Psychological Testing and Adult ADHD Evaluations

Why Psychological Testing? A counselor or psychiatrist may refer you for psychological testing when he or she wants added information about the personality traits, moods, and behavior patterns that are unique to you. Psychological testing provides important information about the type and severity of depression and/or anxiety that you may be experiencing. This information helps your doctor develop an individualized treatment plan that takes into account your specific mental health needs, as well as possible treatments including medication or counseling interventions that are designed uniquely for you. Psychological testing for emotional disorders and treatment planning is available in Kansas City and involves a detailed clinical interview with Dr. Bloom and completion of paper and pencil tests and questionnaires.

What is Adult ADHD? Many adults struggle with distractibility, impulsivity, and staying focused with work, household, and relationship responsibilities. It feels like they are spinning in circles when it comes to multi-tasking and time management. Some adults find that their concentration problems are a significant obstacle to success at work and at home no matter how hard they try. Is it possible they have Adult ADHD?

If an adult has experienced these types of attention challenges since childhood, he or she may have an undiagnosed attention deficit disorder. Psychological testing for Adult ADHD is available in Kansas City and involves a detailed clinical interview with Dr. Bloom, behavioral questionnaires, and a computerized assessment of your attention capabilities.
