ADHD Assessments
Adult ADHD Assessments with Dr Abaidullah Siddiqi
MBBS, FRACGP
Adult ADHD assessments at Hampstead Health are conducted by Dr Abaidullah Siddiqi (General Practitioner), who has undertaken additional training in the assessment and management of adult ADHD through programs delivered by SA Health and the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners in February 2026.
Dr Siddiqi now offers structured adult ADHD assessments within the clinic, using an evidence-based approach aligned with current Australian guidelines. The process is thorough and patient-centred, focusing on understanding your individual experiences, exploring whether ADHD may be contributing to your symptoms, and discussing appropriate support and management options.
Assessment Approach
The assessment process is comprehensive and considers:
- Developmental history
- Current symptoms and functional impact
- Psychological and medical context
- Possible alternative explanations
Assessment Process
First Consultation (60 minutes)
A detailed clinical interview covering:
- Childhood and developmental background
- Attention, organisation, and executive functioning
- Impact on work, study, and relationships
- Screening for other contributing conditions
If ADHD appears unlikely at this stage, further assessment may not be required.
Between Consultations
Where appropriate, additional information may be requested, including:
- Structured questionnaires
- Collateral history (if relevant)
Second Consultation (60 minutes)
- Review of all gathered information
- Application of current diagnostic criteria
- Discussion of outcome (diagnosis may or may not be made)
If ADHD is confirmed, treatment options can be discussed, including:
- Medication
- Non-pharmacological strategies
Important Notes
- Not everyone assessed will meet criteria for ADHD
- Alternative explanations and tailored recommendations will be provided where relevant
