Adult ADHD Assessment & Treatment by Psychiatrists

Clear diagnosis and personalised care, with same-day treatment and medical reports, in a private and safe space.

Do you suspect you have Adult ADHD?

You might:

Struggle to stay focused for long
Be easily distracted (e.g. by social media)
Procrastinate, even on simple tasks
Rush to meet deadlines at the last minute
Space out during meetings or lectures
Forget tasks or important dates
Feel restless or fidgety

Adult ADHD is often misunderstood. Many individuals underperform relative to their potential and may blame themselves for being “lazy” or lacking discipline. It is a real medical condition – and effective treatments are available.

What is ADHD?

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that starts in childhood and may persist into adulthood. According to studies, around 2.5% of adults are affected.

Adults usually struggle with focus, while children may show hyperactivity, inattention, or both.

ADHD can affect your work or studies, relationships, and mental health.

If this sounds familiar, a consultation with our psychiatrists can give you clarity and guidance.

Untreated Adult ADHD can affect:

WORK

Focus and organisation can be challenging. Even if highly capable, you may procrastinate, get sidetracked, and miss deadlines.

Relationships

Being distracted, forgetful, or slow can be misinterpreted as a lack of commitment.

Mental Health

More prone to anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, and addictions.

Treatment Options for Adult ADHD

Treatment is individualised and designed around your needs.

Medication (When Clinically Appropriate)

Our psychiatrists may prescribe ADHD medications after careful evaluation.

Options include:

With over 70 years of clinical data, ADHD medications are proven to improve focus and overall ADHD symptoms. Many describe them as “reading glasses” or a “torchlight through the fog”.

Benefits and potential side effects are discussed thoroughly, and medication decisions are made carefully, together with you.

Psychological Therapy & ADHD Coaching

We believe in holistic treatment—not just medication, but comprehensive care.

Our psychologists provide:

Executive ADHD coaching - develop organisational skills and focus strategies
Therapy for self-esteem and grief – cope with the impact of an ADHD diagnosis
