"Assessing ADHD: 17 Questions to Determine the Need for Medication"

A psychiatrist and therapist, Dr. Melissa Shepard, has shared the 17 questions she asks her patients to determine whether or not they have ADHD. These questions cover various symptoms and behaviors associated with ADHD, such as trouble focusing, restlessness, disorganization, difficulty completing tasks, and sensitivity to criticism. Dr. Shepard emphasizes that these questions are not a self-diagnosis tool, but rather a starting point for discussion with a healthcare professional. ADHD symptoms can overlap with other mental health issues, so it's important to consult a doctor or therapist for a proper assessment.
