1 Washington University Habif Health and Wellness Center ADHD Pre-Appointment Documents The following packet MUST be completed prior to our scheduled appointment. Please fill out the questionnaires and return them at least ONE WEEK before your appointment otherwise your appointment will be cancelled and need to be rescheduled. You will be sent a reminder . If you have been previously diagnosed with ADHD, you will need a copy of any psychological testing as well as a letter/record from your most recent prescribing physician with documentation of diagnosis, medication, and dose. If you do not have copies of these records, a release of information form will need to be completed so we can access this information. Please note that having a previous diagnosis does not automatically mean you will meet diagnostic criteria currently. Sometimes other mental health concerns (e.g., feeling depressed, using alcohol) can mimic the symptoms of ADHD. If you have received assistance for any mental health concern or substance abuse issue (currently or in the past), we will need a copy of those records (e.g., treatment summary from your counselor/psychiatrist). If you do not have copies of these records, a release of information form will need to be completed so we can access this information. Additional information from someone who knew you well as a child may be needed to determine a diagnosis (e.g., parent, grandparent, teacher). If this is the case, we will need to ask you to complete a release of information for someone who knew you well as a child. If an accurate diagnosis cannot be determined after evaluating your information and meeting with the psychiatrist, further evaluation outside of the Student Health Service may be required. Your doctor will determine whether this is the case. Please call if you have any questions or need assistance with completing this information.

Sometimes I hurt people s feelings without meaning to because I speak before I think. I got in trouble in school for talking or misbehaving. I am a risk taker. I make decisions quickly. When I have a job to do, I just dive in and figure it out as I go. I have had more than my share of speeding tickets or car accidents.

I am unrealistic about how long a task will take. I tend to make too many commitments. I am often late for appointments or meetings.

I can t tear myself away from activities I like, even when I know I will be late for something. I usually do what I like, and put off things that I ought to do. The only way I can get myself to do boring projects or tasks is to wait until the deadline. I have started and dropped many interests.

STIMULANTS I drink four or more cups of coffee or coke per day. I have used No-Doze or other stimulant pills to keep alert on more than one occasion. Smoking cigarettes helps me concentrate when I study/do paperwork. FRUSTRATION TOLERANCE I have been called impatient. I become easily frustrated. It is hard to tolerate people who do things slowly. I hate to wait. I tend to give up quickly if I can t figure out how to do something. ANGER I fought frequently as a child. I have a short fuse. If someone raises her or his voice at me, I yell back. I have punched holes in walls or doors out of anger.
4 I usually become angry if I am criticized. It is almost impossible for me to remain calm if someone is acting in an angry manner toward me. I tend to be moody. EMOTIONAL LABILITY My feelings (positive or negative) are very intense. I have thin skin. I have very intense premenstrual symptoms of moodiness or emotionality. I tend to overreact. I cry more often than my friends do. As a child, I was teased for getting upset. ACADEMICS I have been called an underachiever. School seemed boring and frustrating for as long as I can remember. My grades went down in junior high compared to elementary school. My siblings were better students than I was. I was diagnosed with learning problems. My teachers and parents always felt I was unmotivated in school. My grades varied from A s to F s. My low grades were often resulted in not turning in homework. Even when I studied hard for tests, during the exam I blanked out and couldn t remember information. Careless errors have frequently lowered my grades. ANXIETY/DEMORALIZATION/DEPRESSION I have had periods when I felt depressed for weeks or months. I have felt so anxious and overwhelmed that I felt like quitting my job/school. I worry a lot about my future. I m afraid I ll never get my act together. I have occasionally felt suicidal. Often I drink or party just to get my mind off my troubles.

14 CONTRACT FOR ADHD MANAGEMENT Stimulants, including medications such as Ritalin and Adderall, are controlled substances (Schedule II medications) that are used in the treatment of ADHD. The goal is to improve ADHD symptoms with minimal drug side effects. Compliance with the following guidelines is important to the continuation of medication management by your psychiatrist. 1. I will provide the psychiatrist with a complete and accurate treatment history, including past testing records, past medical records, past treatment and any drug addiction history. 2. I will inform the provider of all drug side effects regarding prescribed medication. 3. I will take medications only at the dose and frequency prescribed. 4. I will not increase or change the dose of my medication without the approval of my psychiatrist. 5. I will not request or obtain stimulants from physicians other than from my psychiatrist. 6. I will, where possible, have all prescriptions filled at a single pharmacy. 7. I will protect my prescription and medications. Lost or possibly stolen stimulant medication or prescriptions may or may not be rewritten at the discretion of the psychiatrist. I will report such an incident to the WUPD or the University City Police Department. 8. Failure to make appointments within the recommended time frame, keep scheduled appointments, and /or cancel my appointment a minimum of 24 hours prior to the appointment may result in inability for my psychiatrist to continue prescribing medication. This is necessary because the FDA requires close monitoring of these medications and it helps your psychiatrist to provide you with quality care. 9. If I need a refill before my scheduled appointment, I will call and request the refill. Stimulant medications cannot be refilled early. Most scripts can be picked up in 24 to 48 hours. Prescriptions for stimulant refills cannot be called into a pharmacy. We will call you when the prescription is ready. 10. I understand that my stimulant treatment may be stopped if any of the following occur: The psychiatrist feels that stimulants are not effective for me I develop side effects that are significant in the view of the psychiatrist. I develop rapid tolerance or loss of effects from this treatment. I misuse, share or sell my prescribed medication. I alter my prescriptions. I take, sell or misuse other drugs. I obtain stimulants from sources other than my psychiatrist. 11. I understand that if I have any questions or concerns regarding my treatment, I will call my psychiatrist. I have read this form and agree to follow the guidelines as outlined above. Signed (Patient): Date: Signed (Physician): Date:
