Comprehensive ADHD Assessment CAARS

ADHD can manifest itself not only as a separate disease, but also be part of other disorders, such as depression, anxiety, autism, dyslexia, behavioral disorders, head and neck injuries, mental injuries and the consequences of violence, personality disorders, etc. ADHD does not go away with age and can negatively affect the quality of life of an adult.

Symptoms of ADHD:
Attention deficit, inability to focus on tasks, forgetfulness.
Hyperactivity, which is associated with unbridled energy, constant movement and restlessness.
Difficulty controlling impulsivity, impatience, and constantly interrupting others in a conversation, or, on the contrary, ignoring requests.
Problems with planning time and meeting deadlines, procrastination.

Stages of diagnosis and treatment of ADHD
The gold standard for detecting ADHD in patients is testing using the CAARS international clinical psychodiagnostic technique.

CAARS (Conners' Adult ADHD Rating Scales) is a standardized test that helps to assess the symptoms of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder in adults, and most importantly to help make an effective program of correction or therapy of the disease. This test allows the doctor to get an assessment of the symptoms of ADHD, clarify their duration and severity of the disorder, and determine the impact on the functioning of the patient's body.

For an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, specialists at the Dr. Zhyvago Psychiatry and Psychotherapy Clinic offer packages that include tests to detect not only ADHD, but also disorders that may have similar symptoms.

Based on the results of the diagnosis, specialists provide recommendations on further steps to correct or treat the disorder in both adults and children.
