ADHD diagnosis in adolescents 13+ online – psychiatric consultation
Who the ADHD diagnosis for teenagers is for
The ADHD diagnosis for adolescents 13+ online is intended for teenagers who experience difficulties with concentration, organization, impulsivity, hyperactivity or school functioning. Often these young people are told they are "lazy", "not trying" or "always disruptive", even though they are genuinely trying.
How the ADHD diagnostic process online looks
During the online visit I speak with both the teenager and the parent or guardian, gathering information about development, functioning at home and at school, and previous treatment. I use standardized questionnaires and diagnostic tools appropriate for the age, and the whole process is conducted in a calm, accepting atmosphere.
What happens after the ADHD diagnosis in adolescents
After the diagnosis I discuss whether the symptoms meet ADHD criteria or are better explained by other difficulties, such as anxiety disorders, depression or school overload. Parents and the teenager receive clear recommendations regarding pharmacological treatment (if indicated), psychotherapy, skills training and practical guidance on how to support the child at home and in cooperation with the school.
