How can an ADHD assessment help?

For children or adults struggling with symptoms of ADHD , an assessment is the first step towards getting help. ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) can cause a range of difficulties in everyday life, including having a short attention span, problems with organisation, being forgetful, being easily distractible, and difficulties sticking to one particular task. ADHD is categorised into different types, such as predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive, or combined type.

Symptoms of hyperactivity are not present in all cases, but where present, they cause additional problems such as being unable to sit still, being impulsive, having a poor sense of danger, excessive talking, and being unable to take turns. Problems associated with ADHD can have a significant impact on everyday life, preventing individuals from reaching their full potential within relationships, at school, or in the workplace.

Unfortunately, due to the stress and impact of living with the condition, ADHD can also lead to other psychological difficulties such as anxiety and depression. Symptoms of ADHD are often misunderstood, and people with ADHD can be incorrectly thought of as lacking in intellectual ability or willingness to behave appropriately.

An ADHD assessment at the purple house clinic can be crucial for individuals struggling with symptoms. Our assessments are carried out by specialist ADHD clinicians and involve ADHD tests to diagnose ADHD of different types and their associated difficulties. Following the assessment, the healthcare professional will analyse the results and discuss the findings with you, writing a report to confirm the outcome and recommendations.
