Understanding Adult ADHD
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a condition that affects a person’s ability to focus, control impulses, and manage hyperactive behaviour. While often associated with children, many adults also have ADHD, and it can significantly impact their daily lives. At Unbound Minds, we offer comprehensive assessments for adults who may have ADHD.
Why Get Assessed?
Getting assessed for ADHD as an adult can help you understand yourself better and manage your symptoms effectively. Knowing if you have ADHD can:
- Help you understand your strengths and areas where you might need support.
- Provide insights into past experiences and challenges.
- Open up access to resources and support networks.
- Help in the workplace by informing employers about the best ways to support you.
The Importance of Accurate Diagnosis
ADHD cannot and should not be diagnosed through a short-form questionnaire or screener alone. While these screeners can sometimes help determine whether it’s worth pursuing a clinical assessment, they are not sufficient for a definitive diagnosis. Clinical assessments, on the other hand, are detailed and comprehensive, taking into account your developmental history, current functioning, and specific challenges.
What to Expect During the Assessment
- Initial Consultation: Meet with a warm and empathetic psychologist to discuss your concerns and experiences. This session also serves as a go/no-go point, where we determine if an assessment is suitable for you.
- Comprehensive Evaluation: If we proceed, our skilled psychologists will conduct interviews and questionnaires to gather detailed information about your history and current functioning.
- Observation and Testing: Participate in activities that help us understand your attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity patterns in a supportive environment.
- Detailed Report: Receive an industry-leading, easy-to-read report explaining the diagnosis process and results.
- Ongoing Support: If diagnosed with ADHD, access resources and strategies to help you manage your symptoms and improve daily functioning.
