Comprehensive Adult ADHD Assessments and Diagnosis in Ireland

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a condition that affects both children and adults. While often associated with childhood, ADHD persists into adulthood for many individuals. Individuals can enjoy a fulfilling life without their symptoms impacting their day-to-day life, provided they get the right treatment. 

Adult ADHD manifests through core symptoms like inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. However, these symptoms often present differently in adults compared to children.

Living with undiagnosed ADHD can significantly impact:

• Mental Health - Strong link to anxiety, depression, and other conditions.
• Daily Life - Procrastination, forgetfulness, and difficulty managing tasks.
• Relationships - Emotional struggles, impulsivity, and time management issues.
• Work/Education - Challenges with focus, organisation, and task completion.

At Diverse Diagnostics, we understand the importance of a timely and accurate ADHD diagnosis. Our streamlined assessment process, led by experienced Consultant Psychiatrists, mirrors the HSE approach while offering additional benefits:

1. QB Check (€350): The first appointment is a QB Test, which is a computer-based objective measure of ADHD traits and symptoms.
2. Appointment 2 (€995):  
   • Initial Consultation: Meet with an experienced adult consultant psychiatrist who will discuss your concerns, gather information, and establish a rapport. A mental health screening will also be conducted to ensure a comprehensive evaluation.
   • Detailed Developmental History: Our psychiatrist will delve into your developmental journey, gaining a holistic perspective that informs the overall assessment.
   • Formal ADHD Screening: You will complete standardised ADHD screening questionnaires. 
   • Clear Diagnostic Feedback and Diagnosis: Receive a comprehensive report outlining the assessment findings and diagnosis. A follow-up session with your psychiatrist allows for in-depth discussion of the results, addressing any questions or concerns you may have. We will then develop a tailored treatment plan specifically designed to meet your unique needs.

• Medical Report: A detailed medical report outlining the diagnosis and treatment recommendations will be sent to both you and your GP. This ensures continuity of care.
• Treatment, Therapy and Coaching: We'll work closely with you to develop a personalised treatment plan that may include therapy, coaching, and medication management.
• Medication: If medication is deemed appropriate, we can facilitate a referral to a consultant psychiatrist for medication initiation and management.
• Regular Follow-up: We believe in ongoing support. We offer regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
