Why Diagnosis Matters
Undiagnosed ADHD can have a significant impact on multiple aspects of life:
Academic & Work Challenges
• Struggles with concentration, time management, and task completion
• Chronic underachievement and frequent job changes
• Financial instability due to impulsive decision-making
Relationship Difficulties
• Impulsivity and inattentiveness can strain personal and professional relationships
• Increased risk of misunderstandings and conflicts
Mental Health Risks
• Higher likelihood of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem
• Exacerbated stress and reduced overall quality of life
Risky Behaviours & Substance Abuse
• Greater vulnerability to substance misuse
• Engaging in impulsive or high-risk activities
Early diagnosis and intervention are essential for reducing these risks and improving overall well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the assessment for ADHD?
ADHD assessments typically involve a series of evaluations to determine if an individual meets the DSM criteria for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. These assessments can include interviews with the individual, their parents or caregivers, and teachers to gather information about symptoms and behaviours. Additionally, questionnaires and rating scales may be used to assess the severity of symptoms and their impact on daily functioning. Other assessments, such as cognitive neuropsychology testing and behavioural observations, may also be carried out to provide a comprehensive understanding of the individual's difficulties. Overall, the assessment process for ADHD aims to accurately diagnose the condition and develop an appropriate treatment plan to help manage symptoms effectively.
What does an ADHD assessment for adults involve?
An ADHD assessment for adults typically involves thoroughly reviewing the individual's medical history, symptoms, and behaviour patterns. It may include self-report questionnaires, interviews with family members or significant others, and cognitive testing to assess areas such as attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity.
Is an ADHD assessment available in the UK?
Yes, ADHD assessments are available in the UK through healthcare providers, such as GPs, psychologists, and psychiatrists. Private ADHD offers professional adult ADHD assessments and ADHD assessments for children in a safe, professional and welcoming environment. You may choose to do an online assessment or visit us at our clinic in London.

What happens if I'm diagnosed with ADHD?
If you are diagnosed with ADHD, you will receive a proposed treatment plan along with options tailored to your diagnosis, as well as an information pack outlining the next steps for implementing your treatment plan.
What if I decide to take medication?
For adults with ADHD, treatment often includes stimulant medications such as Methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta) and Amphetamine-based drugs (Adderall, Vyvanse). These medications help improve focus, attention, and impulse control and are usually prescribed in higher doses compared to those for children. Non-stimulant options like Atomoxetine (Strattera) are also available, particularly for adults who have additional conditions like anxiety or heart issues.
ADHD titration involves starting with the lowest dose of ADHD medication and gradually increasing it. It may take up to a week to notice a difference in your symptoms when taking the medication.
It’s common to have a few side effects with ADHD medication, but titration is how we avoid this by gradually increasing the dose. Some side effects are reduced appetite, weight loss, transient blood pressure increases, headaches and trouble sleeping.

What people are saying about Private ADHD
Had a consultation with Dr Pav. Cannot recommend highly enough, I had been struggling with symptoms that had been affecting my life for some time. I went to the GP and was told the waiting time was 3-5 years. Booking with privateadhd.co.uk was surprising easy. Once I chose my appointment and confirmed the booking I was sent a pre assessment questionnaire that took about 30 mins to complete, I filled this out with my partner. After this I received a phone call from the doctor and we confirmed the video call appointment for the very next day.

I had an exceptional experience with PrivateADHD for my ADHD diagnosis, and for anyone stuck on the lengthy public waitlist, I highly recommend taking the leap and seeking a private assessment through them... From day one, PrivateADHD was incredibly responsive and supportive. Out of all the private clinics I reached out to, they stood out for their kindness and willingness to address any question or concern I had along the way. I’m genuinely grateful for the care they showed me, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice to go through them.

"I was already diagnosed in my home country and I moved to London recently. The NHS initially refused to consult me or provide medication, moreover the waiting list for the online sessions with psychologist are two years. I found this private clinic, and they were immediately very helpful, always responding and assisting me with any issues. The online sessions also helped me navigate my daily life better. Later on, we successfully established a shared care agreement with my GP, and the clinic did not charge extra for this service, unlike other clinics."
"My experience with Private ADHD was excellent and I thanks to God that I found them because it was really difficult getting the medication for my daughter and I was really worried so I sent them a message straightaway.

"I waited nearly 2 years for an NHS ADHD diagnosis; following the NHS appointment in April I was told the wait to start medication would be 8-10 months. In complete despair, I decided to seek private treatment- I contacted Dr Kooner and was able to book a diagnostic reassessment and initial medication titration appointment within 24 hours, and received my first prescription within 3 days. Having access to medication has been an absolute game changer for me and I am so thankful to Dr Kooner for this!"

"I've never been listened to since I've been able to go to the doctors myself for help... It wasn't until I seeked private help with Dr Kooner at PrivateADHD, where I was finally listened to and taken seriously. He went through everything in so much detail and diagnosed me with ADHD. We have regular catch ups to ensure the medication is working for me, which is great... Since being placed on the recommended medication by Dr Kooner, my life has changed for the better, everyone around me has seen such a positive outcome and change."
