If you feel like you are constantly battling to focus, struggling with disorganisation, or feeling an inner restlessness you can’t explain, you are not alone.

ADHD is not just about "being hyperactive." It is a complex condition that presents in three primary ways: predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive, or a combination of both. These symptoms often manifest differently depending on age and gender.
It is very common for ADHD to co-occur with conditions like anxiety and depression. You can read our detailed guide on understanding ADHD and anxiety here
For many adults, symptoms that were present in childhood may have been missed or misunderstood. Adult ADHD symptoms are often less about external hyperactivity and more about internal restlessness, disorganisation, and difficulty with executive function.
Common signs include:
Think you may have symptoms? The Adult Self-Report Scale (ASRS) is a screening tool used by professionals to identify the signs of ADHD.
ADHD symptoms in women and girls are overlooked at an epidemic rate. This is because the condition often presents as predominantly inattentive, which does not fit the outdated stereotype of a hyperactive young boy.
Women with undiagnosed ADHD often report feeling exhausted, anxious, or "broken" from a lifetime of masking their symptoms.
Common signs in women include:
A diagnosis can be a life-changing event, providing validation and a path forward. Our Consultant Psychiatrists specialize in assessing the nuanced presentation of ADHD in adults.
In children and teens, ADHD symptoms are often more observable and can impact their ability to succeed in school and social settings.
Common signs include:
A professional assessment is the only way to understand your child's unique profile and secure the support they need to thrive.
Searching for a "private ADHD assessment" can be overwhelming. Our process is designed to be clear, robust, and supportive, delivering the medical legitimacy you deserve.
Your assessment is not just a screening tool; it is a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation led by a GMC-Registered Consultant Psychiatrist. Our team’s extensive NHS experience means we follow the highest national standards (NICE Guidelines).
This is why our reports and diagnoses are fully recognized and accepted by the NHS, HSE, and educational institutions, allowing you to access medication, workplace accommodations, or Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA) without issue.
Our process is simple:
Holistic Aftercare: Following diagnosis, we collaborate with you to create a personalized post-assessment plan, which can include medication, therapy, and practical support.
We often receive questions about the link between different neurodevelopmental conditions. These are excellent questions that show a deep understanding of the topic.
ADHD is a form of neurodivergence, which simply means the brain functions differently from the "neurotypical" standard.
Many individuals searching for information on ADHD also find they have traits associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). While ADHD and Autism are distinct conditions, they frequently co-occur. Our expert psychiatrists are trained to assess for both, ensuring you receive a complete and accurate diagnostic picture.

Evidence strongly suggests that ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that you are born with and which has a significant genetic component. However, symptoms may not become challenging or noticeable until life’s demands (like work, university, or parenting) exceed your brain's capacity to cope.
Yes. "Neurodivergent" is a broad term for anyone whose brain processes information in a way that differs from the "typical" standard. ADHD, alongside conditions like Autism and Dyslexia, is a form of neurodiversity.
This is a common and important question. ADHD is classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder, not a mental illness. While it is not a "learning disability," it can be considered a disability under the Equality Act 2010 in the UK if its symptoms have a "substantial and long-term" negative effect on your ability to carry out normal daily activities.
No, they are distinct conditions. However, they are both neurodevelopmental conditions and they very frequently co-occur. It is estimated that 30-80% of autistic individuals also have ADHD. Our expert consultants are qualified to assess for both, helping you understand your unique profile.
