Assessments provide a structured and comprehensive approach to diagnose psychological disorders. It helps in identifying the presence, chronicity, and impairment caused by symptoms, which can guide treatment planning and intervention. Furthermore, it aids in distinguishing your condition from other that may have similar symptoms, thereby increasing diagnostic accuracy.
Assessments
ADHD Assessment
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a condition that involves a constellation of symptoms, including difficulty in paying attention, impulsive behaviours, and being overly active. These tests can help in determining the type of ADHD as well as the severity of the condition.
Autism Assessment
Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often have issues with social interactions and communication, and they may have repetitive behaviours or actions. These tests can help in determining the severity of ASD in individuals.
OCD Assessment
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a condition that is characterised by a pattern of unwanted thoughts and fears (obsessions) that result in repetitive behaviours (compulsions). These tests can be used to measure the type and severity of OCD in individuals.
Projective Tests
Several psychological theories posit that everyone has certain thoughts that they are not aware of, but these thoughts still affect their behaviour, thoughts and feelings. Such thoughts are known as subconscious thoughts. Projective tests are designed to measure such thoughts.
Personality Tests
Our personalities are essentially a constellation of the different behaviours that we tend to exhibit. Taking a personality test may reveal a lot about yourself and it can also help your therapist or psychiatrist to determine the best approach for your treatment.
