ADHD-assessment
The assessment follows the Norwegian Directorate of Health’s national professional guidelines and is carried out in its entirety by an experienced psychiatrist. Several of the sessions can be conducted as double sessions. Assessment is also offered via video consultation.
The assessment consists of a thorough clinical evaluation, structured interviews as well as tests and questionnaires, and will typically amount to approximately 10–12 hours. The time required may vary depending on the scope of the assessment. After the assessment, the patient will be offered follow-up tailored to individual needs. An assessment does not automatically result in an ADHD diagnosis.
About ADHD
ADHD is characterized by impulsivity, hyperactivity and attention difficulties that affect functioning across all areas of life. Many individuals with ADHD perform well, but often use significantly more energy to achieve similar results as those without ADHD. Strong performance can result in resourceful individuals not being considered for assessment, as compensatory strategies often mask the symptoms.
Common symptoms:
- Difficulty completing tasks
- Challenges with planning and organization
- Easily distracted
- Tendency to interrupt others
- Time optimism and difficulties with time management
- Talks more than the situation requires
- Mood swings and irritability
ADHD may also involve inner restlessness and agitation. If untreated, the condition may contribute to anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties and reduced self-esteem. Many people experience a need for lists, reminders and organizational tools to manage everyday life.
