ADHD
What is ADHD?
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects both children and adults. It is characterised by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that can impact daily life, relationships, education, and work.
While symptoms vary from person to person, common challenges may include difficulty concentrating, restlessness, forgetfulness, and struggles with organisation or time management. However, many individuals with ADHD also display strengths such as creativity, high energy, and the ability to think outside the box.
ADHD is not a sign of laziness or lack of intelligence—it is a recognised medical condition. With the right assessment, diagnosis, and personalised treatment plan, individuals with ADHD can learn strategies to manage their symptoms and thrive in all areas of life.
Adult ADHD Assessments in the UK
Adult ADHD assessments provide a structured and comprehensive evaluation to identify whether symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder are present. In the UK, assessments typically involve a detailed clinical interview, symptom questionnaires, and a review of medical and personal history. This process ensures an accurate diagnosis and helps develop a tailored treatment plan, which may include therapy, lifestyle strategies, and/or medication. A professional assessment is the first step toward understanding your challenges, gaining clarity, and accessing the right support.
