Signs you might have undiagnosed adult ADHD

  • ADHD medication prescriptions in England have risen significantly, increasing by 18 per cent annually since the start of the Covid pandemic.
  • Although commonly associated with childhood, ADHD can persist into adulthood with subtle symptoms such as chronic disorganisation, impulsivity, difficulty focusing, restlessness, and procrastination.
  • Adults with ADHD may also experience poor time management, low mood and self-esteem, and low frustration tolerance, often leading to anger or disruptive behavior.
  • A diagnosis of ADHD can be obtained through specialist assessment teams or by consulting a GP who can provide referrals.
  • Diagnosis can offer valuable insights into how the brain functions and open doors to treatment through medication or talk therapy.
