Description

Are you an adult with undiagnosed ADHD?

Many adults with ADHD go unrecognised because their symptoms differ from their childhood presentations. Common signs include:

Inattentive traits

• Chronic procrastination despite excellent intentions
• Frequently losing items (keys, phones, and documents).
• Struggling to follow conversations or complete tasks

Hyperactive/impulsive traits

• Inner restlessness (e.g., constant mental “buzzing”)
• Impulsive decisions (spending, relationships, or career changes)
• Interrupting others or finishing sentences

Emotional & organisational challenges

• Overwhelm from daily planning (even simple tasks)
• Intense emotional reactions disproportionate to situations
• Repeated career or academic underachievement

Note: Symptoms must persist from childhood (under age 12) for an ADHD diagnosis.

FAQs

How accurate are private ADHD assessments?

Our assessments match NHS standards, using validated clinical tools and specialist expertise. Reports are accepted by employers/universities.

What if my GP refuses shared care?

We provide detailed documentation to support your case, though NHS GPs have the final say.

Can I access NHS treatment after private diagnosis?

Yes – your diagnosis is valid, but NHS treatment waits still apply. We help bridge the gap with private care.
