Adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Sometimes, the signs of ADHD are not recognised until adulthood. You may have longstanding difficulties staying organised, managing your time, concentrating or following through on tasks. You may also feel restless, impulsive or find yourself acting before thinking. Many people experience a mix of these challenges. If your symptoms are affecting your work, relationships or daily life, a specialist assessment can help determine whether ADHD may be the underlying cause.
Why Choose Us for Adult ADHD Care?
Collaborative care:
Our consultant neuropsychiatrists diagnose and manage ADHD in adults and related neurodevelopmental and mental health conditions, such as epilepsy, Tourette syndrome, sleep disorders and more. Where appropriate, we work closely with psychologists, neuropsychologists and neurologists to ensure your care is coordinated and tailored to your needs. Meet our team.
Patient-centred care:
No two adults experience ADHD in the same way. We take the time to understand your individual strengths and challenges and how your symptoms affect your work, relationships, emotional well-being and daily life. This helps us develop a personalised, evidence-based treatment plan based on your needs and priorities.
Comprehensive care:
Our specialist neuropsychiatric approach provides a detailed assessment of your symptoms and overall clinical picture. Alongside ADHD, we consider neurological, psychological and physical health factors, as well as any co-existing conditions, such as anxiety, mood disorders or sleep difficulties. This helps ensure an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.
Virtual visits:
Not every appointment needs to be in person. We also offer secure, convenient virtual visits, giving you the flexibility to access care from home.
Diagnosing Adult ADHD at Cleveland Clinic London
During your assessment, you will meet with a consultant neuropsychiatrist. They will ask about your symptoms, how they affect your day-to-day life — including work and relationships — and any difficulties you may have experienced as a child.
Sometimes, we use behavioural questionnaires or rating scales to help us build a clearer picture of your symptoms. Your consultant will consider all these things alongside recognised diagnostic criteria to guide a diagnosis.
For many people, gaining a better understanding of whether ADHD is affecting them helps make sense of experiences that may have felt confusing for years.
If needed, we may also recommend a physical examination to rule out other conditions that can cause similar symptoms. However, there is no blood test or brain scan that can diagnose ADHD.
A Team Approach to Care
At Cleveland Clinic London, we believe that a collaborative approach provides the best results when diagnosing and treating adult ADHD. Led by a consultant neuropsychiatrist, your care team may also include:
