How Can I Find Out If I Have Any Features of ADD?
It is now possible for us to accurately diagnose and effectively treat all of the Discomforts and Dysfunctions of the 6 different types of ADD. This means that all ADD sufferers can now be helped to feel normal, to function normally and to live Normal Happy Lives. It also means that the many ADD people who are gifted in music, art, colours, drama, literature or sport etc, can now aspire to be High Achievers without the danger of Substance Abuse or Addiction causing them to crash and burn, as has happened to so many of these people in the past.
Most Doctors, Psychiatrists and Psychologists diagnose ADD through consultations,
and sometimes with SPECT brain scans. It may involve
several consultations with a Doctor, Psychiatrist or Psychologist, and
completing tests and scans. This can be time consuming and too costly,
especially for people who live in poorer areas with limited medical and other resources, where most ADD occurs.
However,
thanks to modern technology, accurate diagnosis can now be made efficiently, quickly and cost effectively with computerized, internet enabled,
SelfHelp Checklists. These Computerised Checklists ask all of the questions
needed to make an accurate Assessment. Checklists never forget anything, and the patient
has usually already started to understand what ADD is by the time they have
read and answered the ADD Checklist questions. The understanding of ADD and problem solving solutions advance every time the patient repeats the Checklists. Each time the Checklists are done the Scores for each answers show clearly which parts of the treatment have been effective and which have not been effective. The treatment can then be refocussed abd made more effective so that the patient gets better more quickly.
At Dr Neil Beck’s Family NeuroHealth Centre and on the Internet these Computerized Checklists, namely The Beck Mini Discomforts/Dysfunctions Checklist (The Mini DDC) and The Beck MAXI ADD Checklist (The Beck MAXI ADD) are used extensively by many patients as a Diagnostic, Learning and Progress Assessment tool.
If you find it hard to get to a Doctor, or want to get assessed immediately without having to wait for an appointment with a specialist, at anytime you can simply go to www.DrBecksChecklists.com, do the Checklists and find out first hand if you or anyone you know has got ADD.
