-mail, fax, or bring it to our office so Dr. Davenport can review this information before your first appointment.
During this 2 hour session, Dr. Davenport completes a clinical interview with you and your family. This highly structured interview is designed to consider the nature, history, duration, and impact of your symptoms at home, at work, and in social settings.
