ADHD for adults
ADHD can persist into adulthood and affect focus, relationships, and self-confidence. A thorough assessment helps you see patterns, find strategies that work, and access the right treatment.
What does ADHD mean in adult life?
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how the brain regulates attention, motivation, and impulses. In adults it often shows up as inner restlessness, energy spikes followed by fatigue, or difficulty juggling several tracks at once.
During the assessment we focus on how symptoms impact your work, relationships, and self-image. We also separate ADHD from other conditions that can look similar.
“A correct diagnosis should be meaningful for you and help with the difficulties you face. It gives you language and a way to build on your strengths.”
During the assessment we review:
- Executive functions — your ability to plan and prioritize.
- Emotion regulation, impulsivity, and stress levels over time.
- Developmental history, masking strategies, and current supports.
- Medical background and co-occurring conditions that shape the picture.
We use tools like DIVA-5, validated forms, and welcome input from a partner or relative if you prefer.
A process that brings clarity and the right support
Our adult ADHD assessment is designed to identify ADHD or related conditions in people 18 or older. Many seek help after long-standing difficulties with attention, organization, restlessness, or impulsivity affecting work, studies, and relationships. The goal is clarity and the right treatment — for many it is a relief to understand the roots of their challenges.
Screening call
We start with a 30-minute screening call. You share your concerns and why you want an assessment. We review your current difficulties and what you hope to gain. The call decides if a full neuropsychiatric assessment is needed. If yes, we plan next steps right away — if no, we offer advice and referrals.
In-depth interviews and forms
A licensed psychologist gathers a detailed history from childhood to now — upbringing, school, work, relationships, and daily functioning — with focus on social interaction, attention, and hyperactivity. When possible we also interview someone who knew you in childhood. You complete standardized self-ratings that map ADHD traits and related symptoms.
Psychological testing and medical review
You complete psychological tests of cognitive and social functions. In parallel, a specialist doctor or psychiatrist performs a medical and psychiatric review to rule out other causes and identify co-occurring conditions such as autism, depression, or anxiety.
Multidisciplinary case review
Psychologist and psychiatrist review all information together and assess whether ADHD criteria are met and if other diagnoses are present. The aim is an accurate, evidence-based diagnosis.
Feedback and follow-up
We book a feedback session to go through results and conclusions verbally, and you receive a written report. You get tailored recommendations such as adjustments at home or work, psychoeducation, treatment, or referrals. Even without a diagnosis you receive clear feedback and guidance on next steps.
Ongoing support after diagnosis
The assessment is the starting point. We are happy to keep working with you through coaching or therapy sessions.
You choose how much support you need. Some want regular coaching; others prefer just a couple of follow-ups per year.
Medical follow-up
Titration, medication follow-up, and coordination with your GP for shared care.
Therapy & coaching
CBT, ADHD coaching, and tools for stress and relationships.
Structure support
Plans for accommodations and which tools you can access.
Frequently asked questions
Can’t find the answer? Reach out and we’ll guide you.
Can I get an assessment via the public healthcare system?
Yes, many regions offer neuropsychiatric assessments via referral. We help you understand rights around self-referral and how our report can be used when speaking with public services.
What if I was never assessed as a child?
It’s common to discover ADHD in adulthood. We map childhood symptoms through interviews, records, and stories from people you choose to involve.
Is medication the only treatment?
No. We work with several tools: medication and/or coaching and therapy when appropriate.
What happens after I receive my report?
We offer follow-ups for medication, coaching, or therapy and can help with letters and coordination with your GP.
