Problem:
Once in practice, my approach to Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) would begin with a detailed assessment, including a clinical interview to understand the patient's history, symptoms, and the impact on their daily life. I would then review any previous assessments or diagnoses if this was an established patient. I would then utilize a validated diagnostic tool such as the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS) to gather further information, and I would like to gather more information from family members or friends that can provide me with additional insight into behaviors. I would endeavor to rule out other conditions that can be confused with ADHD, such as mood disorders, autism, depression, conduct disorder, anxiety, or learning disabilities. As for treatment I would begin with a non-stimulant i.e., atomoxetine as my state requires medical doctors to prescribe schedule II medications. A non-pharmacological intervention I would employ is cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which has been proven to be effective with ADHD. Rewrite this statement. Need Assignment Help?
