ADHD assessment in English

A full neuropsychiatric ADHD assessment in Sweden, conducted in English, with a written specialist report within 10 working days of your final appointment.

An ADHD assessment is a long, detailed conversation about your entire life – childhood, school, work, relationships, the things you've quietly worked around for years. Doing that in a second language is a real handicap. Nuance gets lost, and nuance is most of the diagnosis. If English is the language you think in, you should be assessed in it.

What the assessment includes

  • A clinical interview with one of our staff psychiatrists.
  • DIVA-5 – the structured diagnostic interview for adult ADHD, covering current symptoms and how they presented in childhood.
  • Validated rating scales completed by you, and where relevant by someone who knew you as a child.
  • An assessment of how symptoms affect everyday functioning, not just whether they exist.
  • Screening for the conditions that commonly sit alongside or mimic ADHD – anxiety, depression, exhaustion, autism.
  • A written specialist report (läkarutlåtande) within 10 working days.
  • One 45-minute coaching session, included at no extra cost.
29 000 kr, all inclusive, for adults 18 and over. For under-18s the assessment is 31 000 kr and is adapted for children and young people – guardians are involved, and where useful we gather information from the school. See all prices.

How it runs

  1. Free 30-minute call

    A specialist helps you work out whether a full assessment is the right next step. No cost, no obligation. If it isn't the right step, we'll tell you.

  2. Preparation

    You complete rating scales and a background questionnaire before the first appointment, so the clinical time is spent on the parts that need a conversation.

  3. Clinical interview

    The DIVA-5 interview and clinical assessment with your psychiatrist – normally digitally over secure video, or in person if you are near our premises in Gothenburg, Stockholm, Örebro or Västerås.

  4. Findings and report

    We go through the conclusion with you in English and you receive the written specialist report within 10 working days.

  5. What follows

    If ADHD is confirmed and you want treatment, medication and coaching are available as separate services. Nothing is bundled in automatically.

Things worth knowing

  • No referral needed. You don't need a remiss from a health centre, and you don't join a regional waiting list.
  • The report is written in Swedish. Swedish medical documentation has to be. We'll talk you through it in English. It is the version Swedish employers, universities and healthcare providers accept.
  • A diagnosis is not guaranteed. The point of an assessment is a reliable answer, and sometimes the answer is no, or is something else. The fee covers the assessment either way – that's what you're paying for.
  • Already have a diagnosis you doubt? We also carry out re-evaluations of an existing ADHD or autism diagnosis for 20 000 kr.
