Understanding ADHD in Adults

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that often continues into adulthood. While commonly associated with children, adult ADHD can significantly impact daily life, work performance, relationships, and overall well-being. Symptoms in adults may include difficulties with concentration, organisation, time management, and emotional regulation. Also concerned about autism? We offer a combined adult autism and ADHD assessment in Nottingham.

Key Signs of Adult ADHD

ADHD symptoms in adults often fall into two main categories: 

1. Inattention

  • Difficulty sustaining attention on tasks
  • Frequent forgetfulness and misplacing items
  • Poor organisational skills
  • Procrastination and difficulty completing tasks 

2. Hyperactivity and Impulsivity

  • Restlessness and difficulty relaxing
  • Impulsive decision-making
  • Interrupting conversations
  • Difficulty waiting in lines or traffic
