What is a ADHD Assessment?

An ADHD assessment helps determine whether the symptoms of attention difficulties, impulsivity, or emotional regulation challenges align with a diagnosis of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

At Carbon Psychology, our clinicians use a combination of clinical interviews, standardized questionnaires, behavioural checklists, and cognitive testing to evaluate how ADHD may be affecting your focus, organization, mood, and relationships.

We also screen for related conditions such as anxiety, depression, learning difficulties, and executive functioning issues, ensuring you receive a full picture of your mental health.

Signs you or your child might benefit from an Assessment

You might consider an ADHD assessment if you or your child are experiencing:

  • Ongoing struggles with focus or attention

  • Difficulty following through on tasks or deadlines

  • Frequent forgetfulness or disorganization

  • Impulsive decisions or trouble sitting still

  • Emotional sensitivity or frustration

  • Academic or work performance challenges

  • Relationship strain due to inattention or miscommunication

  • Feeling “lazy” or “behind” despite genuine effort

ADHD often goes undiagnosed, especially in adults or women — but with the right assessment, you can finally get clarity and direction.
