Based in the world-renowned Harley Street Medical Area, our brain and mind experts are 100% dedicated to brain development so you can get an accurate diagnosis and reliable treatment that works for you.
The only way to diagnose ADHD is by completing a specialist assessment in a clinical environment. It’s important to get an early diagnosis as this can have a significant impact on the condition in later life.
The ADHD assessment lasts for approximately 1.5 hours and includes an online test, called the QbCheck, a clinical interview and the completion of a number of validated assessment scales.
We’ll work with you to provide a bespoke treatment plan that is tailored to you. ADHD affects people differently, so your treatment should be unique to you too.
Medication can help but it is not the only treatment option available for people with ADHD. In fact, a broad range of non-pharmacological approaches exist, such as omega 3 supplements, exclusion diets, cognitive therapy, or neurofeedback. A combination of the two are found to be very successful in treating the condition in some people.
You’ll be seen quickly by our brain and mind experts for your ADHD assessment, diagnosis and treatment that is catered to you.
Many people experience ADHD-like symptoms. However, a diagnosis requires the symptoms to have a negative impact on your daily life. For instance, poor concentration, impulsivity, hyperactivity and risk-taking can have a negative impact on work, learning and social interactions. Symptoms include:
ADHD/ADD is not an illness, but a condition. This means it may predispose individuals to suffer medical and psychiatric conditions like depression, anxiety, conduct disorder, and alcohol and substance abuse. However, a diagnosis of ADHD doesn’t necessarily mean that individuals will have negative outcomes later in life.
In fact, people with ADHD have many positive characteristics! They can succeed because of their charming attitude, endless energy and vitality, creativity, problem-solving skills and empathy. With the right support, the opportunities are endless.
Some famous people with ADHD include the singers Justin Timberlake and Solange Knowles, rapper will.i.am, Olympic swimming sensation Michael Phelps, and Olympic gymnastics champion Louis Smith and businesswoman Paris Hilton. Disney empire founder Walt Disney and Nobel physicist Albert Einstein also had ADHD.
There are many myths about ADHD, some of which include:
This is a common myth that suggests that ADHD is not a real condition and that it is just an excuse for bad behaviour. However, ADHD is a recognised mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide.
Another myth is that ADHD only affects children. While it is true that ADHD is commonly diagnosed in childhood, it can also affect adults. See our ADHD assessment for children here.
While difficulty focusing is a hallmark symptom of ADHD, it is not the only symptom. People with ADHD can also have trouble with impulsivity, hyperactivity, organisation, and time management.
This is a myth that suggests that ADHD is caused by bad parenting or lack of discipline. In fact, scientific evidence shows that ADHD/Attention Deficit Disorder is a highly heritable condition, mostly a combination of certain susceptibility genes and environmental risks factors during pregnancy and early childhood, like low birth weight and prematurity.
This is a myth that suggests that people with ADHD are lazy or unmotivated. However, ADHD can actually make it harder for people to stay motivated and on task.
