Following up

“Medication, while helpful, is in most cases not sufficient to meet the needs of adult clients” Mary V. Solanto

Research has shown that the most effective long term outcomes are the use of medication and therapy.

I apply a new psychosocial model utilizing behavioral and cognitive behavioural methods including 4^th wave Mindfulness, to impart skills and strategies to enhance clients to manage time, organize, and learn to regulate their emotions more efficiencly and effectively. This is a 6 session programme.

Although a clinical diagnosis is recommended with a Profession Clinician you can fill in the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-v1.1) Symptom Checklist. if you are questioning some observations about yourself. I must stress this isn’t a diagnosis but with waiting list as they are for diagnosis this may provide some information for you.
