Frequently Asked Questions
Will I definitely receive an ADHD diagnosis?
No. A diagnosis is only made if strict clinical criteria are met. The purpose of this assessment is a careful, evidence-based evaluation. In some cases, difficulties may be better explained by anxiety, low mood, stress, trauma, or lifestyle factors. You will always receive a clear explanation and guidance on next steps.
What if I don't have ADHD?
You may still benefit. You'll receive a clear clinical explanation of your symptoms, consideration of alternative causes, and practical recommendations to support you moving forward. Many people find this clarity just as valuable as a diagnosis.
Can I get medication after this assessment?
This is an assessment-only service. If medication is appropriate, you will be given clear options: referral to NHS services via your GP, or private prescribing through regulated ADHD specialists. We provide a GP-ready report to support these discussions.
What does the assessment involve?
A structured clinical process including a screening questionnaire, detailed developmental history, DIVA-5 structured diagnostic interview, and assessment against DSM-5 criteria. It is carried out virtually via Microsoft Teams and typically takes around 90 minutes.
Do I need evidence from childhood?
A diagnosis of ADHD requires evidence that symptoms were present in childhood. This does not always require formal documents — it may include your own recollection, input from a parent or family member, or school reports if available. This will be explored with you during the assessment.
Why choose a GP-led assessment?
A GP-led assessment offers a broad medical perspective, consideration of physical and mental health factors, a structured clinically grounded approach, and reports designed to support GP and specialist decision-making — ensuring your full picture is understood.
