What is ADHD?
Adult ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects adults and is characterized by symptoms like inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Although ADHD is often diagnosed in childhood, many people are not diagnosed until adulthood, as the symptoms can be more subtle or adapt in different ways as a person grows older.

What Is The Process Of an ADHD Assessment?
First you will meet with our Psychotherapist to discuss your past and current symptoms and gather pertinent information. Secondly, complete email questionnaires to screen for ADHD and other potential mental health conditions. Then our Nurse will review your health history and assessment results comprehensively. Our diagnostic process is aligned with the guidelines set by the Canadian ADHD Resource Alliance (CADDRA).

What Is The Outcome Of an ADHD Assessment?
Regardless of whether ADHD is diagnosed, the therapist may provide strategies for managing symptoms like poor organization, time management issues, and emotional regulation. This could include mindfulness practices, organizational skills training, and lifestyle modifications like improving sleep hygiene or reducing stress. Ultimately, the outcome helps clarify the root causes of the individual’s difficulties and sets the foundation for an effective plan to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
