What is an ADHD Assessment?
ADHD assessment is a comprehensive psychological and behavioral evaluation to assess and determine if you meet the criteria for ADHD and require medication. During the assessment process, you will speak to the psychiatrist about your concerns, and be asked to complete some tests which will help the psychiatrist assess your diagnosis and plan your medications.
What is the purpose of the Assessment?
If you have been struggling with paying attention, staying focused on the task at hand, managing your time, controlling your impulses, acting without thinking, unable to sit still for long periods etc. for a while or if you have been consistently told by work that you exhibit any of the above then assessment helps to clarify if you meet the diagnostic criteria for ADHD and your exact diagnosis, and medications required.
