QB Test for ADHD

Test for Focus

What is a QB Test?

QB Test is a computerized ADD/ADHD exam that evaluates your abilities to maintain attention, minimize movement, and abstain from impulsivity.  Test results are assembled into a report for your psychiatrist to compare your results to a large control group of patients your same age and gender.  You will be able to visualize how your focus compares to that of people that do not have ADHD.  

QB Test is the most widely used FDA approved test for ADHD in the world, and Your Family Psychiatrist is revolutionizing care by being one of the only treatment centers in Texas utilizing this advanced software.

How should QB Test be used?

​Assessing for ADHD is much more complicated than most people imagine.  There are many potential causes of inattention and distractibility.  While there is no single tool that provides all of the answers, the QbTest provides objective data that combines with a clinical evaluation to help your clinician reach an accurate diagnosis.  The Qb Test is approved for those 6-60 years old.

The Qb Test also provides a valuable baseline measurement that can help your physician determine the extent of the effectiveness of your medication dosage.  QbTest is the only FDA cleared test to evaluate the effectiveness of medication in individual patients.  This helps your physician to track performance over time.  Your psychiatrist can now monitor treatment like never before.  

How is a Qb Test performed?

This ADHD test takes about 20-30 minutes to complete.  An initial tutorial with the test monitor will be provided.  Your job is to push a responder button when certain symbols appear on the screen.  The ADHD test is universal meaning that language, mathematics, and reading are not required.

Qb Test and Your Family Psychiatrist

QbTech is a Swedish based company that designed QbTest to revolutionize ADD/ADHD treatment.  Your Family Psychiatrist is proud to be one of the exclusive private practices in Texas to offer diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring services utilizing the objective data behind QbTest.  QbTech is continuing to collaborate with Your Family Psychiatrist to provide the most up-to-date ADHD test approved by the FDA.  We diagnose ADHD with a high degree of certainty.

It helped when you mentioned that it is more complicated than most people imagine assessing for ADHD. My cousin mentioned to me last night that she is planning to have an ADD evaluation for my nephew because he is having a hard time learning and asked if I have any idea where is the best option to consider. Thanks to this informative article and I'll be sure to tell her that it will be much better if she consults a trusted ADD testing service in town as they can answer all her inquiries.

I'm glad that you talked about inattention and distractibility can be caused by a variety of factors. While no one instrument can give all of the answers, the QbTest can assist your doctor to obtain an accurate diagnosis by providing objective data that can be used with a clinical examination. One of my parents' friends needs to know this article because they are trying to find specific information about it in a couple of days. Thank you for the tips about ADHD diagnostic.
