ADHD Testing

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD, in adults, is under-treated and underdiagnosed. Assessing adult ADHD is a complicated process, and no single clinical tool can give a complete picture of a person’s condition. For this reason, we have standardized a two-step process to optimize adult ADHD treatment and diagnosis.

How to Diagnose ADHD in Adults?

Effective treatment begins with an accurate diagnosis. Adult ADHD can be challenging to diagnose. ADHD frequently presents with co-occurring conditions such as anxiety and depression, which complicate the recognition, diagnosis, and management. Recent studies have found that nearly 80% of adults with ADHD are either undiagnosed or untreated.

QbTest: What to Expect

The QbTest is an essential part of the assessment process for ADHD. The computer-based test measures the ability to impulse control and maintain attention. The test is completed at a desk and takes about 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, an infrared camera tracks movement and activity during the test. The results are based on a performance comparison with data from other people of the same sex and age who do not have ADHD. QbTest results in conjunction with other psychiatric evaluation tools to aid clinical judgment and build a personalized treatment plan.

The test equipment consists of an infrared camera, a headband with an infrared marker attached to it, a laptop, and a responder button, like so:
