Start free self-assessment (2-min)Our ADHD assessment process in four steps
Without judgment, and without the long wait.
Medical history screener (5-7 minutes)
You will complete the following questionnaires at your own pace prior to your diagnosis consult:
A) The ASRS Part A (Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale Screener) is a clinically validated tool that helps screen for ADHD symptoms to determine the likelihood of an ADHD diagnosis. We refer to this part as the 2-min self-assessment.
B) The Service Eligibility questionnaire screens for medical conditions that are not appropriate for virtual care and are better served by in-person or specialty care.
Medical assessment forms (20 minutes)
These are used to better evaluate an individual’s mental health, medical history, and screen further for ADHD symptoms.
The forms are reviewed by your clinician in advance of your appointment to aid them in better understanding your concerns and to facilitate the discussion.
Forms to be completed prior to your appointment:
ASRS Part B (Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale Screener)
WFIRS (Weiss Functional Impairment Rating Scale)
PHQ-9 (Patient Health Questionnaire)
GAD-7 (General Anxiety Disorder)
Medical assessment form
ADHD assessment appointment (75 minutes*)
This step is over the phone with your Frida clinician.
On the call, you will discuss your medical and mental health history, experiences growing up, functioning in different areas of your life, family history, quality of life, and symptoms.
*If more time is needed, a second appointment (at no extra charge) will be scheduled.
Diagnosis results
At the end of your assessment, your Frida clinician will share the assessment results and your personalized treatment plan (if diagnosed).
You may also request a diagnosis letter.

Who is completing my diagnosis?

Your care team also consists of Frida clinicians, nurses, and pharmacists. You may interact with these healthcare professionals, or they may support your care in the background.
What happens if I'm diagnosed with ADHD?
Your clinician will provide you with a personalized treatment plan and talk to you about next steps. If you'd like to receive a letter of diagnosis, please request one from our team, and we will also get this ready for you after your diagnosis.
What is Frida’s diagnosis process based on?
Frida follows the Canadian ADHD Practice Guidelines.
Can you really diagnose me in 75 minutes?
We do not cut corners or skip any important aspects of a proper evaluation.
However, we also do not add unnecessary steps to the diagnosis process that make things more expensive.
And by asking you to complete your medical history prior to your appointment, we can spend more time preparing and use the assessment's time more efficiently — to really get to you know.
