Adult psychiatry
Adult ADHD assessment.
A structured assessment that considers symptoms, functioning, developmental history and relevant alternative explanations.
01 Before the appointment
Adult ADHD assessments are conducted virtually or in person. After booking, assessment forms and questionnaires will be sent for completion. Submitted information is reviewed before the consultation.
02 During the appointment
We discuss your concerns and clarify the information provided. A structured diagnostic interview assesses ADHD criteria and considers conditions that can cause similar difficulties, including mood, anxiety and substance-use disorders.
03 Developmental history
ADHD begins in childhood, so evidence of symptoms before age 12 is important. School reports and collateral information are helpful when available, although school reports are not an absolute requirement.
04 Feedback and follow-up
You will receive feedback about whether the diagnostic criteria are met. If ADHD is confirmed, we discuss treatment options and develop a personalised plan. Follow-up supports medication selection, dose optimisation and monitoring where relevant.
The listed fee is R4,500. Accounts are submitted to medical aid, but patients remain responsible for any outstanding balance. Please confirm current fees when booking.
