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), the tool recommended by the Danish Health Authority. Finally, you receive feedback with a written report and treatment plan (1 hour report + 1 hour feedback, 3,000 DKK). If ADHD is confirmed, we can start medication the same week.

A full ADHD assessment with medication initiation typically costs 14,600 DKK: clinical interview (3,200 DKK), DIVA-5 assessment (3,500 DKK), feedback with report (3,000 DKK), first psychiatrist consultation (2,500 DKK), and 2–3 medication adjustments (1,200 DKK each). 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 6) and 25 or younger, you may be eligible for a refund covering assessment and psychotherapy.

Yes, we have two psychiatrists: Rasmus Wæhrens (specialist in psychiatry, PhD) and Martin Bergholtz (senior psychiatry resident). They handle medical evaluation, ADHD medication initiation, and ongoing dose optimization. You don't need a separate referral. The psychiatrist is part of your complete pathway with us.

All new clients start with the clinical interview. This is because external diagnoses vary in quality, and 70–80% of people with ADHD have at least one comorbid condition (anxiety, depression, trauma) 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 is an older term for the primarily inattentive type of ADHD, ADHD without the hyperactive component. Today, the term ADHD is used for all types, but a distinction is made between three presentations: primarily inattentive (formerly ADD), primarily hyperactive-impulsive, and combined type. At ADHD Klinik, we assess all three forms.

We are registered with Sygeforsikring Danmark (group 1, 2, 5, and 6). If you are 25 or younger and have a GP referral, you may be eligible for a refund covering assessment and psychotherapy (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 type (formerly 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 we always start with a comprehensive psychopathological screening (F0–F9) that covers the full clinical picture.

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 wait time is typically 1.5–3 years. 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. A full ADHD assessment with potential medication start typically costs DKK 14,600.

Yes, we have two psychiatrists on staff: Rasmus Wæhrens (specialist in psychiatry, PhD) and Martin Bergholtz (senior psychiatry resident). The first psychiatric consultation includes somatic and cardiovascular screening, medication selection, and initiation plan (~1 hour, 2,500 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.
