Free ADHD Symptoms Test
Trusted by 20,000+ Canadians

50% of Canadian adults with ADHD don’t have a diagnosis.
That means thousands of Canadians don’t realize the impact ADHD has on their lives every day.
Common ADHD symptoms in adults:
Impulsive decision-making
Procrastination
Disorganization
Struggles with sleep
Lack of focus
Low self-esteem
Why don’t more people get help for ADHD?
We’ve talked to thousands of patients with ADHD. When we ask why they haven’t received care for ADHD before, they often tell us:
They didn’t realize they have symptoms of ADHD
They had a negative experience with another healthcare provider
The wait for ADHD care providers is too long (2–6 months or more)
They can’t afford a private ADHD clinic (often $2,500+)
These reasons are why we created Frida: a more compassionate, accessible and affordable way to get ADHD care in Canada — 100% online.

Accessible, affordable & very thorough. Super professional and informative. My diagnostic assessment included free therapy resources (talk therapy sessions & CBT) in addition to my prescribed medication treatment. Overall really impressed with how they're reforming ADHD care.

They are always so kind over the phone and have been so understanding throughout the entire process, from diagnosis, to dosage adjustments, and quarterly checkups. If I hadn’t found Frida I probably would still be on the wait list with a GP waiting for a referral. It can be pricey but it’s a huge investment in your health and lifestyle. Thank you Frida ♡

The team at Frida made the diagnosis and treatment process easy to navigate, and always showed a great deal of care in all of our conversations. They have been able to answer all of my questions and provide great insight into living with and managing ADHD. I would definitely recommend them to anyone starting their diagnosis journey.

I had my assessment with Frida ADHD this morning, and I was truly impressed by the service. My RN, Nicole, was incredibly attentive, thorough, and compassionate. I felt genuinely heard throughout the appointment, which far exceeded my expectations. I can't recommend this service highly enough!

After using Frida, my general anxiety levels dropped significantly. I’ve had less fidgeting during meetings and more motivation to follow through with things. Falling asleep only takes 30 mins compared to 2 hours before I got treatment. I’m doing hobbies I love again and my relationships are better. Thank you Frida.

Frequently asked questions
Who is Frida for?
Frida is for anyone over the age of 18 who believes they have ADHD, or has ADHD. We tend to focus on women* because ADHD is more under-diagnosed in women than in men. Boys are 3x more likely to be diagnosed as girls, and research shows that 75% of women with attention problems are undiagnosed (source: CADDAC).
All that being said, we welcome everyone to Frida, regardless of the gender and sex they were assigned at birth.
*women in all their diversity: cis-women, trans and non-binary individuals.
What if I’m not diagnosed with ADHD?
We recommend starting with our one minute self-assessment. It is a clinically validated tool called the ASRS that is used to help diagnose ADHD in adults.
The ASRS is extremely effective at accurately telling you if you do not have ADHD. And it is pretty effective at telling you if you do have ADHD, although less so. If you don’t have ADHD, the self-assessment will give you a good indicator.
If your assessment results say your symptoms are consistent with ADHD, we recommend booking an appointment with a Frida clinician for a full-length interview to better assess your possible ADHD diagnosis. If at the end of the paid assessment you aren’t diagnosed, our clinicians will still share resources for how you might find help for your symptoms, even if it is another condition and you’ll still receive access to 3 hours of free cognitive behavioural therapy.
You can start the self-assessment here.
I already have ADHD. Is Frida for me?
Yes! If you’d like the additional care Frida provides, we welcome you. We still require all patients to go through our diagnostic process to make sure we can provide you with the highest quality of care.
Complete our free 2-min self-assessment and create an account to see if Frida is right for you.
Does Frida prescribe medications?
Frida prescribes all medications recommended in the Canadian ADHD practice guidelines. If medication is part of your treatment plan, there is no one size fits all - your clinician will recommend medication(s) based on a variety of factors.
If you have anxiety and/or depression (which are common in people with ADHD), your clinician will create a holistic treatment plan, and will also prescribe medication for these conditions.
How much does Frida cost?
Frida provides two complementary services — diagnostic assessments and continuous care — that have separate costs.
A diagnostic assessment with a Frida clinician costs a one-time fee of $599. If you're diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety, or depression, you can continue to meet with your Frida clinician at a cost of $99 per appointment.
Frida is covered by private insurers that have an eligible health spending account. If you need financial support to pay for your diagnostic assessment fee, contact us and we'll help.
Does Frida accept private insurance?
You will be able to claim Frida's diagnosis & treatment costs if your private insurance plan offers a health spending account.
However, the cost is not covered by private insurance plans that do not have a specific health spending account.
Does Frida provide therapy?
In partnership with GreenShield Cares, Frida is now proudly offering three free hours of virtual therapy with a registered therapist and a one-year subscription to internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy, included with your ADHD assessment. You can access these therapy services even if you are not diagnosed with ADHD.
