Adult ADHD

Adult ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how the brain regulates attention, organisation and impulse control. It is not a question of intelligence or effort, but of brain wiring.

In adulthood, ADHD often appears as:

 -  Chronic difficulties starting, prioritising and finishing tasks

 -  Feeling mentally “busy” but not productive

 -  Losing track of time, appointments or everyday admin

 -  Emotional swings, frustration and low self‑esteem

Many adults reach us after years of being told they are “lazy”, “unmotivated” or “not living up to potential”. A structured, consultant psychiatrist‑led assessment looks at your whole life story, including strengths, challenges and co‑existing conditions such as anxiety, depression or autism.

A clear diagnosis can help you understand your own patterns, access appropriate support and make realistic adjustments at work, in education and at home.
