ADHD Assessment for Adults

ADHD

The Centre for Clinical Psychology offers comprehensive assessment for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

We are pleased to provide ADHD Assessments for adults.

Upon completion of an assessment, we can also provide you with psychological support and strategies to manage ADHD. We can also help you with therapy for self-esteem and adjustment, as well as building upon your strengths. We also provide mental health treatment for co-occurring mental health difficulties.

What is Involved?

Assessments are conducted over 3 sessions. The first two sessions are 90 minutes and focused upon assessment. In the third 60 minute session you will be provided with feedback and a written report with clinical recommendations.

Pre-Assessment Session:

You will be asked to complete:

  • Five reliable and valid self-report measures for assessing ADHD.
  • A mental health screening questionnaire.
  • One questionnaire for an informant (partner, parent) to complete.

Pre-Assessment Session: Assessment Sessions:

  • A full clinical and biopsychosocial assessment.
  • A full ADHD assessment with an established clinical interview.

Integration and Feedback:

  • Your psychologist will provide you with a full psychological report.
  • The report includes the diagnosis (or not) of ADHD and/or other mental health condition/s, as well as evidence-based treatment recommendations and strategies.
  • If we consider that you require further assessment for learning difficulties or you are considering medication due to an ADHD diagnosis, we will suggest referral.

Co-Occurring Mental Health Conditions and ADHD

People with ADHD can have higher rates of co-existing mental health problems (Kessler et. al. 2006). Mental health issues can make it harder to manage ADHD symptoms. Just as ADHD symptoms can affect mental health and wellbeing.

We can provide mental health support following assessment. It helps that we already know your story. We understand some of the challenges that can arise which are linked to questions of identity and we can help you to build self-confidence. We can also help you manage workplace issues or relationship concerns.

National Insurance Disability Scheme (NDIS)

Please note: ADHD is not accepted under the NDIS. Our reports are not for use with an application to the NDIS. However, other diagnoses from the assessment may be considered under NDIS and the full psychological report may be used as supporting evidence. Further information about the NDIS can be found at https://www.ndis.gov.au/

We do not provide assessments for children or adolescents under 18 years.
