Psycho-education

Psycho-education is interpreted by ADHDcentraal in the broadest sense and actually starts the moment you register with us.
We encourage you to learn more about ADHD (and symptoms similar to ADHD) by referring you to useful information on the internet.

Here you will find links to the patient association and the ADHD Network:

For (English) scientific information we would like to refer you to  these documents.

Are your problems mainly related to studying? Some universities provide useful online studytips, for example Utrecht University :

If you find that the explanation about ADHD (and ADHD-like symptoms) and the mentioned tips support you sufficiently, the need to have a general practitioner assess whether or not you need a diagnosis or treatment might be slight. If that need does persist, we offer diagnostics, additional psycho-education and treatment.

After the diagnosis, we offer a multitude of possibilities, such as our psycho-education course and a series of eHealth modules.

The psycho-education we offer (in groups), is a basic course which gives you insight into ADHD from a psychological and medical point of view. The psycho-education consists of two online meetings of 45 minutes in which a psychologist and a nurse practitioner will provide you with information and there is space for interaction and questions from participants. The presentation used during the course, can be found in our eHealth environment ,together with additional information.

However, psycho-education is an ongoing and continual process. Aside from the general basic course, it is also a part of further individual treatment. Tailored specifically to you as an individual and the progress of your personal process.
