After a 1 minute recap of the video, I’ll be available for questions on this topic or any other related to Mental Health.
- Who Needs ADHD Testing?:
While some schools and other organizations require testing to "confirm" a diagnosis of ADHD, no professional entities endorse this approach because there are no tests that prove one has ADHD. No genetic tests. No blood tests. No brain imaging tests. No neuropsychological exams. ADHD is diagnosed by a thorough clinical evaluation by someone familiar with the condition. On rare situations neuropsychological testing can help clarify when someone is dealing with multiple conditions.
