Formal diagnosis of Adult ADHD requires a multidisciplinary approach. This includes your General Practitioner, Psychologist, Psychiatrist and, at times, other medical specialists. At Mindspace Psychology, our psychologists provide you with a written report and verbal explanation of the assessment results. This includes an indication if you meet the criteria for Adult ADHD diagnosis. Our reports can be reviewed by a Psychiatrist who may confirm diagnosis and prescribe medication where appropriate.
Our experience has been that most adults experience significant relief when receiving confirmation of meeting the criteria of Adult ADHD. It’s an experience that “everything makes sense” and they can move on from beating themselves up and instead focus on understanding how their brain works, understanding their “ADHD superpowers” and learning new ways to adjust, improve performance and success in their daily lives.
At Mindspace Psychology, we pride ourselves on providing comprehensive reports and feedback in simple language to help individuals understand what the results reveal about them. We use assessment tools with sound psychometric properties and our assessments are carried out by trained professionals. The emphasis of our reports is in the recommendations and strategies to provide practical, easy to adopt recommendations and strategies for you to commence using in order to make immediate improvements in the quality of your life and functioning.
