What: The ADHD Assessment is an assessment for diagnosing ADHD for adults. Why: This assessment can be used to provide a diagnosis of ADHD in adults and/or provide a basis for a referral to a psychiatrist for a further assessment and treatment. How: The ADHD assessment is conducted in a 2 hour face to face (or online) clinical interview with one of our experienced Psychologists. During the assessment session the psychologist will obtain a history of the client so it is useful to bring in any previous relevant psychiatric/medical reports and school reports to this session.

Additionally, some collateral information will be required to be completed by somebody who knows you well. A written letter will be provided to your GP with the diagnosis and outcomes of the assessment.
