For More Information

What is an adult ADHD assessment?
An adult ADHD assessment is a detailed evaluation that looks at whether you meet the diagnostic criteria for ADHD. It is designed to give you a clearer understanding of your neurodivergent profile, including how ADHD may affect your work, study, relationships and day-to-day life.
This assessment is suitable for adults who have long-standing difficulties with focus, organisation, time management, impulsivity, procrastination or emotional regulation. It can also be helpful for those who feel they have spent years struggling to meet their potential despite trying hard to cope.
Assessments are carried out by experienced neurodevelopmental clinicians with expertise in adult ADHD and wider mental health. The assessment process follows recognised diagnostic standards and considers your presentation carefully and thoroughly.
The in-person assessment is a structured process rather than a single appointment. It may include a developmental and life-history interview, self-report questionnaires, supporting information from someone who knows you well where available, and a review of any relevant background information.
The in-person adult ADHD assessment appointment lasts 90 minutes. This forms part of a wider assessment process that also includes pre-assessment review and the preparation of your diagnostic report.

The in-person adult ADHD assessment takes place at either our central London clinic 98 Crawford Street, Marylebone, London W1H 2HL, or at our clinic in Barnet Therapy Rooms

Yes. The assessment looks at your developmental history as well as your current experiences. This may include school, work, relationships, daily routines, organisation, driving, finances and other areas of everyday functioning.
No. Questionnaires may form part of the process, but they are only one element of a full clinical assessment. Your clinician will also carry out a detailed interview and consider your wider history, current presentation and any co-occurring difficulties before reaching any conclusions.
The assessment looks at areas such as attention, impulsivity, activity levels, organisation, emotional regulation, memory, motivation and daily functioning. It may also consider whether other factors, such as autism, anxiety, depression or trauma, could be relevant.
You will usually receive your detailed diagnostic report within 7 days of your appointment.
After the assessment, you will receive a comprehensive report explaining whether you meet the criteria for ADHD and, if so, the presentation identified. The report is designed to be clear and practical, helping you understand how ADHD may affect different areas of life.
Yes. If ADHD is diagnosed and medication is considered clinically appropriate, medication options can be discussed with a consultant psychiatrist. This includes considering benefits, possible side effects, monitoring and how treatment may fit alongside wider coping strategies and support.
No. Treatment is optional. If ADHD is diagnosed, your clinician may discuss medication and non-pharmacological approaches, but the next steps will depend on your needs and preferences.
Shared care may be possible once your medication is stable, but you should always check with your GP before starting treatment if shared care is important to you. There is no national policy on shared care, and decisions are made locally by individual GP practices and healthcare boards. More than half of our shared care agreements are accepted by NHS GPs, as our medication pathway is managed by consultant psychiatrists. Final approval, however, always rests with your GP.

Yes. The report can support conversations with employers, universities and other services about reasonable adjustments and practical support. It may help explain how ADHD affects focus, organisation, time management and everyday performance.

Yes. The report includes practical recommendations tailored to your needs. These may relate to work, study, daily life and wider support, so you have clearer guidance on possible next steps.
The assessment carefully considers whether other factors may also be relevant, such as autism, anxiety, depression or burnout. Where appropriate, further assessment may be recommended to help build a fuller picture.
Yes. Follow-up appointments can help you understand the outcome of the assessment, think through next steps, review strategies and, where relevant, review medication or wider treatment plans.
Yes. An in-person appointment can be helpful for adults who prefer face-to-face discussion or feel more comfortable being assessed in person.
Yes.
Yes. ADHD Health Clinic is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). This means the clinic is required to meet established standards for safety, quality of care and clinical governance in England.

“If you are thinking of seeking help for ADHD or have symptoms that present questions, then I highly recommend Dr Mashru. His manner instantly put me at ease and his questions were insightful. He has a beautifully serene but professional manner and talking to him was helpful in and of itself. Thank you for being such an approachable and lovely person.”
