What are some questions that are asked during a psycological examination for someone with adhd?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ADHD workup: A "psychological examination" as well as a psychiatric one focuses on a) history, b) mental status exam. History is - when did it start, how long has it been going on, what are the problems, what is the family history, what are the social compromises, etc. Mental status exam is how the patient looks, talks, acts, and behaves. Rating scales are frequently used to quantify symptoms.
