“ADHD — the truth about its misdiagnosis”
Assessment through NHS in 2017. I had been displaying symptoms of the neuro logical discorder.
I was eventually diagnosed, privately, with ADHD in 2020 by a qualified psychiatrist at the ADHD Centre in Manchester.
At The ADHD Centre Glasgow, we offer a range of services to support to people with ADHD, including:
Comprehensive ADHD assessments to accurately diagnose ADHD and identify any coexisting conditions
Psychological therapies, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
We are committed to helping you manage your symptoms, improve your functioning and achieve your goals. That’s why we offer an end to end diagnostic and treatment service.
We believe in a holistic approach to ADHD care, which means we take the time to get to know you and understand your unique challenges and strengths. Our assessments are thorough and comprehensive, using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-V) model.
A qualified psychologist will assess and diagnose you, taking into account your symptoms, how long they’ve been present, and any input from those close to you.
This gives us a better idea of the type of ADHD, if any, you might have, and whether there could be any comorbid conditions, such as a mood disorder, that we need to take into account.
Our treatment plans are personalised to ensure you receive the support you need to thrive. We will work with you to find the best treatment, be it medication, therapy, or both.
We also offer comprehensive support services for caregivers of children with ADHD, providing advice on how to understand your child’s needs and help them navigate their diagnosis and treatment.
We have in-person locations in London and Manchester, and can offer online appointments in Glasgow and across the UK. Our online assessments make it easy for you to access the care you need, no matter where you’re located.

What is the ADHD Medication?
Stimulants are the doctor’s first choice when it comes to giving a prescription to their patients. This is because it helps calm the individuals who have ADHD. It takes in a form of a skin patch, capsule, pill or liquid and usually lasts up to 4 to 12 hours at most.
However, stimulants do not work for everyone. If this is the case, then, non-stimulants are given to the patient.
Non-stimulants prescribed to those patients who are sleepless and agitated.
There are also instances where doctor prescribe Antidepressants, especially when the patient has a mood disorder, anxiety, or depression.
What are the benefits of ADHD Medication?
Although Medication for ADHD has helped our clients in several ways, most especially in managing symptoms for ADHD. Medications cannot cure ADHD.
They only help the patients control their emotions and to stay focused. This is why doctors recommend that their patients to take medication during their therapy.
Medications do not work for everyone for the cause that every person has different needs. This is why a physician should be closely monitoring during the patient’s medication.
CBT is the acronym for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. It is a manner of treatment created to improve an individual’s happiness through modifying their dysfunctional behaviours, thoughts and emotions. It is aimed to educate the client that their negative thoughts can be their impediment in unlocking their ultimate potentials.
What is Coaching?
Coaching is an intervention given to individuals who have ADHD to help them stay focused on a task while giving encouragements along the way. It targets to improve an individual’s time management, planning, goal setting, organisation and problem solving.
Some circumstances calls for both CBT and Coaching to be combined. The evidence gathered from studies conducted shows that combining the two will give best results.

Our clients have learned how to deal with their problems that involve self-management through our behaviour specialist coaches. These are the problems that individuals with ADHD often experience:
It is common knowledge that one must take care of themselves. One of the ways of taking care of ourselves is by exercising.
The release of the hormone called dopamine is increased whenever we exercise. This simply means that whenever the person with ADHD exercises, their dopamine is increased, therefore improving their focus and attention span.
Endorphins are also released during an excessive exercise. These hormones are the body’s response to pain. Endorphins help soothe the pain, thus giving our body that ‘good-feeling’ and euphoria after we exercise.
What is Mindfulness Meditation?
It is an alternative treatment for ADHD where an individual gives an extra attention to their thoughts, emotions and other body sensations.
How can Mindfulness help those who have ADHD?
Mindfulness Meditation helps develop the patient’s skills such as managing their attention and managing their focus. Not only that, it also helps the patient to be aware of their emotional state. If the patient is aware of their emotional state, their tendency to react impulsively is lessened, which is the common problem for those individuals who have ADHD.
