counseling with one of our staff counselors for added insight into patient’s possible other diagnoses. For

now, patient will remain on present medication regimen as he’s only been on these medications for a

changes/increases at subsequent visits. Once cognitive evaluation is resulted, if positive for ADHD will

consider adding Strattera or Guanfacine to medication regiment. Patient should benefit greatly from

weekly counseling.
