QB Testing
Objective ADHD Assessment for Accurate Diagnosis
At Peace of Mind Psychiatry & Wellness, we understand that diagnosing Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can be complex. Many symptoms overlap with other conditions like anxiety, depression, or stress, making it challenging to get an accurate diagnosis based on observation alone.
That’s why we use the Qb Test, an FDA-cleared, evidence-based tool designed to provide objective data about attention, impulsivity, and activity levels. When combined with clinical evaluation, the Qb Test helps us make a more accurate diagnosis and create a personalized treatment plan that supports your well-being.
What Is the Qb Test?
The Qb Test is a computer-based assessment that measures attention, impulsivity, and motor activity, the three core symptoms of ADHD. During the test, you’ll be asked to respond to certain visual or auditory cues while the system tracks your responses and physical movement using advanced motion-tracking technology. The results are then compared to data from individuals of the same age and gender, allowing our clinicians to clearly see patterns related to ADHD or other attention-related challenges.This objective information helps ensure a more accurate diagnosis and better treatment outcomes.
Signs and Symptoms That May Indicate ADHD
Recognizing ADHD symptoms early can make a significant difference in daily life, academic success, and emotional well-being.
