The QbTest is an objective way to measure the three main symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) – hyperactivity, attention deficit and impulsivity – in children, adolescents and adults.

The need to take the test is decided by the mental health specialist dealing with you (psychiatrist, psychologist, mental health nurse).

The test alone is not sufficient to answer the question of whether ADHD is present, the test system is used to support the diagnosis and to determine the response to treatment and the progress of treatment. The test answers are in English and for medical use, the test results are interpreted by a specialist trained for this purpose.

The test is administered by a mental health nurse. The interpretation of the test results is not included in the price of the testing, for this please book an appointment with a psychiatrist. If necessary, the mental health nurse will provide information about further activities related to ATH diagnostics.

For subjects who are not receiving treatment at the Confido Mental Health Center, we will issue the test results via e-mail within seven working days.

The duration of the test is 45 minutes and can be used in the age range of 6-60 years.

Important to know before testing:

• Come to the test rested
• Eat and drink enough

• Inform the person conducting the test about the medications you are taking and also about other substances that may affect your ability to concentrate
