If ADHD is diagnosed
The report explains the evidence, findings and recommendations. A discussion can help you understand what the outcome means in everyday life and what questions to take to other professionals.
If the criteria are not met
The assessment should explain the findings and consider other possible explanations. Not receiving an ADHD diagnosis does not mean your experiences or support needs do not matter.
If more information is needed
A clinician may defer the outcome to gather evidence or seek a further review. The reason and next steps should be explained. There is no fixed promise of an immediate diagnostic decision.
Your report and recommendations
A report explains the evidence considered, findings, limitations and recommendations. Discuss any questions about the findings with the assessing clinician.
Sharing and practical adjustments
You may wish to discuss recommendations with your GP, education setting or workplace. The appropriate authority and privacy arrangements must be established before BrightMind shares a report.
Recommendations may inform a discussion about adjustments. Decisions by a school, employer or another service are their own; acceptance or access is not guaranteed.
