ADHD Assessment

Get help with an ADHD assessment

Many people experience difficulties with concentration and memory, lack of motivation, reduced impulse control, and procrastination. Others might express themselves impulsively, forget important meetings, or struggle to manage bills and paperwork. If you have experienced these symptoms over a prolonged period, you might have ADHD.

ADHD symptoms significantly impact daily life. Studying can often be challenging. Maintaining a consistent work pace can be difficult. Impulsive decisions and struggles with daily structure may cause strained relationships. Managing daily responsibilities easily becomes stressful if you have difficulty staying organized or procrastinate frequently. Consequently, many seek help when their daily life becomes increasingly difficult.

Others have children undergoing ADHD assessments and recognize the described symptoms in themselves. Coping with life while having untreated ADHD often feels overwhelming. However, with appropriate interventions like CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and ADHD medication, everyday life usually becomes easier. Moreover, having stable healthcare support increases your ability to handle setbacks.

ADHD assessment without waiting times

Unfortunately, obtaining an ADHD assessment through the public healthcare system often involves long waiting times. Some people report feeling misunderstood or dismissed by healthcare providers. At Orange, we always take your concerns seriously. We understand that good healthcare requires empathy and flexibility. Your ADHD assessment with us begins with minimal waiting times.

Moreover, the assessment is completed quickly, typically within three weeks. Since we work digitally, you won’t need to visit a clinic. All you need is a computer or a similar device for video calls, an internet connection, and a quiet environment. Currently, we only provide services to adults.

ADHD assessment on your terms

We offer digital ADHD assessments following current guidelines. To ensure a safe process, we operate as a team comprising psychologists and doctors, aligned with the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare’s recommendations (Socialstyrelsen). Through an ADHD assessment, we map out your specific challenges and identify the best ways to assist you. During the assessment, you will complete questionnaires, participate in interviews, and involve a family member or close contact who can provide additional perspective on your symptoms. Psychological tests or physical examinations will be conducted if necessary. Throughout the assessment, we also consider other possible diagnoses, such as anxiety and depression. This approach helps us achieve a nuanced understanding of your functioning.

After an ADHD assessment

For individuals who already have an ADHD diagnosis or receive one through our assessment, we can offer treatment. If you prefer a referral to another healthcare provider, we can arrange this. We offer both ADHD medication and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Both interventions have demonstrated effectiveness in scientific studies and are therefore recommended by Socialstyrelsen. ADHD medication can only be prescribed after you undergo a medical evaluation. In CBT, we map out your functioning to achieve long-term behavioral changes. The common goal across all our interventions is to help you accomplish what you want and need to achieve. With the right tools, reaching your goals becomes significantly easier.

Private ADHD assessment

Undergoing a private ADHD assessment can be an effective option for those seeking faster care without long waiting times. At Orange Psykiatri, you receive a professional and thorough assessment conducted by licensed psychologists and doctors in accordance with Socialstyrelsen’s guidelines. Because we work digitally, the assessment can be tailored to your needs and conducted in a setting where you feel comfortable. We ensure a fair evaluation and provide guidance on interventions that could benefit you.

ADHD assessment for adults

ADHD in adults can manifest in numerous ways, influencing everything from professional life and education to relationships and daily routines. Many who seek an ADHD assessment in adulthood have long coped with difficulties without understanding their origins. An assessment can clarify why specific challenges arise and identify strategies to make life easier. At Orange Psykiatri, we provide meticulous assessments specifically designed for adults. We carefully consider co-occurring conditions, life history, and individual needs to deliver the most comprehensive evaluation possible.
