Summary
Peter, a 35-year-old stockbroker, has been advised by his supervisor to come and see you, the company mental health consultant. His supervisor is complaining that he often comes to appointments late, is inappropriately fidgety, interrupts people during meetings, has been offensive towards coworkers, and has been known to party excessively on weeknights. Peter asserts that he is just fine; he has a lot of projects on his mind and is simply standing up for himself when speaking with others. He likes to go out in the evenings to unwind. Recognizing probable attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), you interview both the patient and his work buddy, who is a longtime friend. How would you start your questions?
