What is the difference between a diagnosis and a working diagnosis?

A diagnosis is often a documented conclusion that ADHD criteria are considered met for that clinician's record. A working diagnosis is a current best clinical formulation that may be revised with more information. It can still guide treatment, including medication in some settings, but it is not the same as a closed, documented final diagnosis in every record system. FasTreat also offers private online ADHD assessment and ongoing care, depending on your needs and clinical assessment.
