T.A.C.T. vs OCD Test

1.The TACT is a continuous performance test designed to measure errors of commission, errors of omission and variability of scoring over a 15 minute time span. 2.A total score is given with the number of accurate responses (omissions) and mistakes (commissions) as well as a score minute by minute. 3. It can be used to demonstrate clinical response to stimulant medication for patients and families. 4. It is not a diagnostic test for ADHD. It demonstrates clinical improvement 90 minutes from baseline after medication has been taken. 5. It should be administered by a physician or a specifically trained healthcare professional such as a nurse or psychologist in association with a physician. 6. It can be considered part of the assessment and treatment of ADHD and the response to medication. 7. It does not replace a comprehensive clinical assessment and evaluation. 8. It can be used for research purposes.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) may present with obsessions, compulsions, or both. Obsessions and compulsions are often distressing, time-consuming, and impairing. Everyone has worried about germs or losing something or someone getting hurt. These thoughts tend to be fleeting and do not disrupt daily living. If these thoughts are constantly occurring, uncontrollable, intrusive, and cause a lot of anxiety or stress, then they may be considered 'obsessions.' Everyone has felt the need to double check that the door is locked or arrange items in a correct way. If you perform these actions like a ritual or with rigid rules in order to prevent or reduce anxious thoughts, or if these actions greatly disrupt your life, then they may be considered 'compulsions.' This app is designed to evaluate your symptoms of OCD with a scientifically-supported 18-question test. It uses the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory - Revised (OCI-R), a screening questionnaire for OCD that is commonly used in research and healthcare settings. The OCI-R is also helpful for monitoring your OCD-related symptoms during and after treatment. OCD Test contains four tools: - Start Test: take the OCI-R questionnaire to assess OCD symptoms - History: see a history of your test scores to monitor your symptoms over time - Information: learn about OCD and discover additional resources that can help you on your path to recovery - Reminder: set up notifications to re-take the questionnaire at your convenience Disclaimer: The OCI-R is NOT a diagnostic test. A diagnosis can only be provided by a qualified healthcare professional. Please consult a physician or mental health professional if you are concerned about OCD.  References: Foa, E. B., Huppert, J.
