ADHD Clinic

ADHD Clinic

Avicenna Centre for Brain Health operates two unique ADHD clinics in British Columbia. One is the Adult ADHD Clinic which accommodates populations over the age of 18. Avicenna also runs a Child & Adolescent ADHD clinic targeted at youth age of 8 to 17 years.

Child & Adolescent ADHD Clinic

ADHD is a neuro-developmental disorder where children may maintain attention difficulties, hyperactivity and impulsivity. Their difficulties are generally evident in multiple settings such as at home and at school. The child’s difficulty also must be significant enough to interfere with their lives either academically or socially in order for them to obtain an ADHD diagnoses. Under most circumstances, we only see school-aged children and offer them a diagnosis after the age of six.

ADHD may manifest in various forms such as concentration and organization issues. Many of the behaviours commonly associated with ADHD can also be explained by other factors such as early life experiences, poor sleep and a range of other developmental conditions. Part of the assessment process involves evaluating how much of a role if any these other factors play. If learning disorders are present, it is recommended to seek further psychological testing.
