What is ADHD?

ADHD stands for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and involves difficulties with concentration, restlessness, and/or impulsivity. It is a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting the regulation of attention, impulsivity, and/or activity levels. ADHD is well-documented to have a genetic component. Twin and family studies have shown that there is an increased likelihood of developing ADHD if there is a family history of the condition.

Impact on Daily Life

People with ADHD may experience challenges with planning, initiating tasks, prioritizing, remembering things, and managing daily activities—making everyday life more demanding. These difficulties can affect many areas of life, such as academic performance, work and career, maintaining healthy social relationships and marriages, managing finances, driving, and taking care of health and lifestyle. For this reason, receiving an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment can be helpful in managing symptoms and improving functioning in these areas.

It’s important to note that not everyone with ADHD experiences all of these symptoms, and the severity and way they manifest can vary greatly from person to person.

Assessment at Our ADHD Clinic

At our clinic, ADHD is diagnosed through a thorough clinical evaluation interview combined with standardized tests and a digital assessment such as the MOXO d-CPT. This test is performed both before and during medication use to adjust and verify the effectiveness of treatment.
If you choose to proceed with medication-based treatment, we require an ECG and blood test results no older than three months.
Once a diagnosis is confirmed, we create a personalized treatment plan for you. This plan is followed up by your general practitioner. We also offer psychoeducational treatment without medication, if that is your preferred option.
