?? Why do I love using PsychNow and Qbtech for #adultadhd assessments? A young professional reached out to me on a Friday at 3PM. He had already called a number of psychiatry and psychotherapy practices - they were all expensive and slow. Using the Psychnow platform, I was able to complete a deep dive, high quality consultation and meet with the patient at 6PM that evening. We decided that he would complete an ADHD assessment including a computer test of attention (Qbcheck) and executive functioning assessments (BDEFS for him and his wife). He completed all the assessments over the weekend and we met to debrief Tuesday evening. By Wednesday he was ready to implement his treatment plan. ? From outreach to treatment in 3 business days. ? High quality subjective and objective ADHD assessment. ? Time to go deep into treatment options including both medication and non-medication interventions. That is the power of working smarter in mental health.

?? neuroscience alert?? Check out this mind-blowing paper on the Default Mode Network (DMN) - potentially the neurological correlate of what Freud called the "ego" a century ago. The DMN actively integrates our personal experiences, memories, and mental models with incoming information, creating our sense of self. It's where our idiosyncratic inner world meets shared social reality. Even more intriguing: this network looks different in #ADHD brains and during #psychedelic experiences. Key Points Summary: ?? Default Mode Network (DMN) as integrative system: DMN actively integrates extrinsic information with intrinsic knowledge to create context-dependent models of situations. ?? Beyond the intrinsic/extrinsic dichotomy: DMN processes both external stimuli and internal memories, challenging its traditional classification as purely "intrinsic." ?? Long temporal processing: DMN operates over extended timescales (seconds to minutes), integrating information as events unfold over time. ?? Content over form: DMN responses are driven by stimulus meaning rather than low-level properties, showing similar patterns across different presentation modalities. ?? Individualized processing: DMN activity is shaped by personal history, prior knowledge, and beliefs, making each person's neural responses uniquely idiosyncratic. ?? Social bridge function: DMN provides a neural space where individual perspective meets shared social understanding, facilitating communication and shared meaning.
