ADHD testing is a comprehensive evaluation that explores cognitive, emotional, and behavioral patterns to understand how attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects day-to-day functioning. At KMN Psych, we utilize a variety of standardized tests, clinical observations, and assessments to evaluate areas such as attention span, memory, executive functioning, and emotional regulation.
Each assessment is tailored to the individual, ensuring a precise understanding of their unique challenges. With an accurate diagnosis, personalized treatment plans are created to improve focus, behavior, and emotional health, enabling more effective ADHD management.
ADHD is often underdiagnosed, with studies reporting fewer than 20% of adults receiving proper diagnosis and treatment despite its significant impact on daily life. Untreated ADHD can lead to a range of issues, including higher risks of substance abuse, depression, and even criminal behavior. Early and accurate testing is crucial for identifying ADHD and preventing these adverse outcomes.
At KMN Psych, our ADHD testing process in San Diego thoroughly evaluates cognitive and behavioral patterns, either confirming or ruling out ADHD. In doing so, psychological testing results guide tailored interventions, educational accommodations, and treatment plans that enhance daily functioning, productivity, and long-term success.
