Getting the right ADHD diagnosis can feel overwhelming, especially when symptoms overlap with other conditions or daily stress.
It’s easy to wonder, are these just everyday struggles, or is something else entirely?
The good news is that assessment tools like the QB Test clarify things.
They add solid, science-based results to the picture, which can help you and your provider find real answers.
At Today Telemedicine, we want the process to be simple and supportive. We use objective testing so you get care that feels right for you!
Moving Beyond Guesswork in ADHD Diagnosis
Diagnosis for ADHD has long been based on:
- Provider interviews and forms
- Reports about daily life from you or those who know you well
- Observations (sometimes just in one setting)
These approaches are important but do not necessarily give a complete picture.
People’s experiences are individual, and, at times, it is not easy to describe emotions or hardships.
ADHD can even appear similar to other health problems.
Adding objective data can bring more confidence to your diagnosis.
What Happens in a Neuropsychological Assessment?
A neuropsychological test is used to gauge the performance of your brain. It does not just discuss challenges; it examines how you react to some tasks.
For ADHD, these assessments focus on things like:
- Attention. Can you stay focused for a set time?
- Impulsivity. How easy is it to hold back instead of acting right away?
- Activity. Do you feel restless or need to move a lot during tasks?
The QB Test is an FDA-cleared, computer-based tool that measures these areas and gives your provider details about what’s happening.
Why the QB Test Can Help
The QB Test doesn’t require any tricky instructions or hours of your time. Here’s what you can expect:
- The test takes about 15–20 minutes, usually on a computer
- You’ll respond to shapes shown on the screen by pressing a button when needed
- A camera keeps track of your movements while you work
When you finish, your scores are compared to those of people your age and gender who don’t have ADHD.
This helps your provider notice any patterns that really stand out, so they can give you a diagnosis and plan that match your real needs.
