3 3 Learning Objectives After completing this module, participants will be able to: identify and properly assess adult patients with ADHD identify assessment tools that will assist you in conducting a credible ADHD evaluation in adults
4 4 Case Vignette Karen is a 20 year old college sophomore who reports current problems with concentration, easy distractibility, impulsivity, forgetfulness, restlessness, fidgeting, and disorganization. She is having trouble studying, paying attention in lectures, sustaining her effort and motivation, and getting her work done. Her symptoms are causing her great frustration, poor grades, and a feeling that she is not working up to her potential. She is concerned that she may have ADHD and is seeking your help to determine if she has it and how she can treat it.
5 5 Case Vignette (cont.) Your assessment of Karen might include all of the following EXCEPT: 1. Ask her to complete an ADHD rating scale for current and childhood functioning 2. Prescribe a stimulant medication to see if it helps her symptoms 3. Consult with a parent about her past and present symptoms and functioning 4. Inspect any available school records, report cards, teacher comments, progress reports etc. for evidence of ADHD-like symptoms or impairment 5. Conduct an interview with Karen to obtain additional information and history and to explore alternative explanations for her symptoms 6. Refer her to a psychologist for additional testing
6 An Adult ADHD Assessment should be designed to answer four fundamental questions: 6 1. Is there credible evidence that the patient experienced ADHD symptoms in early childhood, and that at least by the middle school years, these led to substantial and chronic impairment across settings? 2. Is there credible evidence that ADHD symptoms currently cause significant impairment across settings?
7 7 Four Fundamental Questions 3. Are there explanations other than ADHD that better account for the clinical picture? 4. For patients who meet criteria for ADHD, is there evidence for the existence of co-morbid conditions?
8 Primary Care Providers Should Suspect ADHD When Patients 1 8 have organizational skill problems have an erratic school and work history indicate they have anger control problems are overly-talkative, interrupt frequently or inappropriately have marital problems and/or parenting problems have trouble with money management have substance use or abuse problems have frequent accidents, problems with driving 1. Canadian ADHD Resource Alliance (CADDRA) (2008). Canadian ADHD Practice Guidelines.
9 Current DSM-IV-TR Diagnostic Criteria for ADHD 1 9 Are listed in the DSM-IV-TR List 18 symptoms in two symptom dimensions: Inattention and Hyperactive- Impulsive Must exhibit 6 or more Inattentive or Hyperactive-Impulsive symptoms for at least 6 months to a degree that is maladaptive and inconsistent with developmental level 1. American Psychiatric Association (2001). Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (4 th ed.).
10 DSM-IV Criteria: of 9 Inattention Symptoms Often: fails to give close attention to details difficulty sustaining attention does not seem to listen does not follow through on instructions difficulty organizing tasks or activities avoids tasks requiring sustained mental effort loses things necessary for tasks easily distracted forgetful in daily activities 1. American Psychiatric Association (2001). Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (4 th ed.).
11 DSM-IV Criteria: 11 6 of 9 Hyperactive-Impulsive Often: fidgets with hands or feet or squirms in seat leaves seat in classroom inappropriately runs about or climbs excessively has difficulty playing quietly is on the go or driven by a motor talks excessively blurts out answers before questions are completed has difficulty awaiting turn interrupts or intrudes on others
12 12 Current Diagnostic Criteria (cont) 1 Onset before age 7? 2,3 Impairment in 2 or more settings Must be clear evidence of clinically significant impairment in social, academic, or occupational functioning Subtypes: Predominantly Inattentive Type, Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Type, and Combined Type 1.

13 What Differentiates ADHD from normal symptoms of everyday life? Greater number of the 18 symptoms Symptoms occur more frequently and with greater severity in ADHD Developmental deviance IMPACT is far greater and results in chronic and pervasive impairment in major life activities New research has shown deficits in executive functioning (EF) for adults with ADHD 1, Barkley, R.

14 Impact of Executive Function Deficits on Adult Functioning 1,2 Poor persistence towards tasks/goals 14 Failing to plan ahead or anticipate future consequences Poor time management Poor emotional self-control Impulsive decision making Disorganization 1.

15 Impact of Executive Function Deficits on Adult Functioning (2) 1,2 15 Problems keeping promises and commitments to others Difficulty keeping track of several things at once and seeing them to completion Inability to stop an ongoing enjoyable activity to shift to a more important or urgent task Depending on others for maintaining order and goal direction 1.

16 Impact of Executive Function Deficits on Adult Functioning (3) 1,2 Underachievement in school Loss of jobs/impaired work performance Unsatisfactory relationships Poorer driving performance/outcomes Poor money management Trouble organizing a household and raising children Barkley, R.

17 17 ADHD Assessment Principles Thorough and comprehensive not mere symptom counts Include collateral informants when possible Obtain historical records when possible Attempt to establish childhood onset, chronicity, severity, and pervasiveness of impairment 1 Rule outs 1. Canadian ADHD Resource Alliance (CADDRA) (2008). Canadian ADHD Practice Guidelines.
18 18 Ruling Out Alternative Explanations for ADHD Symptoms 1 Transient situational stressors (divorce, career change, grief, family/lifestyle changes, etc.) Medical conditions (chronic fatigue, thyroid conditions, diabetes, aging/menopause, medication side effects) Other psychiatric disorders (Bipolar, substance abuse, depression, anxiety disorders, personality disorders) 1. Canadian ADHD Resource Alliance (CADDRA) (2008). Canadian ADHD Practice Guidelines.
19 19 Assessment Tools to Help Diagnose Adult ADHD Structured Interview Tools Self-Reporting Symptom Rating Scales Historical Records (report cards, SPED records, Individualized Educational Plans (IEP s), job performance reviews, prior psychological evaluation reports) Neuropsychological Tests
20 Components of an ADHD Evaluation 20 A typical evaluation does not require lengthy structured interviews or a comprehensive neuropsychological testing battery Accurate diagnosis can be obtained via a traditional history taking and records review combined with use of: -Rating Scales -Clinical interview that focuses on ADHD diagnostic criteria
21 21 Structured Interviews An ADULT ADHD INTERVIEW (reviews history, domains of impairment, and presence of common co-morbid conditions) 1 BRIEF SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEW FOR ADHD IN ADULTS 2 BARKLEY S QUICK-CHECK FOR ADULT ADHD DIAGNOSIS (new validated 18 question interview assessing current and childhood ADHD symptoms and areas of impairment) 1. Barkley, R. A., Murphy, K.R. (2005). Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: A Clinical Workbook. (3 rd Ed). New York: Guilford Press, Parker, H. & Ellison, P.A. (2010). Brief Semi-Structured Interview for ADHD in Adults. National Association for Continuing Education, Plantation, FL.
22 22 Self-Report Scales Alone, a rating scale (RS) is a screening device to determine if a more thorough evaluation is necessary RS data or symptom counts alone are never sufficient to make a diagnosis of ADHD in adults But they are very useful in helping to establish the diagnosis when combined with clinical interviews and other data
23 23 Commonly Used Self-Report Scales ADULT ADHD SELF REPORT SCALE (ASRS) developed by WHO and includes 18 items corresponding to the DSM-IV TR criteria for ADHD; a Screener version of 6 select items is known as THE ASRS SCREENER 1,2 BARKLEY S ADULT ADHD QUICK SCREEN; 13 item validated questionnaire based on recent research assessing current ADHD symptoms and impairments in major life activities 1. Canadian ADHD Resource Alliance (CADDRA) (2008). Canadian ADHD Practice Guidelines World Health Organization (WHO) and the Workgroup on Adult ADHD (2005). Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS v1.1) Symptom Checklist
24 24 Commonly Used Self-Report Scales (2) CONNERS ADULT ATTENTION DEFICIT RATING SCALE (CAARS); 42 item validated scale covering 6 areas of functioning including the DSM-IV-TR ADHD symptoms BROWN ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER SCALE (BADDS); has a self report and a significant other report on the same form; measures ADHD symptoms and various executive functioning deficits
25 25 When To Refer When patient is presenting with symptoms of a major mental illness, serious mood disorder, substance dependence, or other complex co-morbid psychiatric symptoms When you are confused about the patient s presentation, unsure about ADHD, and uncomfortable about the idea of prescribing ADHD medication for this person When you suspect drug seeking behavior
26 26 Internal Experience of Adult ADHD Intense frustration Demoralization Learned helplessness Trouble finishing tasks Underachievement Feeling chronically misunderstood I would if I could, but I can t.
27 Situational Variability of 27 ADHD Symptoms Explains why adults may function better in one setting versus another tasks of high interest versus tasks that are repetitive or boring grade variability at school Spousal reactions
28 28 Summary Key Assessment Points ADHD is a legitimate and serious disorder that is associated with significant impairment in multiple life domains including school, work, social relationships, driving, money management, and daily adaptive functioning ADHD is associated with significant co-morbidity; most commonly oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, substance abuse, dysthymia, major depression, and anxiety disorders
29 29 Summary Key Assessment Points (2) ADHD has an onset in early childhood or adolescence, persists into adulthood in most cases, and causes chronic and pervasive impairment over time and across situations ADHD is not an adult-onset disorder Clinicians should always attempt to rule out other reasons for ADHD-like symptoms before concluding ADHD is present
30 Summary Key Assessment Points (3) 30 A trial of a stimulant medication is not a test for ADHD There is no litmus test for ADHD; none of the assessment tools described here should be used as a stand alone diagnostic measure Rather, rating scales, interviews with patients and collateral informants, testing, and historical records should be used in combination
