Private ADHD
Assessments

The ADHD summary letter is a comprehensive report that outlines the findings of your assessment. It includes: A detailed summary of your assessment: This includes information gathered from the interview, questionnaires, and any other relevant information. Diagnostic findings: A clear and concise summary of the diagnostic conclusions, if applicable. Recommendations: Personalised recommendations for further steps, such as treatment options, therapy, or referrals to other specialists. This letter provides you with valuable information to share with your doctor, therapist, or other healthcare professionals involved in your care.

Before your assessment, you will be asked to complete a series of questionnaires and self-assessments. These forms provide valuable information about your symptoms, their impact on your life, and your personal and family history. This information helps our clinicians gain a better understanding of your individual needs and tailor the assessment accordingly.

You will receive your personalised ADHD assessment summary letter after the completion of your assessment. This letter will provide a comprehensive overview of the assessment findings, including a diagnosis (if applicable) and recommendations for further steps, such as treatment options or referrals to other specialists.

During your online ADHD assessment with Mentalwell, you can expect a thorough and comprehensive evaluation of your symptoms. Our experienced clinicians will conduct a detailed interview, discuss your experiences with inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, and explore how these symptoms impact your daily life. During an assessment, a clinician will likely ask you a range of questions to understand your experiences comprehensively. Here are some examples: "Can you describe situations where you find it difficult to pay attention?" (e.g., during meetings, while reading, or when listening to others) "Do you find it difficult to sit still for extended periods?" "How do these challenges impact your work, relationships, and daily life?" "Did you have any learning difficulties in school?" The specific questions may vary depending on the clinician and your individual circumstances.

No, a referral is not required for a private ADHD assessment. However, we recommend informing your GP about your decision to pursue a private assessment for continuity of care.

At Mentalwell, the results of the assessment have no bearing on our operational processes. This intentional separation ensures that our evaluations are unbiased and focused solely on providing accurate and reliable assessments. This approach minimizes the risk of misdiagnosis, as our procedures remain consistent and unaffected by the individual outcomes of each assessment.

Mentalwell is an online platform exclusively dedicated to providing leading ADHD assessment services. As the sole focus of our practice, we aspire to be the foremost providers in ADHD assessments. Our comprehensive services encompass assessments, diagnosis, and personalized treatment plans specifically tailored for individuals dealing with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

At Mentalwell, our primary goal is to provide clarity and the most appropriate support for your well-being journey. If your comprehensive assessment indicates that you do not meet the diagnostic criteria for ADHD, you will still receive a detailed and transparent explanation of our findings from your expert psychiatrist. If you initially acquired a package that included both an assessment and a subsequent treatment plan, and the assessment results in a negative diagnosis for ADHD, the portion of your payment allocated for the treatment plan will be fully refunded to you.

Mentalwell stands out due to its commitment to accessibility, user-friendly platform, and a patient-centric approach. Our customer journey ensures a thorough yet accessible assessment, providing personalized care plans for individuals.
