adhd Diagnosis & Assessment
If you reside in Adelaide and surround areas, and you suspect either yourself or a loved one may have Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), you’ve come to the right place.
ADHD in adulthood is often overlooked and undiagnosed in Australian adults. Living with the symptoms of adult ADHD can be a challenging, and overwhelming experience.
We also understand that ADHD is associated with multiple physical and mental health conditions.
At Fluence Clinic, our experienced online Psychiatrists provide comprehensive online ADHD assessments for anyone aged 16 and over who may be showing signs of ADHD.
All of our Psychiatrists are experienced and trained to recognise its manifestations and the life span of its relationship to other psychiatric disorders.

This form usually takes around 45 minutes to complete and includes all the necessary psychometric scales required to inform your assessment with the Psychiatrist.

At the end of this assessment, your Psychiatrist will provide you with verbal feedback about the diagnosis and recommendation plan.
Step 6: Post Assessment

If you have attracted a diagnosis of ADHD, your Psychiatrist will also provide a delegation letter that enables your GP to apply for a permit to prescribe stimulants within 14 days of your initial assessment.
Benefits Of ADHD Testing
ADHD is one of the more treatable psychological concerns. Early detection and diagnosis can be highly beneficial for an adult who has undiagnosed ADHD.
An adult ADHD assessment can provide many benefits, including:
- Receive an accurate diagnosis of ADHD;
- You’ll gain a better understanding of ADHD symptoms and severity;
- Identification of your personal strengths and weaknesses;
- Customised treatment plans;
- Access to resources and the right support;
- Improved quality of life.
The most important benefit of an assessment for ADHD is to gain a greater understanding of one’s self.
Following diagnosis, many people learn that certain problems that they have always experienced can actually be managed and/or treated.
