ADHD is a commonly diagnosed developmental disorder in children in the UK – but in up to half of cases, the symptoms can persist into adulthood.
For adults with ADHD, it’s never too late to receive an accurate diagnosis and personalised treatment plan. With our support at our ADHD clinic in Manchester and our ADHD clinic in London, adults can lead fulfilling lives by learning to understand and manage their symptoms.
The first step in successfully treating ADHD is recognising that you have it. Let us help you begin your journey.

It is never too late to get an ADHD diagnosis, whether in childhood or adulthood. A diagnosis then enables you to get access to highly effective and frequently life changing treatments. At the ADHD Centre, our evidence-based treatments have been shown to be among the most effective and expert treatments available. Your individual treatment plan will empower you to manage your ADHD symptoms and improve your levels of functioning in ways that you may not have thought possible.
Our treatments include:
At The ADHD Centre, we offer the latest evidence-based treatments, and can ensure you have the guidance you need every step of the way.
If you choose to go on medication, once you are on a stable regime, if you wish, we’re able to set up a Shared Care Agreement with your GP. This means they can take over the prescribing of any medication that may be outlined in your personalised treatment plan.
We have standard protocol documents to facilitate this procedure – essentially, it means your prescription would become an NHS prescription, and therefore charged at their standard rate.
Please note: we cannot guarantee a Shared Care arrangement with your GP. If you are interested in this option, we would encourage you to discuss your plans for a Shared Care Agreement with your GP before you commence any treatment with The ADHD Centre, so that they are informed and involved early on.
ADHD in men is a complex and multifaceted condition, and as such, there’s no simple ‘yes/no test’ to diagnose ADHD in men. Diagnosis takes the form of a one-to-one structured clinical assessment with an experienced mental health practitioner. Diagnosis is made based on the internationally recognized DSM-V (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition) criteria to determine the presence of ADHD and give an accurate ADHD diagnosis.
Your doctor will also consider the nature, number, and frequency of ADHD symptoms you experience to inform a diagnosis and investigate the possibility of any coexisting disorders. Only medically-qualified doctors (accredited psychiatrists) can diagnose ADHD in men and prescribe medication.
Here at The ADHD Centre, your diagnosis will be carried out by one of our Specialist Consultant Psychiatrists. You’ll complete a questionnaire beforehand and will also be asked some questions about your medical and developmental history, social, academic, and work experiences, history of substance abuse, and other aspects of your life that may help determine the presence of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
There is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ presentation of ADHD in men, and so managing the symptoms can vary. With that said, there are a few at-home strategies to help men manage Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, such as:
With support from professionals at The ADHD Centre, you can manage your symptoms even better by:
ADHD in men doesn’t always look the same: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a nuanced condition, and as such, can present a range of symptoms, depending on the type of ADHD you are dealing with and how it interacts with your specific developmental history. For instance, if you are dealing with hyperactive and impulsive type ADHD, you might find yourself frequently interrupting friends and family at social events; if you have inattentive type ADHD, it could be that you make puzzling mistakes in your work due to being ‘zoned-out.’ However ADHD is manifested in your thoughts and behavior, it’s critically important that you obtain a professional assessment. Having a men’s ADHD assessment can help to determine the exact nature of your condition and the best treatment options available to you.
If you are told your ADHD assessment would benefit from a questionnaire completed by your mum, your older brother or someone else who knew you growing up, you are not being doubted. A collateral history (an account from someone who has known you a long time) is a standard, recommended part of good adult ADHDLeer Más
