Understanding ADHD in Students

Having ADHD impairs the executive function of our brain that we mainly use in school and work.

Executive Function and Academic Studies

Executive function refers to a set of cognitive processes, controlled by the brain’s prefrontal cortex, that are vital for organising thoughts, managing time, making decisions, and regulating emotions.

In students with ADHD, these functions are often impaired, making it harder to stay focused, prioritise tasks, and follow through with academic responsibilities. ADHD disrupts the brain’s ability to efficiently process and act on information, leading to challenges with studying, completing assignments, and managing deadlines.

These struggles often lead to academic underperformance and increased stress.

Setting up a Shared Care Agreement with your GP

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.
