ADHD in Adults
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is often associated with children, but it can persist in adulthood, affecting daily life, relationships, and work performance.
Many adults with ADHD remain undiagnosed, struggling with symptoms they may not fully understand.
At ADHD Clarity, we provide expert assessments and support to help adults in the UK manage ADHD effectively.
If you suspect you have ADHD, seeking a professional assessment can be life-changing. Contact ADHD Clarity today to book a consultation and start your journey towards better focus and wellbeing.
Common symptoms of ADHD in adults
ADHD symptoms in adults may differ from those in children and can include:
- Inattention: Difficulty focusing, frequent distractions and trouble completing tasks.
- Hyperactivity: Restlessness, fidgeting or feeling constantly ‘on the go’.
- Impulsivity: Interrupting others, making quick decisions without thinking.
- Disorganisation: Struggling with time management, forgetfulness and losing items.
- Emotional dysregulation: Mood swings, frustration and sensitivity to criticism.
Many adults with ADHD develop coping strategies, but their untreated symptoms can lead to challenges in careers, education, and personal relationships.
How ADHD is diagnosed in adults
Diagnosing ADHD in adults requires a thorough assessment by a qualified specialist. At ADHD Clarity, our process includes:
- Initial consultation: Discussing symptoms, medical history and their impact on daily life.
- Structured assessment: Using validated screening tools and questionnaires.
- Collateral information: Gathering insights from family, partners or school reports if available.
- Differential diagnosis: Ruling out other conditions like anxiety, depression or bipolar disorder.
A formal diagnosis can offer clarity and provide access to customised treatment options.
