Medication Pathway: While I am able to diagnose ADHD, I do not prescribe medication. For clients who wish to explore medication, I work with a psychiatry service that accepts the assessment reports we provide without requiring a repeat assessment. The additional out-of-pocket cost for psychiatric review and prescribing is typically $455 to $600, bringing the total cost to approximately $1,300 to $1,450. This means you get 3.5 hours of contact with health professionals across the whole assessment and medication process, as well as a comprehensive 25-plus page report. Cheaper options do exist, but they’re often just a single one-hour psychiatry appointment. A more thorough, team-based assessment helps reduce the risk of misdiagnosis, improves safety by properly considering other possible conditions and medical factors, and gives a clearer picture of symptoms, day-to-day impact, and the best treatment approach.
