Assessment for ADHD
Diagnosis
What is it?
This is a comprehensive process and can be done by a Registered Psychologist. We look into what’s happening for you and see if ADHD is the most likely cause. We look into many different factors including your background, schooling, functioning and any other possible explanations for how you might be feeling (differential). This can occasionally be complex and doesn’t always match with ADHD, which is why we have the process we have below so you don’t follow a thread where there is no evidence.
Assessment Process- ADHD
-
An initial chat that goes for an hour to help get a little bit of a background on what’s brought you in for assessment
-
These are some brief assessment screeners to examine your presenting symptoms and suggest if it’s worth continuing your assessment or if it is more likely that something else may better explain your symptoms
-
You will receive your brief report with your recommendations about how to proceed via email. If you choose to proceed, continue on. If not your journey can pivot into sessions, or alternative assessment you can discuss with your AHPRA Registered Psychologist.
-
If you continue with you assessment, you’ll book in for a 2 hour interview to explore history, and symptoms more in depth, often pairing these with additional assessments
-
Extra assessment will be sent to you via email, in addition to requesting that a family member or someone who has known you well for 12+ months be able to have a short interview or answer some assessments too
-
It takes a little time to synthesise all of that information and interviews and assessments! It’ll take a couple of weeks to get your ADHD report back
-
If you would like, feel free to book in a consult to walk through your assessment to explain the finer details and recommendations
