ADHD can have a profound impact on daily life, affecting focus, organisation, and emotional regulation.

At My Health Assistant, we make it easier for you to find expert help with private ADHD assessment near me, so you can take the first step towards understanding and managing ADHD effectively.

 

What Is An ADHD Assessment?

A private ADHD assessment is a comprehensive evaluation conducted by a specialist, typically a psychologist or psychiatrist, to determine if you or your child meet the criteria for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The assessment explores various aspects of behaviour, attention span, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. It also considers how these symptoms affect your ability to function at school, work, or in social situations.

ADHD assessments usually involve several steps, including questionnaires, interviews, and potentially some diagnostic tests to rule out other conditions.

 

Why Is It Important to Test for ADHD?

  • Provides clarity and diagnosis, allowing for targeted treatment
  • Identifies coexisting conditions such as anxiety or depression
  • Helps to better understand personal or your child's needs
  • Opens up treatment options such as behavioural therapy, coaching, or medication
  • Supports better management of daily life challenges and improvements in wellbeing

 

Who Might Have an ADHD Assessment?

Individuals of all ages who might feel that their concentration, impulsivity, hyperactivity, or disorganisation is pulling them down can benefit from having an ADHD assessment. If at work you cannot focus on a task, in class, you are out of sync, or your impulse control is terrible, an ADHD test could help move you toward full moderation and control over life. Parents whose children exhibit symptoms of ADHD may also opt for a private assessment to access tailored support for their child.

What to Expect from the ADHD Testing Process

Most private ADHD assessments start with an extensive interview in which the specialist inquires about your, or your child's, behaviours, medical history, and daily challenges. Some questionnaires might also be given which help to provide more context to help pinpoint some specific ADHD behaviours.

For children, feedback from parents and teachers will be sought to get a complete understanding of how symptoms present in different settings. After obtaining this information, the specialist will interpret the results and review possible treatment with you.
