ADHD diagnosis for adults

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is not just a childhood condition—it continues into adulthood, affecting work performance, relationships, and daily functioning. Identifying ADHD in adults is crucial for addressing long-standing challenges and improving overall quality of life. We offer comprehensive ADHD assessments specifically tailored for adults, combining evidence-based methods and personalized support.

What is ADHD in adults?
ADHD in adults can manifest differently than in children. While hyperactivity may decrease with age, difficulties with attention, organization, impulsivity, and time management often persist. Adults with ADHD may find it challenging to meet deadlines, maintain focus during tasks, or manage emotional regulation, which can affect both their personal and professional lives.

What does the ADHD diagnostic process involve?

01

In-depth interviews

Understanding the individual’s history, including childhood behaviors, current challenges, and life experiences.

02

Standardized questionnaires

Utilizing validated tools, such as the DIVA-5, to measure attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity.

03

Collateral information

Collecting insights from close family members or partners to corroborate symptom history.

04

Rule-out assessments

Evaluating for co-occurring conditions, such as anxiety or depression, which can overlap with ADHD symptoms.
