Question
The patient reports experiencing slow reaction times, unclear thinking, and difficulty remembering cards during card games. The patient also often finds it hard to express themselves during work-related interactions with colleagues. The patient suspects they may have ADHD and seeks treatment advice.
Answer
Based on the patient’s description, their symptoms do not align with the characteristics of ADHD. If memory issues only occur during card games, it may simply be a lack of proficiency in that activity. However, if similar problems arise in multiple situations, it could be related to IQ. It is recommended that the patient undergo an IQ test, such as the Stanford-Binet Scale or the Wechsler Intelligence Scales, which can be found online or by visiting a local mental health center for professional psychological counseling.
