[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 342709, member: 2423"] A psychologist, just like a neuropsychologist, can score Connors tests for AD(H)D and give a diagnosis. It's not that hard. But I personally think a lot more goes into that diagnosis than scoring questionnaires. FWIW, my daughter M was given a diagnosis of ADHD-inattentive after hours of neuropsychologist testing. I told the neuropsychologist I didn't believe the diagnosis because she has severe anxiety. Because of the diagnosis, her psychiatrist talked to us about starting M on stimulants, but husband and I refused. Instead, we talked to the psychiatrist about increasing M's anxiety medications and her "inattention" improved. Lesson learned. [/QUOTE]
