It can be challenging to find an effective method for assessing and diagnosing ADHD. Most general practitioners are either untrained or unequipped to provide the in-depth evaluation required for patients with ADHD and its comorbid problems.
Time is also a factor because diagnosing someone with ADHD can take several hours of discussion, testing, and analysis. Appointments completed in a hurry increase the likelihood that you or your child may be misdiagnosed or that the clinician will neglect an important secondary diagnosis.
A general practitioner may miss co-existing diseases, such as developmental delays, autism spectrum disorder, and mood disorders with overlapping symptoms. Screening for these issues is standard among professionals who specialize in ADHD diagnosis. Treatment usually looks different for other conditions.
We are well-known for combining multiple evaluation methodologies to assess and diagnose ADHD. We address assessment, diagnosis, and counseling from a variety of viewpoints, including neurophysiological (EEG), behavioral (psychologist), and symptomatic (QBtests, surveys, psychometric tests, and other task-based assessments). Our evaluations are comprehensive and consistent with current best practices in ADHD screening and diagnosis.
Patients with ADHD, regardless of their age, are entitled to the finest possible care. That is why we offer unparalleled programs for adults and children. Our experts at ADD Institute know that individuals suffering from ADHD symptoms have already potentially experienced a great deal of trauma.
Our recognized and highly experienced team of doctors and specialists collaborate with you to make the assessment and testing procedure as comfortable as possible and expedite your recovery path.
Trial-and-error inefficiencies that increase healthcare costs and impair patient care are reduced thanks to our individualized approach. Using various scientifically-based methods, we can determine which strategies are most effective for each person. Individuals of all ages benefit from our program, which is unique in that it is run by a dedicated, well-respected team who can customize a treatment plan to meet your specific needs.
Unfortunately, there is currently no single laboratory test available to diagnose ADHD. At ADD Institute, we perform a detailed assessment which includes methods used in research conducted by Basanaova et al. in 2018. Because each individual and body is unique, our series of tests assist in avoiding ineffective therapy. Our assessment may integrate different forms of analysis, which could involve a combination of the following:

Get in touchPsychometric Assessment
Modern examinations usually involve a psychometric test, sometimes known as an aptitude test. Psychometric assessments come in various forms, and the term refers to any measurement that elicits information about an individual’s cognitive ability or personality.
Go/no-go task
One of the most common types of attention tasks is when participants are required to keep their attention focused on a constant stream of stimuli. Participants complete a “go/no-go” activity known as a Sustained Attention to Response Task (SART).
Delayed Gratification task
Self-regulation of affect-motivation-arousal (delayed gratification) is one of four executive neuropsychological functions affected by the presentation of ADHD.
Real-Time EEG and EMG (Electromyography)
Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic procedure used to evaluate the health of muscles and the nerve cells that control them.
Our experts will also incorporate a clinical analysis into the evaluation of a diagnosis. We will look at family history, medical history, social history, education, and strengths and weaknesses. ADHD manifests differently in each individual; therefore, we use a diverse set of diagnostic criteria to assist our medical professionals in making a diagnosis. Being completely transparent with the specialist performing your evaluation is critical to obtaining the most accurate results.
Your medical and psychosocial teams will then be able to direct you towards appropriate treatments. The objective of diagnosis and treatment is to help you achieve a sense of well-being, self-confidence, and successful personal accomplishments without interference from ADHD.
