ADHD & ADD Clinic Copenhagen

All new clients start with a clinical interview (2 hours, 3,200 DKK) that includes a comprehensive psychopathological screening, because concentration difficulties can stem from many things beyond ADHD. This is followed by a diagnostic assessment with DIVA-5 (2 hours, 3,500 DKK), a semi-structured diagnostic interview. Finally, you receive feedback with a written report and treatment plan (1 hour report + 1 hour feedback, 3,000 DKK). Our psychiatrist can typically start medication within 1 to 4 weeks of the diagnosis, and we book the appointment for you.

An ADHD assessment costs 9,700 DKK: clinical interview (3,200 DKK), DIVA-5 assessment (3,500 DKK) and feedback with report (3,000 DKK). With the first psychiatrist consultation (2,700 DKK) and 2 medication adjustments (1,200 DKK each), a typical course with medication is around 14,800 DKK; some people need more medication adjustments. You pay per session and are not locked into a package.

No, you can book directly. If you already have a GP referral and are a member of Sygeforsikring Danmark (groups 1, 2, 5, or S) and 25 or younger, you may be eligible for a partial refund on assessment.

Yes. The psychiatrist is part of your complete pathway with us, and you don't need a separate referral. We have two psychiatrists and two senior psychiatry residents: Rasmus Wæhrens (specialist in psychiatry, PhD) and Robert Bering (specialist in psychiatry), together with doctors Rafl Adnan and Markus Hjorth. They handle medical evaluation, ADHD medication initiation, and ongoing dose optimization. Alethia ApS, which runs the clinic, is listed in the authorisation register (Autorisationsregistret) as a treatment site, with Rasmus Wæhrens as its medically responsible physician.

All new clients start with the clinical interview. This is because external diagnoses vary in quality, and up to 80% of adults with ADHD have at least one other mental health disorder (such as anxiety, depression, or substance use) that changes the treatment plan. The interview ensures we see the full picture so the psychiatrist can create the best possible plan for you.

For the DIVA-5 interview (step 2), we recommend bringing someone who knew you as a child, such as a parent, sibling, or other close person. It helps us evaluate childhood symptoms, which are an important part of ADHD diagnostics. If that's not possible, we find alternative ways to gather the information.

Yes, we offer full assessment and treatment in English, Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish. All reports can be issued in English. Online sessions are available after the initial in-person meeting.

ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) refers to ADHD without hyperactivity, the predominantly inattentive form. In Denmark ADD is a separate diagnosis. In the international diagnostic systems DSM-5 and ICD-11, ADD falls under ADHD as one of three forms: predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive and combined. At ADHD Klinik, we assess all three forms.

We are registered with Sygeforsikring Danmark (group 1, 2, 5, and S). If you are 25 or younger and have a GP referral, you may be eligible for a partial refund on assessment (not medication). If you have private health insurance, you pay us directly and apply for reimbursement yourself. We always provide a detailed receipt.

Yes, many adults first discover their ADHD in their 30s, 40s, or later. This is especially true for the predominantly inattentive form (ADD), which is often overlooked because symptoms are less visible than hyperactivity. Women are particularly underdiagnosed because ADHD often presents differently from the classic picture. If you recognize problems with concentration, planning, impulsivity, or emotion regulation, an assessment can provide clarity.

Yes, concentration difficulties and impulsivity can appear in many conditions: anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma (PTSD), sleep disorders, and substance use. That is why every course starts with a clinical interview where we screen broadly, so the whole picture is covered.

Cancellations must be made at least 48 hours before the appointment. Late cancellation or no-show will be charged the full session fee.

In the public system, the adult wait time is typically a year and a half or more (Danish Health Authority, 2025). At ADHD Klinik, we have short wait times and offer a complete process with psychiatrist and psychologist, where DIVA-5, medical treatment, and therapy are all under one roof. An ADHD assessment costs DKK 9,700, and with medication initiation a typical course is around DKK 14,800; some people need more follow-ups.

Yes, we have two psychiatrists and two senior psychiatry residents on staff: Rasmus Wæhrens (specialist in psychiatry, PhD) and Robert Bering (specialist in psychiatry), together with doctors Rafl Adnan and Markus Hjorth. The first psychiatric consultation includes somatic and cardiovascular screening, medication selection, and initiation plan (~1 hour, 2,700 DKK). This is followed by 2 follow-up consultations over 4–8 weeks for dose optimization (~30 min, 1,200 DKK each). Once a stable dose is achieved, your GP can take over ongoing prescription management.

After the assessment, you receive a written epicrisis with diagnosis, clinical evaluation, and an individual treatment plan. If ADHD is confirmed, we can offer medical treatment with our psychiatrist as well as psychotherapy or psychoeducation tailored to your needs.
