What Is an ADHD Assessment?
An ADHD assessment is a structured process used to diagnose Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. It involves detailed clinical interviews. That involves questionnaires and a review of your history to determine whether ADHD is present. And if so, how is it affecting your daily life?
At Bella Vista Psychiatry. All assessments are led by experienced psychiatrists. They have specialised in diagnosing and treating ADHD in both children and adults.
Who Should Consider an ADHD Assessment?
You might benefit from an ADHD assessment if you or your child:
- Often struggle to stay focused or complete tasks
- Feel unusually restless, distracted, or impulsive
- Have difficulty managing time or staying organised
- Experience mood swings or frequent frustration
- Have been told by teachers, colleagues, or loved ones that “something feels off”
ADHD isn’t just a childhood condition—it can continue into adulthood, or be diagnosed later in life. We work with clients of all ages to provide clarity and support.
