Hi guys I just got diagnosed with combined ADHD and the past few days I've felt so tired and burnt out. I play tennis and also need to study, and I'm finding it so hard to practice (because there's a lot of repetition) and also study. I want new experiences and hate routine, but now it feels as though I can't bring myself to do routine work. Am i just understimulated or is this ADHD burnout? Also how do i get over this im so tired. Thanks
Hey everyone,
I recently had a full ADHD assessment done (CAARS, DIVA interview, attention tests, etc.) and the psychologist concluded that there is a high presence of ADHD symptomatology consistent with ADHD combined type in my report. However, they used the word 'symptomatology' so Im just confused if I have ADHD or not.
I’ve been told it is an official clinical report, but I’m still a bit confused about what that means in terms of “formal diagnosis” vs assessment report.
Can this kind of report usually be used as an official ADHD diagnosis for school/work/medical purposes? Or does it depend on the country/clinician?
I live in Spain, maybe here they have different systems.
Just trying to understand how this works. Thanks!
I recently had an ADHD assessment. The psychologist told me after the evaluation that she thinks I have ADHD (combined presentation), but the written report isn't ready yet.
She seemed quite confident during the assessment, discussed treatment options, and even mentioned that medication could potentially help with studying. She also noted some things during the D2 attention test and my behaviour during the interview.
My question is: for those who have been assessed, if your psychologist verbally told you they thought you had ADHD before the report was written, did the final report end up matching what they told you verbally?
I'm currently waiting for the report and I'm probably being impatient!!
