just took an adhd assessment and... i honestly dont see how this will be sufficient for giving me a diagnosis? i just had to take two tests, one where i had to hit the space bar when hearing a high pitch after a low pitch (as opposed to after *just* hearing the high pitch), and one where a bunch of letters flashed on the screen and i had to hit the space bar when any of them except for x popped up and like... i don't see how this has anything to do with any of the issues i actually experience in my life due to my probable adhd???? like ok i guess it has something to do with focus? which is a part of the whole adhd thing but not all of it? i did take a (very brief) adhd questionnaire as one of my intake forms before seeing this psych for the first time but that wasn't part of the assessment itself but even that (which was only like. 15 questions? maybe?) seemed like it had more to do with how i experience adhd
#idk man im not a psychiatrist or neurologist or whatever so maybe this is super evidence-based and works really well#though a quick google of what adult adhd assessments are supposed to be like seems to suggest that theyre usually way more involved#and even if the tests i did are a part of it theres usually a lot more bits#such as like. idk a LONGER self-assessment questionnaire where you can actually answer questions on how adhd symptoms impact your life?#shrugs#anyway i fucked up on the letters one a bunch so hopefully thats sufficient for whatever these things are supposed to test#also i havent got any communication whatsoever on when my results will come back or anything so thats great#ughhh#well at least its telemed so i got to do it in my jammies cozy in bed and i can just go back to sleep now#life of bea#adhd
