Why have an assessment?
In the free consultation we look at what you are presenting with in terms of traits and also what you want to get out of the assessment. Some people find that it would:
- Help them understand their struggle over the years
- Want to go on medication
- Want to know if their problem is more ADHD rather then anxiety
You do not necessarily need an ADHD assessment to get help. There are some practitioners that work with people who have traits of ADHD. It is also important to know that if you do go for an assessment for ADHD you are not meet the diagnostic criteria for it.
