An ADHD assessment involves one initial consult, then a follow-up:

1. Initial Consult ($895): Your Partner Psychiatrist will take a detailed history and complete the ADHD assessment, which may include screening tests and tools. They will then discuss your results and management options. Where appropriate, this can include a formal diagnosis and starting medication.
2. Follow-up Consult ($495): Booked a few weeks later, the follow-up reviews how your treatment is going, including any test results and side effects, and whether anything needs to change.

Completing an assessment does not guarantee a diagnosis or a prescription. Further follow-ups are booked separately as needed.

The key difference between psychiatrists and psychologists is medical training. Both psychologists and psychiatrists are equally qualified to assess and diagnose ADHD. However, a psychiatrist is a medical doctor who has specialised training in mental health, and is able to prescribe medication.

If medication is a management option you would like to explore after your diagnosis, and if your psychiatrist deems suitable, they will be able to prescribe medication.

No, completing an ADHD assessment does not guarantee a diagnosis of ADHD. Your psychiatrist will take a detailed history, review your assessment and clinical presentation, and make a diagnosis where appropriate.
