Fast-Track ADHD Assessment in Chennai - Dr Srinivas Rajkumar MD

Accurate. Objective. Fast.

ADHD is not a diagnosis that benefits from delay. When attention problems go unrecognised or are mislabelled, children struggle in school, adults underperform at work, and families live with unnecessary confusion and self-blame. What ADHD requires is not prolonged uncertainty, but timely, accurate, and objective evaluation.

Our Fast-Track ADHD Assessment in Chennai is designed to provide diagnostic clarity in a single sitting, combining expert clinical judgment with modern objective tools—at a cost that remains accessible.

Why ADHD Diagnosis Is Often Delayed Worldwide

Across countries such as the UK, Australia, Germany, France, and Singapore, ADHD assessments commonly involve:

long waiting lists (often 3–18 months),
multiple fragmented appointments,
heavy reliance on questionnaires alone,
and high costs ranging from ₹80,000 to ₹2,00,000.

Even in advanced healthcare systems, families frequently report uncertainty, repeated opinions, and delayed treatment decisions. The issue is not lack of expertise—it is lack of access and integration.

A Different Approach: Fast-Track ADHD Assessment in One Sitting

In Chennai, it is possible to complete a comprehensive ADHD evaluation in one structured session, without compromising clinical standards.

Our fast-track model integrates three essential components:

1. Psychiatrist-Led Clinical Interview (Accuracy)

The foundation of ADHD diagnosis remains a detailed clinical interview conducted by a psychiatrist. This includes:

early developmental history,
academic or occupational difficulties,
behavioural and emotional patterns,
functional impairment at home, school, or workplace,
screening for comorbid conditions such as anxiety, depression, learning disorders, or personality traits.

This step ensures ADHD is correctly identified, not over-diagnosed or mistaken for stress, burnout, or anxiety.

2. QEEG Brain Mapping (Objectivity)

Quantitative EEG (QEEG) provides objective information about brain activity patterns related to attention, arousal, and self-regulation.

While ADHD is never diagnosed by a scan alone, QEEG:

strengthens diagnostic confidence,
helps in borderline or atypical cases,
is especially useful in adults and high-functioning individuals,
supports personalised treatment planning.

Used responsibly, QEEG adds neurobiological context to clinical findings.

3. Computerised Continuous Performance Test – CPT (Measurement)

The CPT objectively assesses:

sustained attention,
impulsivity,
response variability,
consistency over time.

These parameters closely reflect real-world attentional functioning and help differentiate ADHD from look-alike conditions such as anxiety or mood disorders.

Completed in One Sitting: Fast Without Compromise

All three components—clinical interview, QEEG, and CPT—are completed in one sitting. Results are interpreted together and explained clearly, avoiding fragmented opinions or prolonged diagnostic uncertainty.

Cost:
Under USD 75 (approximately ₹8,000)

This same process typically costs ₹80,000–₹2,00,000 internationally and takes months to complete.

Who Is This Assessment Suitable For?

Children with academic or behavioural concerns
Adolescents with attention or executive function difficulties
Adults with lifelong distractibility, poor focus, or underachievement
High-functioning professionals with suspected ADHD
NRIs and international families seeking quick, credible evaluation

Why Accuracy, Objectivity, and Speed Matter in ADHD

Delayed or inaccurate diagnosis leads to:

academic failure and low self-esteem,
workplace underperformance,
unnecessary medication trials,
years of self-doubt and stigma.

In ADHD, early clarity improves outcomes. Access itself becomes therapeutic.

Fast does not mean rushed.
Objective does not mean mechanical.
Affordable does not mean inferior.

A Chennai Advantage in Mental Health Care

Chennai’s strength lies in the density of trained psychiatrists, integration of technology with clinical judgment, and realistic pricing that encourages early help-seeking. This makes it an increasingly preferred destination for ADHD assessment in India, especially for families living abroad.
