What is ADHD

ADHD doesn’t disappear with age, it just looks different. In adults, it’s about struggling with focus, organization, and impulse control. You may find yourself forgetting appointments, jumping between tasks, or feeling restless even when sitting still. DSM and ICD describe it as a lifelong pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity that interferes with daily life. It’s not laziness, it’s a different way the brain manages attention.

FAQs

1. I am not sure if I need an assessment, what should I do?

If you are unsure, we recommend booking a diagnostic consultation session first. This gives you a chance to discuss your concerns with a qualified practitioner and explore whether a full assessment is right for you. If you decide to continue with the full assessment, the cost of the consultation will be deducted from the overall fee.
