A student of my brought me a questionairre that they received from a
counselor and was asking about the reliability and validity. It is the
CAARS-Observer: Long Version (CAARS-O:L). Can anyone tell me about this
measurement?
Also, her family member was diagnosed with bipolar disorder many
years ago. He has recently returned to treatment (after many years of not taking
meds). The counselor/clinician (?) has diagnosed him with adult ADHD. She wanted
to know if this is a common diagnosis or if his manic episodes could
be diagnosed as ADHD. He was prescribed ritalin and she is worried that
this medication may not be appropriate for a bipolar with a history of drug
abuse.
Since I am not a clinician, I don't know much about the diagnosis of adult
ADHD. Any comments would be appreciated.
