ADHD testing, diagnosis, and treatment in Tokyo, Japan
Are you looking for an ADHD diagnosis with English speaking professionals in Tokyo? Do you suspect that you might have ADHD? At Roppongi Clinic, we offer all the steps you need to lead a better life with ADHD: testing, diagnosis, and full range of treatment, including doctor-led support and psychotherapy.
First consultation
Our psychiatrist will learn about your symptoms and medical history. Please bring your previous mental health diagnosis and supporting documents. This session will be covered by Japanese health insurance when you present a valid insurance card or mynumber card.
Testing
We can perform ADHD/ASD testings in English, Spanish, Korean and Japanese. ADHD/ASD testings are conducted by our psychologists, to assist our psychiatrists in making a diagnosis and treatment plans.
The test consists of a set of modules to assess ADHD, ASD, and related cognitive ability. For adults the time frame would be 2 hours to complete the test, while it can take up to 3 hours for the children/teenage version.
Testing can be directly booked on our booking page and confirmed after payment completion. For questions regarding the booking, you are advised to email us at english@roppongi-clinic.jp. Please first Check our policy regarding prepayment.
The testing costs 44,000~66,000 yen and is not covered by Japanese health insurance. We provide support and documents if your third-party insurance plan covers your mental health care including psychological testing. Please first contact your insurance administrator for requirements.
Result session
Our psychologist will give you a feedback on your test results, and this 15 minute session is covered by the test fees. The result session is usually booked on the testing day at the clinic.
Diagnosis
After receiving the test results, please book a doctor’s consultation. Based on the test results and the doctor’s assessment during the consultation, you may receive a diagnosis and begin treatment. Please note that test results alone do not guarantee a diagnosis; a doctor’s professional judgment is also required.
If you need special accommodations at work or school, our doctors can provide a diagnosis letter. Please note that written documents, such as a diagnosis letter or doctor’s note, require a separate fee and are not covered by health insurance.
Treatment
Psychiatry: Doctor-led support can be an essential part of managing ADHD for some of you. We recommend consulting with our psychiatrist to plan the treatment. For more information on ADHD treatment in Japan, check here.
ADHD Coaching: We have ADHD coaching sessions tailored for each individual with ADHD to create and maintain strategies to better manage day-to-day tasks, and develop coping skills for emotions and decision-making. Our therapists will offer practical tips and set goals with you.
You might wonder….
How much should I expect to pay in total to get a diagnosis?
Patients should expect to pay for the test (￥44,000~￥66,000) and for a doctor consultation (around ￥5,500 for new patients and around ￥1,500 for follow up patients) to get the diagnosis.
Why can you provide an ADHD diagnosis while other places cannot?
We don’t only offer therapy services, but also psychiatric services since only doctors can give you a diagnosis and therapists cannot in Japan. Therapists help psychiatrists to assess and provide you with an ADHD diagnosis.
How long does it take to get my results?
We are constantly training our staff to specialize in different areas so we can deliver the results faster. Currently, we can deliver results in 1-3 weeks.
