What is an Accelerated Adult ADHD Assessment?

Why is our Accelerated Adult ADHD Assessment different?


- An Accelerated ADHD Assessment has a diagnosis delivery time of two weeks, as opposed to the usual turnaround of 2-8 weeks.

- Seeing a psychiatrist for your assessment ensures all aspects of your ADHD evaluation are addressed in one place, minimising delays and unnecessary appointments.

ADHD affects around 3–4% of adults in the UK, but fewer than 2% have a formal diagnosis, leaving many without access to support.

For adults seeking a faster ADHD diagnosis, we offer an online Accelerated Adult ADHD Assessment with our psychiatrists, including a comprehensive diagnostic report and personalised treatment recommendations – all completed within 2 weeks.

Our online assessment explores ADHD symptoms, medical and family history, mental health background, and how symptoms impact daily functioning.

What can an Accelerated ADHD Assessment do for me?

Getting assessed for ADHD isn’t just about identifying a condition, it’s about unlocking the tools and support you need to move forward with confidence.

Being diagnosed helps people understand themselves better, which includes gaining perspective on the reasons for some of their struggles.

Your psychiatrist will discuss your treatment options and create a personalised plan tailored to your needs, including regular reviews and therapy options. Where clinically appropriate, medication can be discussed and coordinated with your GP or prescribing provider.

Research indicates that adults with an ADHD diagnosis enjoy marked improvements in productivity, quality of life, improved functionality, and a boost in self-esteem.

  • 90-minute remote consultation with a consultant psychiatrist
  • Structured ADHD diagnosis using DIVA 2.0 (DSM-5)
  • Focused ADHD-only assessment – no screening for other psychological disorders
  • A psychiatric diagnostic report (complete within 2 weeks)
  • Direct access to medication, if clinically appropriate (included in fee)
  • Liaison with your GP and preferred pharmacy

📍 Please note: This assessment is solely for diagnosing ADHD in adults. If you require evaluation for other mental health conditions, a broader psychiatric or psychological assessment may be more appropriate.
📍 A follow-up consultation is scheduled 2 weeks after your assessment to review progress and discuss next steps in your treatment plans.
📍 Ongoing follow-ups are available to monitor your care and coordinate adjustments with your GP or treating clinician (case-dependent).
