Who can diagnose ADHD in Newfoundland and Labrador?
Public or private?
NL offers ADHD assessments through MCP-covered family doctors and psychiatrists, with significant wait times, or private psychologists who can provide faster, comprehensive assessments.
A prescription is not an explanation
A 30-minute appointment can end with medication and a pamphlet. A full psychological assessment ends with something more useful: a written account of how your attention, memory, and processing actually work, and which of your struggles are ADHD rather than character.
That report is what you use afterwards — to ask for accommodations, to choose treatment, and to stop guessing about yourself.
