For more clarity in your mind and room in your life

Careful assessment for ADHD and treatment that fits your life. By a multidisciplinary team that focuses entirely on adults.

Does this sound familiar?

Ten tabs open. Picking up one thing, doing five others. Started everything, finished nothing. Hyperfocus. Always on. Walking upstairs. What for again?. All thought through. Now to actually start.. Just this first. And this. And this.. A list for your lists. New hobby. Ordered everything. Lost interest.. The plan is done. So is the day. So are you.. Getting stuck on something simple. Working harder for the same result. Putting it off until you can't any longer. What was I going to say again?. Bought everything. Except what you came for.. A good idea. In the middle of the night.. A small task. A huge run-up.. Just checking the time. An hour of scrolling.. Really starting tomorrow. Started, not finished.

Specialised in ADHD. And then setting everything in motion.

Sometimes ADHD is behind it. Sometimes something else.

Concentration problems or restlessness can also be caused by stress, lack of sleep or low mood. That is why we take a broad view: at your childhood as well as your life now.

What is ADHD?

What is ADHD

Three core features, different for everyone.

ADHD is a neurobiological condition that begins in childhood. In adults it often shows less visibly, and more on the inside.

  • Attention

    Easily distracted, difficulty starting or finishing things, losing things. Or, on the contrary, hyperfocus on what interests you.

  • Restlessness

    In adults often on the inside: a mind that is always on, difficulty relaxing or sitting still.

  • Impulsivity

    Act first, think later. Interrupting others, quick decisions, impatience.

Please note:These features also occur with stress, lack of sleep or low mood. That is why our assessment looks broadly.

  1. From discussing your symptoms to the invitation for diagnostics.

    1. Discuss your symptoms with your GPYour GP assesses whether an assessment in specialised mental health care is appropriate.
    2. ReferralYour GP sends a referral letter via ZorgDomein (the secure system GPs use for referrals), addressed to ADHD Medisch Centrum.
    3. Review of your referralOur team checks whether our care fits your symptoms and request for help. We will let you know.
    4. Waiting listIf your registration is suitable, we place you on the waiting list.
    5. Invitation for diagnosticsAs soon as there is space, we will contact you to schedule the appointments.

Many people sometimes have trouble concentrating, are occasionally careless or find it hard to sit still. But some people struggle with this so much that it causes them problems in daily life. When this is the case, it may be ADHD.

To find out whether your symptoms fit ADHD and to start suitable treatment, you can come to ADHD Medisch Centrum. ADHD Medisch Centrum was founded to provide high-quality, personal care to adults with ADHD. We understand that ADHD is not just a diagnosis, but a complex spectrum of challenges that affects different areas of life, including work and relationships. Our multidisciplinary team helps you find more structure and balance.

For diagnostics and treatment within specialised mental health care (GGZ), you need a referral. Your GP or practitioner can send it to ADHD Medisch Centrum. Once we have received it, we assess the referral and let you know by email. Because of the large number of registrations, there is currently a waiting time. You can find the current waiting time on our website. When you reach the top of the waiting list, we will contact you to schedule the appointments.

The diagnostic pathway consists of several carefully structured steps. Our multidisciplinary team looks closely at your symptoms and at other possible explanations, so that a complete picture emerges. If the diagnosis is made, we decide on the treatment pathway together with you.

The treatment is tailored to your situation and usually consists of psychoeducation, cognitive behavioural therapy and medication. When the treatment goals have been achieved and the medication is properly adjusted, the treatment is completed. Your GP receives a closing letter, so that your care can be continued through your GP.

Good care for your symptoms starts with making the right choice. We warmly welcome you to ADHD Medisch Centrum.

Costs

Diagnostics and treatment can be reimbursed under basic health insurance. What you pay yourself depends on your health insurer, your policy and your deductible (eigen risico).

  1. 01What your insurer reimbursesBased on your health insurer and type of basic health insurance.
  2. 02What we waiveMost of the part that is not reimbursed, under our goodwill scheme (coulanceregeling).

I had a very good experience in this practice. Special thanks to Tabasum Shuja, probably one of the best mental health practitioners I have encountered throughout my life. Very professional, great active listener, and a motivating heart of gold!

I had nothing but positive experiences with my two years of treatment at the ADHD Medisch Centrum. As an international student in Amsterdam, I’ve heard enough horror stories about accessing Dutch mental health care while on private student insurance. I would have never expected my own journey to go as smoothly as it did. The waiting time was reasonable, they are compatible with AON student insurance, and made sure to get me started with medication first while waiting for transition period to start counseling.

In particular I would like to thank the psychiatrist and psychologist Omar and Rabab, who were the definition of professionalism all the way through. They did their best to cater to my specific needs, and truly no session felt wasted. Communication with the administration team also went very smoothly, they always patiently answered my list of questions regarding isnruances and claims. It is thanks to the effective treatment I received here that I was able to complete my studies in a timely manner. If you are an international student looking for treatment or diagnosis for ADHD, I would highly recommend checking them out!

The pathway at ADHD Medisch Centrum gave me more than I had expected beforehand. The intake and diagnosis were as expected. In the treatment, some explanation about ADHD was combined with behavioural therapy and medication. Beforehand I thought I only needed the last of these. That was not the case. I already knew a lot about ADHD, but not that it affects emotion regulation. Through explanation about this, help with recognising it and learning to deal with it better, combined with adjusting my medication, I now have my emotions much better under control. That is the biggest gain in my daily life, and a gain I had not expected. In short: I am very, very satisfied with the whole pathway.

I am extremely satisfied with ADHD Medisch Centrum. From the first contact, the support felt pleasant, clear and safe. They always thought along with me and worked in a practical way, which has helped me enormously in daily life. Something else I really appreciated is that the support could take place online, as I don't live nearby. I was also given good help with arranging documents for official bodies.

Grateful for the wonderful support and the positive impact it has had!

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and professional ADHD diagnosis and support.

It was a wonderful experience. I’m 42 years old and I struggled all my life with things and behaviors I didn’t understood. Been diagnosed with ADHD By ADHD Medisch Centrum help me find answers to all this things and to be able to understand how my brain works. In the practice everyone was really nice and they really take their time to explain how the process works and teach you how to understand and be able to have a normal life having ADHD.

I have been helped enormously by the practical approach of the ADHD Medisch Centrum: no endless psychological process, but concrete tools you can apply straight away in your daily life. Efficient, to the point, and exactly what someone with ADHD needs.

Throughout my youth I always had the feeling of being different and not understanding myself. After years of uncertainty and doubt, I decided to follow a pathway at this centre. Very professional people who have helped me.

As far as I am concerned, the treatment pathway at ADHD MC could not have been better. I was treated well, efficiently and professionally. People are friendly, take the time to explain everything clearly, and the commitment they show is genuine. You feel you are in very good hands here; I can recommend to anyone that they get treatment at ADHD MC!

I am very satisfied with the whole process. Everything was well thought out, and I really appreciate how they helped me find the right support. The guidance was personal and professional, and I felt well understood throughout the entire pathway.

Mo K. · Translated from Dutch

I have nothing but praise. I feel taken seriously, and all aspects of a person's life and problems are taken into account. Every week (in the initial phase) a conversation with the doctor about medication, and support from a psychologist. The psychologist also looks at the whole picture. Great, I should have done this years earlier!

Paula K. · Translated from Dutch

I’m truly grateful for the support I received at ADHD MC. From the very first contact, the process was seamless — the waiting time was minimal, and I was quickly connected with highly skilled professionals who provided outstanding support. The diagnostic process was thorough and considerate, with ample time dedicated to fully understanding my symptoms and how they impacted my daily life.

At a particularly difficult moment, when ADHD was strongly affecting me, Hazrat worked rapidly to design a treatment plan tailored to my needs, including also amazing professionals into my “self-learning” process. Since starting the treatment with Hazrat and Rabab, I’ve experienced a significant improvement in my day-to-day life.

I can wholeheartedly recommend ADHD MC to anyone seeking professional and reliable support for ADHD diagnosis and treatment.

The pathway at ADHDMC truly exceeded my expectations. From the start I felt taken seriously and understood. The whole team is professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks to their guidance, I have gained more insight into my ADHD and practical tools to deal with it better in my daily life. The pathway has really had a positive impact on how I see myself and my challenges. I can absolutely recommend ADHDMC to anyone looking for professional support and personal growth.

I am extremely satisfied with my pathway at ADHD MC. From the first contact, the waiting time was surprisingly short and I was helped quickly and professionally. The diagnostics felt very thorough and careful: they really took the time to get a complete picture of my symptoms and functioning.

The guidance from Hazrat was particularly pleasant. He takes plenty of time, explains everything calmly and clearly, and has a great deal of knowledge and experience. You can tell that he is genuinely involved and listens carefully to your story. I also found the psychological treatment very valuable. It is fully tailored to my personal needs and situation, which means it really works.

In short: at ADHD MC I felt taken seriously, I got quick and expert help, and I am being supported in a personal and committed way. Highly recommended for anyone looking for professional and effective help with ADHD.

I am very satisfied with the help I am getting at the ADHD Medisch Centrum. The support is professional and I am kept well informed throughout the whole pathway. What I particularly appreciate is that they really listen to me. I feel taken seriously. I am also glad that my GP referred me here; there was no long waiting list, which was a nice surprise. All in all, a positive experience!

From the intake to the actual treatment, I was helped very professionally, quickly and decisively by the team. Through the use of daily medication, as well as the online sessions that have given me practical tools, I feel calmer, I am able to keep my focus for a long time and I am a more patient father.

Very satisfied ADHD Medisch Centrum, had a very quick process I had my diagnosis within 2.5 months of seeing my GP. Hazrat has been very informative and patient, I felt comfortable and listened to, he took the time to explain every step of the process and make sure all my questions are answered. I haven’t started my CBT but I have no doubt it will be up to the same standard as the rest of my experience so far.

Ari K.

I would definitely recommend ADHD medisch to anyone starting/going through their ADHD journey. Hazrat was great from the start, really informative, kind and patient. He’s also been encouraging and I feel very comfortable with him. I have monthly checks to see how I’m doing, which means a lot because any questions I have can be answered. They also organised for me to have CBT and that’s been very helpful so far. The only thing that I struggled with was understanding the financial side of things, however numbers aren’t my strong point so that may have happened no matter what! It’s much more affordable than ADHD centraal and I was seen quickly which meant that I had my diagnosis within three months of going to see my doctor. Once I was diagnosed, Hazrat helped me to figure out which medication was best for me and he was happy to help me through and understand the differences between the different types of medication too. Give these guys a go you won’t be disappointed!

I am very satisfied with the speed and professionalism of ADHD Medisch centrum. In a few months I went from intake, to diagnosis, to therapy and medication. The doctor (Hazrat) is very pleasant to work with. I have already recommended to several people who suspect they have ADHD that they register here 🙂

Pleasant guidance and proper treatment for diagnosis. You are not simply fobbed off.

Aafke T. · Translated from Dutch

I heard through an acquaintance that a new clinic had opened where I could quickly get a diagnosis and treatment. I was able to be seen here within a month (!) and was treated kindly by the doctors and the psychologist. Something else I think is great is that you can also have appointments online and that there are evening consultation hours. So far I have had no problems with communication; they are easy to reach and everything always goes very smoothly, both by email and by phone. This is especially useful when I had a quick question or comment about my medication and adjusting it. I am very grateful for the help I have received!

I was hesitating between 2 clinics but decided to go to adhd medisch centrum after all, because the waiting list here was much shorter. So that is what I did, and I was able to be seen fairly quickly. The first intake interview was with a gentleman who explained everything to me clearly from A to Z. After that I was welcomed kindly at every appointment. So for people who are hesitating, like I was: just do it. It has helped me enormously up to now, so I recommend it.

I am very satisfied with my treatment at ADHDMC. The staff are very professional and happy to think along with you. Compared with other organisations, I personally find there is a world of difference in the communication between practitioner and patient. At ADHDMC I really got the feeling that they listen to me and take time for me.

In short, ADHDMC has left a professional impression and has a personal touch, which has given me the feeling that my pathway is in good hands.

I have ADD and was referred to adhd medisch centrum by my GP. I was on the waiting list for 2 months. Unfortunately I missed the first calls from adhd medisch centrum myself. On 6 July I received an email from them and then emailed back within the 7-day deadline expressing interest in an intake. After that I heard nothing more. Sent 2 more emails but got no reply. On 21 July I decide to call. I then get a gentleman on the phone with a rather aggressive tone.

I have to be diagnosed again because “Ms Werner at 17 is not the same Ms Werner as at 30.” As far as I know you cannot recover from ADD, but fine.

He then asks whether I am aware of an extra contribution of 200 euros. I tell him that money is tight and I don't really have that available. He then asks, rather cheekily, “whether I do have 385 euros available for the deductible.”

Interesting way of providing care.

So I won't be coming back here.
