Adult ADHD diagnosis in Munich (S3 guideline)
Guideline-based adult ADHD assessment to the German S3 standard. Adult symptoms are often subtler and overlap with other conditions — we take the time to work through it carefully. Total duration about 3.5 hours, on request in a single day, in central Munich, Nußbaumstraße 14 (Maxvorstadt / Sendlinger Tor).
Overview
Multi-stage specialist assessment of adult ADHD. Because adult ADHD symptoms often overlap with anxiety, depression, trauma or burnout, careful differential work is essential.

- Restlessness, sensitivity to stimuli, emotional dysregulation
- Recurring difficulties in school, work or relationships
- Suspected adult ADHD, including with comorbidity
- Patients from Maxvorstadt, Ludwigsvorstadt, Altstadt, Schwabing and the wider Munich area

FAQ

- Yes, if available. School reports, appraisals and older medical documents help us reconstruct symptoms back into childhood.
- Will I automatically be prescribed medication?
- No. Diagnosis and treatment are separate steps. Medication is started only after informed consent and a shared decision.
