PRIOR DIAGNOSIS OF ADHD
For most patients, the ADHD assessment typically requires at least two appointments. This allows the psychiatrist to gather detailed information, conduct necessary evaluations, and provide a thorough diagnosis. However, we recognise that some patients may have already undergone previous assessments.
Previous diagnosis was made by a psychiatrist or a paediatrician and if you can provide a confirmation letter and adequate information about the diagnosis, you may only need one assessment appointment and then follow up appointments for treatment. This streamlined process helps to avoid unnecessary repetition while still ensuring appropriate care.
For Patients diagnosed with ADHD by a psychologist, we assess each case individually. This is due to variations in diagnostic processes and the need to consider additional medical information . In many instances, even with a prior psychological assessment, two appointments with a psychiatrist may still be necessary. This allows us to assess your condition, consider any medical and psychiatric co-morbidities, and evaluate the suitability of various medication options if indicated
