Scope

What the assessment includes.

ADHD is multi-layered and overlaps with other conditions. We therefore work in a structured way and deliberately take the time for a sound assessment.

  • Detailed anamnesis

    Biographical exploration of your current life and your childhood.

  • Standardised test procedures

    Validated questionnaires and tests (incl. WURS-K, ADHS-DC, ADHS-SB, WRI).

  • Clinical interview

    A structured conversation according to psychotherapeutic standards.

  • Differential diagnostics

    Careful exclusion of other causes to confirm the diagnosis.

  • Written report

    A detailed findings report with concrete recommendations.

Process

In three steps.

  1. STEP 01

    Preparation

    Beforehand you receive digital questionnaires. Please complete them promptly and upload relevant documents — they form the basis of the conversation.

  2. STEP 02

    Diagnostic sessions

    Usually around 3–5 sessions of 50 minutes: biography, symptom analysis and differential diagnostics — tailored to the individual effort.

  3. STEP 03

    Evaluation & report

    We discuss the results, confirm the diagnosis and go through the therapeutic and medical treatment options with you.

Preparation

Please bring along.

  • School reports — especially the primary-school reports (years 1–4).
  • External assessments — reports from people close to you (parents, partner, close friends or colleagues) on your behaviour in childhood and the present.
  • Previous findings — if available, older clinical findings or doctor’s letters.

After the diagnosis

How it continues.

Psychoeducation

Understand the basics and particulars of ADHD — and make better sense of everyday life.

Medication

In adulthood, methylphenidate, atomoxetine and lisdexamfetamine are approved, among others — co-occurring conditions such as depression or sleep problems can be treated as well.

Psychotherapy

Behavioural-therapy support — individually or in a group — to process the diagnosis and build new everyday strategies.

Costs

Private billing under the GOÄ.

ADHD diagnostics is a self-pay / private medical service billed by analogy to the German scale of fees for physicians/psychotherapists (GOÄ/GOP). Please clarify possible reimbursement with your insurer in advance.
