Types Of Psychological Assessments
ADHD Assessment
An ADHD assessment is recommended for adults experiencing difficulties with focus, impulse control, or managing hyperactivity. This process is designed to diagnose Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and distinguish it from other mental health or cognitive challenges.
The assessment typically involves interviews, attention-based testing, behavioral observations, and rating scales. It provides a clear diagnosis and identifies the specific type of ADHD—whether inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, or combined.
With a diagnosis, adults can access tailored strategies and interventions to manage their symptoms effectively, enhancing success in work, relationships, and daily life.
Diagnostic Assessment
A Diagnostic Assessment is a thorough evaluation designed to identify mental health conditions in adults. It’s recommended for those experiencing emotional or behavioral challenges, such as anxiety, depression, or difficulties navigating social situations, that affect their daily life.
​
The assessment process includes clinical interviews, rating scales, and observations to provide an accurate diagnosis and a deeper understanding of an individual’s psychological and emotional well-being. Once the diagnosis is established, a personalized treatment plan can be created, incorporating therapy, medication, or other interventions to address the specific condition and enhance overall quality of life.
