From Every Corner of the World: ADHD Diagnosis via Zoom by the Wonderful Dr. Shirley Hershko

ADHD diagnosis—remotely, from anywhere in the world, via Zoom.

Dr. Shirley Hershko, an ADHD specialist, researcher, author, and lecturer.

In recent years, Dr. Shirley Hershko has been tirelessly working on her uncompromising vision through every possible avenue: raising awareness about ADHD in children and adults, exploring treatment methods through research, establishing a diagnostic and treatment center, giving lectures, managing a community, creating a podcast, and publishing bestselling books.

It is important to understand that ADHD is innate, contrary to the common public discourse suggesting that "everyone has ADHD nowadays." ADHD affects 5% of the population. Individuals born with ADHD have a slightly different brain structure, characterized by lower dopamine levels (the attention hormone), which impacts them throughout their lives.

In recent years, more and more studies have been published about the risks associated with ADHD and its enormous impact on all aspects of life—not just during school years but also in career, relationships, work, mental health, sleep, nutrition, and more.

The risks of undiagnosed and untreated ADHD are significant. For example, research shows a 50% risk of anxiety and depression, a fourfold risk of addiction, higher injury rates, accidents, and even suicides, along with sleep disorders, eating disorders, drug abuse, academic dropout, divorces, and more.

At any age, it is possible to mitigate the challenges and risks, allowing individuals with ADHD to lead better lives. For instance, treating ADHD can reduce the risk of depression by 40%, smoking by 50%, and suicide by 60%. Treatment can literally transform and even save lives!

Despite the enormous demand for ADHD diagnoses and treatment, there is a global shortage of skilled and available professionals in this field. In some parts of the world (such as Europe and the USA), individuals may wait months or even over a year for a diagnosis.

It should be noted that when someone recognizes the need for a diagnosis, they are likely experiencing significant challenges that disrupt their daily life. The waiting period for a diagnosis can be extremely frustrating.

Additionally, finding a professional with sufficient in-depth and precise knowledge in this field is challenging. ADHD is a vast field that encompasses many subfields requiring specialization, and new research constantly sheds light on this topic. There are few professionals who focus exclusively on ADHD.

Through her diagnostic center, Dr. Shirley Hershko now offers ADHD diagnoses for adults aged 18 and older worldwide, from anywhere, via Zoom and a home-based computerized test.

This is the most thorough and accurate diagnosis available today. Additionally, Dr. Shirley Hershko emphasizes maximum availability and personal, attentive service. She employs a broad team to ensure a positive and pleasant experience, quick scheduling, and immediate, attentive responses to all questions.

The diagnosis is conducted in collaboration with a neurology specialist, meets the Health Ministry's criteria, and includes a comprehensive examination of attention functions and tailored treatment recommendations.

The diagnostic process includes a home-based computerized test that evaluates all aspects of attention functions. Patients can also try a low-dose medication to assess its individual effects.

Subsequent steps include a meeting with Dr. Shirley Hershko to discuss experienced challenges, the test results, and initial impressions.

The next meeting involves a clinical interview with a neurology specialist focusing on ADHD. It includes a detailed explanation of the diagnosis results, a final diagnosis (if ADHD is present), and tailored treatment recommendations.

Finally, a diagnostic report with explanations and recommendations for the treating physician is provided, along with three months of medical follow-up to optimize treatment.

Amid her lectures, research, articles, and overall focus, Dr. Shirley Hershko has one primary goal: to improve the quality of life for individuals with ADHD. To achieve this, she has written and published five books that serve as a roadmap for awareness. All these books have become bestsellers due to their accessible, down-to-earth content that helps readers understand, accept, and embrace, alongside coping strategies.

"People with Attention" – A book for anyone diagnosed with ADHD or their loved ones, to help them understand and gain coping tools.

"Mindful Nutrition" – A book for anyone looking to adopt healthy eating habits in today's abundant world, break free from ineffective diets, and focus on how to transform their environment.

"Children with Attention" – A book for children with ADHD (diagnosed or undiagnosed) and their parents, featuring stories for children and guidance for parents. It helps explain ADHD to children, builds confidence, self-esteem, and a sense of success.

"Where’s the Attention" – A charming book about a child who loses her attention and what helped her find it! Suitable for ages 3–9.

"Mindful Relationships" – A book for couples where one or both partners have ADHD. It shares stories from 25 couples who sought help at her clinic for the challenges ADHD poses in relationships and its destructive potential. Each couple’s story leads to coping strategies that enable couples to live in conscious relationships alongside ADHD.

Dr. Shirley Hershko is Israel’s leading ADHD expert—a researcher, author, podcaster, community manager, and lecturer at the Hebrew University. She runs a diagnostic and treatment center for children and adults and has authored five bestselling books.
