Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Clinic
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterised by symptoms of inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity. For a diagnosis, the difficulties associated with ADHD must interfere significantly with an individual's functioning. As a result, ADHD is linked to a variety of difficulties related to academic performance, employment and interpersonal relationships. Additional mental health problems and substance misuse can also be common and require additional support.
The condition develops in childhood but the majority continue to have ADHD as adults. Around 2.5% of the general adult population have ADHD. In childhood more boys than girls are diagnosed with ADHD, whereas in adulthood this tends to be more balanced.
