Self-diagnostic Guide
-
Are you awaiting diagnosis?
-
Do you suspect you may have ADHD?
-
Do you think a loved one may be suffering with undiagnosed ADHD?
Feel free to use our basic diagnostic guide here.
Remember that this is NOT a complete medical diagnosis - just a guide.
Source for Diagnostic Test:
Based on the eighteen DSM-IV-TR criteria, the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-v1.1) Symptom Checklist was developed in conjunction with the World Health Organization (WHO), and the Workgroup on Adult ADHD that included the following psychiatrists and researchers:
-
Lenard Adler, MD. Associate Professor (New York University Medical School)
-
Ronald C. Kessler, PhD Professor (Harvard)
-
Thomas Spencer, MD, Associate Professor (Harvard)
Service for undiagnosed clients
I offer an extended first session for undiagnosed clients.
I offer a bespoke 2 hour introductory session for potential clients who are undiagnosed but show clear symptoms of ADHD.
-
The session will use a series of more detailed questions (as is usually used in official medical diagnosis). I will make notes and then offer feedback using the official diagnostic guidance. This will offer a more detailed analysis and explanation of the different aspects of ADHD that are exhibited.
-
After discussing your goals and hurdles, the coach will assess and explain how coaching work will benefit you. During the session I will explain some of ADHD's key comorbidities and the common ways that the condition can affect the daily lives of adults with ADHD.
-
You can then decide whether to embark on a series of coaching sessions going forward.
-
Following this session, you will receive summary of the session and your responses to the diagnostic questions.
