ADULT ADHD DIAGNOSIS UK

Diagnosing Adult ADHD in the UK is more difficult because there's some
disagreement about whether the list of symptoms used to diagnose children and
teenagers also applies to adults. Free Adult ADHD screening using the ASRS5 and
ASRSv1.1 screening tools will highlight the presence of ADHD symptoms and
suitability for private ADHD assessment. As part of your private ADHD
assessment, Adult ADHD psychiatrist Dr Iqbal Mohiuddin will ask you about your
present symptoms. However, under current diagnostic guidelines, a diagnosis of
Adult ADHD cannot be confirmed unless your symptoms have been present from
childhood.



If you find it difficult to remember whether you had problems as a child or you
were not diagnosed with ADHD in childhood and adolescence, Dr Iqbal Mohiuddin
may wish to see your old school reports or talk to your parents, teachers or
anyone else who knew you well when you were a child.



For an Adult ADHD diagnosis to be made, symptoms should also have a moderate
effect on different areas of their life, such as:

 * Underachieving at work or in education

 * Driving dangerously

 * Difficulty making or keeping friends

 * Difficulty in relationships with partners.



If your problems are recent and did not occur regularly in the past, you are not
considered to have ADHD as it is currently thought that ADHD cannot develop for
the first time in adults.
