Diagnostics
You suspect you have ADHD and you have your doctor’s referral in your pocket. At ADHDcentraal, we are happy to investigate with you whether you do indeed have ADHD. Should you be diagnosed with ADHD, the possibility of starting treatment immediately exists.
Unique at ADHDcentraal is diagnostics in one day. Through efficient planning and proper preparation, we are able to work with you to complete the diagnostics in one day.
For diagnostic day:
- We ask you and someone who knows you well to complete the CAARS (Connors ADHD Adult Rating Scale).
- We ask you to prepare for the interview with the psychologist by looking back at yourself at ages 6-12, elementary school days and your school records.
On diagnostics day:
- Comprehensive intake
- Diagnostic Interview for Adults with ADHD (DIVA). It is important that you bring someone with you who can provide information about childhood.
- QbTest (Objective, computerized examination)
- Psychiatric examination
- Joint discussion of the results
Diagnosis of ADHD
If you have been diagnosed with ADHD, then you can, if you wish, begin immediate treatment. Thus, there is no waiting time between diagnosis and treatment.
No ADHD
If you have not been diagnosed with ADHD, we will refer you back to your primary care physician. This referral consists of comprehensive and sound advice.
