ADHD Assessment for Adults in Toronto
Adult ADHD is characterized by a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactive/impulsive behaviors that can significantly impact daily activities, social interactions, academic achievements, and occupational functioning.
Consider an Adult ADHD assessment if you:
- Experienced symptoms of inattention and/or hyperactivity/impulsivity before age 12.
- Notice these symptoms affecting various aspects of your life (e.g., at home, work, with friends, and relatives).
- Find that these symptoms interfere with or diminish the quality of your social, work, or home activities.
- Have ruled out other mental health conditions (e.g., mood or anxiety disorders, personality disorders, psychotic disorders, or addiction) as the primary cause of these symptoms.

Improved Quality of Life
Adults with a formal ADHD diagnosis report better work productivity, self-esteem, and functional performance compared to those without a diagnosis.
Self Understanding
A diagnosis helps individuals understand their struggles, leading to improved self-perception and positive changes.
Effective Treatment
Treatments include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to manage executive functioning issues and medication when necessary. Combined treatment often leads to better symptom management.
