ADHD Testing in Fort Wayne

Understanding ADHD: More Than Just “Being Hyper”

ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is one of the most common mental health conditions, yet also one of the most misunderstood. Many still think ADHD means being “hyper” or unable to sit still. In reality, ADHD is about how the brain’s communication networks function.

ADHD affects the prefrontal and striatal brain circuits that regulate focus, planning, motivation, and emotional control. When these brain networks don’t communicate effectively, symptoms may include:

  • Difficulty paying attention or finishing tasks
  • Forgetfulness and disorganization
  • Impulsivity or restlessness
  • Emotional swings and stress sensitivity
  • Struggles with motivation despite effort

Because ADHD looks different in every person, a thorough, network-based evaluation is essential. At Viking Psychiatry, we combine advanced testing tools with clinical expertise to provide a comprehensive understanding of how your brain functions.

ADHD Testing for Teens & Adults (Ages 13 and Up)adhd testing types

We specialize in comprehensive ADHD evaluations for ages 13 and older. Whether you’re a student falling behind in school, an adult struggling with focus at work, or a parent concerned about your teen, our process is designed to deliver clarity and direction.

Our ADHD Testing Process

We don’t rely on a single tool. Instead, we employ a three-layered approach that examines how your brain networks communicate, how your cognitive skills are functioning, and which subtype of ADHD you may have.

  1. Total Brain Assessment
  • What it is: A neuroscience-based digital assessment measuring 12 brain capacities across attention, memory, emotion, and self-control.
  • Why it matters: ADHD disrupts network communication between the prefrontal cortex and deeper brain systems. Total Brain identifies which circuits are underperforming.
  • What it shows:
    • Attention control and focus
    • Memory and recall
    • Emotional regulation and stress resilience
    • Self-control and impulsivity
  • Benefit: Provides a whole-brain map, highlighting both strengths and weaknesses that guide individualized care.
  1. Creyos Cognitive Testing (formerly Cambridge Brain Sciences)
  • What it is: A set of clinically validated tasks that measure executive function, the brain’s “control center” skills.
  • Why it matters: ADHD is linked to disruptions in executive function, particularly in the frontal brain networks.
  • What it shows:
    • Working memory (holding and using information)
    • Processing speed (thinking and reacting quickly)
    • Problem-solving and decision-making
    • Sustained attention and flexibility
  • Benefit: Produces objective, trackable data. Results can be repeated over time to measure improvement and guide adjustments to treatment.
  1. Amen Clinics ADHD Subtyping Questionnaires
  • What it is: Structured questionnaires that identify seven subtypes of ADHD (inattentive, impulsive, over-focused, limbic, anxious, temporal lobe, and ring of fire).
  • Why it matters: Two people with ADHD may present very differently. Traditional “yes/no” testing misses this nuance. Subtyping helps us identify the specific type of ADHD present.
  • What it shows:
    • Behavioral patterns
    • Emotional responses
    • Co-existing issues like anxiety or mood concerns
  • Benefit: Creates a personalized ADHD profile, which guides targeted treatment—from medication selection to therapy and lifestyle recommendations.

Why We Combine These Tools

Using just one ADHD test isn’t enough. Symptoms can overlap with anxiety, depression, trauma, or learning differences. By combining Total Brain (networks), Creyos (cognitive skills), and Amen Subtyping (behavioral patterns), we get a three-dimensional view of how your brain communicates.

This approach helps us:

  • Confirm ADHD with confidence
  • Differentiate ADHD from other conditions
  • Identify the specific brain networks involved
  • Build a personalized treatment plan tailored to you
