Telehealth Adult ADHD Assessment for Women in Perimenopause and Menopause in Tennessee
If perimenopause or menopause has turned focus, memory, and follow-through into a daily struggle, you deserve clarity, not more self-blame. ScienceWorks Behavioral Health offers a structured online ADHD assessment for women across Tennessee, so you can get a clear answer and an actionable plan without long travel.
You might be a good fit for an online ADHD assessment if:
You feel "wired and tired" - overwhelmed, overstimulated, and still unable to start or finish what matters.
Brain fog, forgetfulness, and missed details are showing up at work or at home, and you are not sure what is hormones versus ADHD.
You have always been the high-achiever or the helper, but it takes an outsized amount of effort to keep it together.
Sleep disruption, burnout, and emotional reactivity are making everyday tasks feel heavier than they used to.
You want documentation you can use for workplace or academic accommodations (when appropriate).

When an online ADHD assessment can help
Many women start wondering about ADHD when midlife stress, hormonal shifts, and years of coping strategies stop working. If you are in Tennessee and want clarity without long drives, a telehealth assessment can help you sort out what is going on and what to do next.
You can focus in bursts, but planning, prioritizing, or switching tasks feels painfully hard.
You lose track of time, underestimate how long things take, or feel stuck in avoidance even when you care.
You are organized on the outside, but inside it feels like constant mental juggling.
You notice more mistakes, missed appointments, or unfinished projects than you used to.
Anxiety or low mood feels tied to overwhelm, shame, or feeling "behind" all the time.
You want a differential diagnosis that considers sleep, mood, trauma history, and hormonal transition - not a one-size-fits-all label.
You are not lazy or broken. Many high-masking women have been using effort and perfectionism to compensate for years. Getting a clear answer can be a relief.
How online ADHD assessment works at ScienceWorks Behavioral Health
This is a structured, evidence-informed evaluation designed for adults. We combine clinical interview, developmental history, and standardized measures, then take time to rule in or rule out ADHD and look at other factors that can mimic it.
What the assessment includes
Secure telehealth intake for Tennessee-located clients, plus a clear explanation of what we are evaluating and why.
Structured clinical interview and detailed developmental history (including childhood patterns, masking, and life transitions).
Standardized rating scales and collateral input when helpful and appropriate.
Differential diagnosis to clarify ADHD versus menopause-related cognitive changes, anxiety, depression, sleep disruption, burnout, and other contributors.
Written report plus a feedback session with practical recommendations and care coordination ideas.
We take a collaborative approach. No shame, no "just try harder." You get plain-language explanations, strengths-based framing, and next steps you can actually use.
