Frequently Asked Questions

We understand the struggles associated with getting an ADHD diagnosis, especially navigating the long waiting lists. That's why we offer accessible and efficient private ADHD assessments to help you gain clarity and access the support you need.

Here are answers to some of our most frequently asked questions:

What is an ADHD summary letter?

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.
What will I be asked before my assessment?

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.
Will I get the result during the assessment or after?

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.
What to expect during my assessment?

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.
Can I book an appointment according to my schedule?
